Halloween

Any one got any original ideas for costumes?

I guess it depends on the context of where you will wear the costume. Not every costume will work in every setting Like the time I arrived at a party dressed as "inside out".

I have a really good relationship with my local butcher. Mainly because my monthly house party makes him more profit in a day than he normally gets in 2 weeks.

But while sitting around lighting some of the not commercially available incense that a few of my "students" have given me I joked with him that I would love to dress up as "inside out" at least one Halloween. And he actually started listing for me which organ from which animal would be the closest to being realistic - like heart from a pig - lungs from a cow - kidneys from a sheep and so on and so on.

So when a mate of mine threw a house party with fancy dress for Halloween once - I basically tightened on a whitish skin colored body sheet fitted and tied in against the body - and then stapled and sewed on the organs in generally the right places. And then stuck a mirror to my forehead. The effect being that whoever meets you will look into their own eyes and then down on an inside out body

A seriously weird outfit to walk in I have to tell you. But -

Probably not the way YOU want to go - but if you are artistic with a white sheet and a load of crayons you could do an "inside out" costume that would be pretty cool. The goal being that you would be the only one not to use an indefinite article like "a" or "an" at the party. When people ask "what are you here as" most people say "I am an..." or I am here as a....." but you can boast you are the only one at the party who does not need "a" or "an" and you just reply "I am inside out"
