I doubt I would actually drop the money on this, but I found it absolutely hilarious: http://tinyurl.com/nlav5d

I've got a few ideas myself for this year, but I haven't made a final decision yet.

 

i was thinking of putting a giant white hefty bag filled with vasoline over me and go as a used condom.

 

lol

 

 

I was talking with Renee about this last night, really don't have any great ideas yet (sadly).

 

That is disgusting...and if you're gonna go that far, you might as well splatter some dark (red) corn syrup on the outside.

 

pedo bear is played out imo

 

Im "making" mine

 

how bout a transformer S2k?? I saw some guy with a 350z do it... came out nice...

 

Okay, so originally I was going to be Mordecai from the video game Borderlands, primarily because I play as him and the body style is a pretty close match for me.

That's definitely still an option, but I have a new idea. I think it would be absolutely awesome, but I wonder if the reference would be lost on too many people (probably the case if I went to a party of my peers).

Basically, I'd wear black slacks, black shoes, a black jacket, and sunglasses. I'd slick my hair back and fashion a tie to hang behind me, likely with some thin wire. Then, I'd make a black rectangular "chair" out of cardboard or something that would also have a fake lamp with an angled lamp shade and a little table with a tilted martini glass, having all of this attached to my back and bottom. Then, I could sit down on this contraption (would have to hold my own weight) and be the Maxell ad guy:



Is this far too obscure, or just obscure enough to be unique, but appreciated?

BTW, other DIY-style costume ideas are definitely welcome. I prefer doing the more unique things.
