another costume thread: last minute ideas?

<p>mafool - a pig nose might be easier to do than pig ears. (I’m thinking round top from an aerosol can, with nostrils painted on, and with a band or tie to go around your head. But I think Party City sells pig snouts, too.)</p>

<p>I love the idea. Really cute! My D wore a pig snout last year, and wrapped herself in her afgan - she was supposed to be a pig in a blanket, but everyone thought she was Penelope. I’ll be interested so see if anyone guesses that for you.</p>

<p>A pair of wings and a pig snout could be swine flew.</p>

<p>OK…no time to read the whole thread so I hope this isn’t a repetition. Be a LAUNDRY BASKET.</p>

<p>You pin wrinkled clothes all over your clothes (I would suggest wearing a grey sweatsuit). Then you take a laundry basket and cut out the bottom. Make straps or use old belts to make shoulder straps. Clean out a laundry detergent bottle and cut the top off…use it to hold your “candy”.</p>

<p>I can’t take credit for the floozy idea. A coworker came up with it yesterday when I was riffing on various other swine flu notions.</p>

<p>Today I stopped by a costume shop and bought a blond DollyParton style wig. It cost all of $12 so you can imagine the quality! Oh I do look trashy!</p>

<p>ahhh… too late!! Maybe next year. Cut a circle of green astroturf (green felt will do). Put a little flag on it. Wear it on your head and go as a golf-hole!</p>

<p>Trick or treating done. How was the floozie outfit, mafool?</p>

<p>Thanks for asking, Jolynne. Turns out I trash up pretty well! Some people who know me well did double takes before recognizing me under all the blond hair and makeup. I found a ready-made pig-ear head band, so I had the pink ears peeking out of the curls ala Miss Piggy.</p>

<p>Cute!!! I bet it looked super!!</p>
