Halloween costume ideas! Help!

[Peach13]

Hi ladies! I need help finding a costume idea for a Halloween party. Although my wife knows about my dressing my family don't so I can't go dressed up but was hoping to come up with an idea where I could at at least add make up! I thought Marilyn Manson. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks 😊

Alice Cooper! If you are really good David Bowie! Just my $.02! Hugs and good luck! Lana Mae

Any member of KISS! You could rock platform boots too, and a wig!!

80’s themed Boy George

Dr Frank from 'Rocky Horror' - the best of both worlds

[Bobbi46]

What about the ultimate! Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) from Tomb raider.

[Julie Slowinski]

I like the Bowie idea, but your friends are likely to young to appreciate it. How about Harle Quin. It was so popular last year with the GGs, so this year it could be put over as something funny.

[Taylor186]

I did the cat thing for several years. Basically all femme makeup and a black nose and a wig. Received a lot of positive comments, from women.

I’ve gone out dressed as an outrageous drag queen. YouTube has great videos for ideas. No one knew how great I felt. I received many compliments.

[Micki_Finn]

The Joker from Batman would be relatively timely. Then you have your choice of Heath Ledger, Jared Leto, Jack Nicholson, or Caesar Romero.

I had the same problem and then decided to be a cheer leader. Found a great outfit on Amazon and will wear it to hand out candy on Halloween evening. Not worried about neighbors, as several have come dressed with their kids over the years. Should be fun although my wife just rolled her eyes at the thought

Zombie [using this tutorial (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ptx7iNE_gU8) which entirely make up based]

Sugar skull

[Kayliedaskope]

Sugar skulls are more Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) than Halloween. Save that for All Souls Day.


I'm waiting for someone to costume up as Bugs Bunny in drag.......

[alesha]

Bugs bunny in drag... I might have to steal this idea for next year and this might be the version I try

[Kayliedaskope]

Woohoo! You go, girl!

[Tracy Irving]

This would allow you to work on your eye makeup.

one year my wife went as Charlie sheen and I was his/her hooker!!

[Michelle55]

A few years ago my wife was a wild west gambler complete with an ace of spades with a bullet hole in it on her hat and I went as a saloon girl.

Of the 5 awards I won both the Most Original and Best Overall. Funniest and Scariest don't count but I wished I had gotten Sexiest.

[natalie_cheryl]

What about the big bad wolf in grandma's nightgown?

[Cherylgyno]

Peach. Just a shot in the dark... The song Betty Davis eyes. You can go in drab with your face all painted accenting your eyes. Like I said, a shot in the dark. Another might be a male witch. All dressed up in Black, a velvet cake. Wild heavy makeup dark eyes. Sorry if I wasn't any help.

[IleneD]

I don't give a rip about theme. I just want to put on a gown and GO OUT!!!!!, for crying out loud.
I am not widely socially active in the CD or TG scene here in Denver/Boulder metro. I don't have a Halloween party I can go to or where I've been invited. I am absolutely DYING to get dressed up and go out for Halloween...... I mean DRESSED UP !!!!

[Brandie.n]

Easy half man half woman the man can be legs down the woman is waist up that way you can wear a girly to makeup and a wig

[Kayliedaskope]

Or if you want to really push some limits, do a half-and-half outfit: left half feminine, right half masculine. Get a suit and an old gown, cut each in half, sew them together, do the makeup (talk about challenging!), and just have fun with it! Oh, and don't go outrageous for the heels, you'll be walking lopsided all night. :p

Has anyone tried a mother of the bride costume? I was going through my dress inventory and found about 4 dresses that are formal enough and yet not the show stealer all brides dread. BTW, I intend on going as a flapper this year. I am almost as old (sic).

[Tracy329]

I did that two years ago and was Caitlyn and Bruce. I got a lot of positive feedback on it. Hot glue gun was an amazing help. I just visited the local good will and got a few articles of clothing. Used a ball cap I cut in half for the male side.

[Kayliedaskope]

Okay, now we GOTTA see a picture, Tracy! :)

[Joyce Swindell]

I went to a family function for Halloween one year as a woman. I just did my makeup poorly on purpose because my wife didn't want any part of it. Family knew I was a bit "off" and only asked questions of where did get the dress...answer Goodwill. Then they wanted to know if they could have it when I was done. Some cousins joked around and was hitting on me! lol

[AlexisRaeMoon]

I like the Bowie idea, but your friends are likely to young to appreciate it.

That's what I did last year! Ziggy Stardust, baby. Super-femme makeup, but with the lightning bolt. Skin tight, purple pants, and tall, high heeled boots. It's about as close as you can get to crossdressing without actually crossdressing.

[Kayliedaskope]

There was a funny story about David Bowie's daughter I read somewhere. When she was being interviewed, the reporter mentioned how nice she looked. The daughter replied, "Thank you - my father taught me how to do my makeup."

[Majella St Gerard]

If you don't care what people think or say just pick any female costume, how bout little red riding hood, I'm going to be a sexy witch.

[Meghan4now]

Gee,

Just to wear makeup but not quite a girl? Pirate, vampire, ghost, any variety of animals, (especially a fox), kubki dancer, Chinese or Japanese opera, the list is huge!

[Tracii G]

Please no Jack Sparrow that is too over done.

[Periwinkle]

I'm gonna be a ghost. That's what I'm telling everyone. But what I'm not telling everyone is that I'm gonna be a ghost with long hair, a pretty old-fashioned dress, and spooky, but still mildly aesthetically pleasing makeup. XP

[Dana44]

I knew a girl that ran as Marvin Mars girl. She built it herself and she look just like him Ray gun and everything.

[Christina Page]

This year I am going as Wonder Woman.

[Brandie.n]

this year im supergirl

[Heisthebride]

If your wife is in on it, Sonny and Cher, you be Cher.

80's over the top Madonna or Cyndi Lauper, again if you want a couples costume Madonna and Rosanna Arquette from Desperatley Seeking Susan.

Couples - Bride and groom, guess which you get to be.

[Amy07]

Beautiful dear!

[Bella.CD]

Any hair band front man, light makeup, lots of eyeliner! Or, as previously mentioned, pick a KISS member.
