Countdown to Halloween

Halloween 2009 was a bit crap (yes that's me in the frightwig)

Okay so we've all made mistakes. We've all thought we could cut corners on our Halloween costumes and buy nylon $5 wigs and get away with it haven't we? Last year was not one hundred per cent on the Halloween costume front. I'm prepared to accept that skimping and scraping didn't give me the desired result to wow the suburban crowd around here. Some of them even asked "Who are you meant to be?" Ho hum. So this year is going to be big. It's going to be huge. I'm going to start work on my Halloween costume right now and I want your input.

At the moment I'm thinking of being:

1.Large Scary Lady with human crotch



2. Sexy Straight Jacket (downside: not being able to drink wine or stuff face full of candy)


3. Saucy Girl Scout - Does Anyone Want To Buy Any Cookies?



4. Life Sized Sock Money (Problem: I'm not a very good knitter)




5. Flying Monkey from Wizard of Oz - I love this but how do I get myself to fly?




6. Air on a C-String. Had no idea what a C-string was until VeryBored explained the ins and outs of this new fangled device for ladies who are nuts. (Downside: pretty sure I don't have the arse to carry this off).




7. Posh n Becks Skeleton Sandwich (problems: need to find a David Beckham lookalike in a few weeks. Any offers? Also need to lose 80lb)




So let's have your votes. Think carefully here about the pros and cons of each outfit. Any other ideas more than welcome. And what about you - what are you going to be this year?

Go with your Austrian heritage: Naughty Tyrolean Milkmaid!

I have a "friend" who would pay extra for that. Just saying.

Kelloggsville said...

C String! someone will invent a panty liner for that as well FFS!

Do you have to kill and skin a bear for the snickers costume?

I think Morticia is always a good look- sexy and yet black is so candy forgiving :0)

Steve said...

2,3 or 6. But to be honest the cheap Marilyn outfit worked for me as well. I don't think I'm getting the right vibe from this Hallowe'en thing at all, really, am I?

EmmaK said...

Steve...dare I ask what sexy outfit you'll be wearing on the big night?

Steve said...

Benny Hill's "Ernie The Fastest Milkman In The West" outfit. My wife says it's very apt for some reason.

Some Chilean Woman said...

The C-String would make a nice headband, or whatever Posh is wearing on her head.

Gorilla Bananas said...

I suggest you go as Lady Penelope from Thunderbirds, because you're blond and can do the voice. Can you do the poncy walk of a Thunderbird puppet?

Bambam said...

That's an easy one. #2 The Sexy Straight Jacket for SURE!!

The C-string leaves too little to the imagination and all the others creep me out a bit - although it is Halloween - maybe that's the point.

But if you want my vote, go for the straight jacket you crazy sex goddess!!

Mia said...

C string.. hahaha! this is actually the first time I've heard about it and seen it. Didn't know such a thing existed.=P

I vote for the Saucy Girl Scout!

Please, could someone make Halloween a criminal offence?

EmmaK said...

Gumpher....I love Halloween! all that candy and mulled wine and fake smoke and pumpkins and apple bobbing. What's not to love???

EmmaK said...

Steve...lol
Well look on the bright side - at least you have some milk left in your bottle!

EmmaK said...

Gorilla Bananas...that is a brilliant suggestion. The problem is usually that anyone under 40 won't know what I am but no matter I will tie some strings to my hands and start practicing the walk.

EmmaK said...

XL...all right fine mate ...but if I wear the Naughty Tyrolean Milkmaid your 'friend' wil have to wear lederhosen - are we on?

No 1 for me, is that the bride of Wildenstein's holiday job?

Memphis Steve said...

I'm voting for the girl scout costume. If you can look anything like Fergie does in that thing then it is definitely the way to go. Just watch out for anyone dressed up as a boy scout or you might be molested in an attempt to get into your cookies.

Electro-Kevin said...

Air on a C String pleeeeeease !

EmmaK said...

Electro-Kevin...your request has been noted and I will do my very best to accomodate you.

Electro-Kevin said...

Oooh yeah !

OT - a Brit program called The Inbetweeners is coming your way.

Wet-yerself funny comedy. Be sure to catch it.

xx

EmmaK said...

Electro-Kevin...I think I caught a glimpse of it on BBC America ... puerile humour just up my alley!

Organic Motherhood with Cool Whip said...

OMG I just died laughing. I'm voting for scary lady with human crotch. She's the best. By far.

London City Mum said...

1. I am not your newest follower (just in case you were wondering)
2. I hate Halloween
3. I hate Xmas more
4. Just typing that is putting me in a bad mood which typically does not start until mid-November and lifts around December 26th
5. Sorry, what was the question?

Bah humbug (early)

HAHAHAHA! I'm so glad you linked up with Fawk You Friday. You're hilarious! (Loved you as Marilyn by the way!)

I'm down with the David & Vic sandwich...but I can't put down the cupcakes long enough to look like her.

Crazy Brunette said...

C String bitch!

fingers said...

Can you pull your flaps up over your ears and go as a Venus Fly-Trap ???

I'll let myself out...

mrshev.com said...

C-String...or alternatively, dye your pubes pink.

EmmaK said...

Mr Shev....pink pubes...I like it...now you're thinking outside the box!

fingers....I'm going to give my flaps a good yank and see if I can pull that off.

Unleash the sexual spirit of halloween with a sex toy from hotgvibe.com . You go out take your kid for a night on the town to get all hopped up on lots and lots of candy. But when you put them to bed it's time to bring out your special treat.
