I knew what I my costume for Halloween this year was going to be. I was looking forward to it.

Until I realized that dressing up as a Victorian vampiress wasn't really going to look that different from my everyday clothing. The only way someone who knew me would be able to tell I was 'dressed up' was the fact that there were going to be spatters of blood on me (much like the icon I used on this post).

stroppy_baggage says I should take that to mean I've reached a pinnacle of my Every Day Is Halloween spooooooky life. (Yes dear, I'm paraphrasing what you said. Hush.) But that still leaves me with what the heck to wear for Halloween. I suppose I could go with a fairy gothmother costume again (yay tutu and bat wings!), but that's kinda been my default costume for a few years.
Hmmph. Maybe I can still figure out a way to do an elaborate Victorian vampiress. I SO wanted to play with stage blood again ...

One word: cheerleader.

Seriously tho', Halloween (for me) is about dressing up in even MORE wildly-elaborate clothing, and indulging the more fanciful parts of my personality. Which is why I like costumes where I can wear wings.

and while your at it, help me think of a good costume for this year. If I am coming to your party, I might as well look good.

The cheerleader idea is Deliciously perverse, but the visions I'm having of you as queen are so beautiful, I'd have to agree with caliban1227.
Did you know that I won "Scariest Costume" at Grind this year?
I was a soccer mom.

No. No, no, no. Batcave-y or Deathrock-y, maybe. Not hair metal.

Are you wearing whatever the costume is Saturday, to my signing at Barnes and Noble? Because, WOOT!

You could be a cheerleader if you wanted to see wisps of smoke drift out of my ears. Or better yet, be a stone butch, fob-chain-wearing stubble-headed diesel dyke. (Don't actually shave your head, though, or I'll cry.)

The best idea I ever had was my Corporate Whore costume, but these days I can't really get away with hot pants. (Plus button-down white shirt, tie, blazer, platform heels, bright red lipstick.)

Or, Queen Elizabeth I. You can get a cheap hoop and smoosh the front and back to get the farthingale shape and use a lot of what you already have. But get a strawberry blonde wig and do it up and that white make-up for that freaky picture.
