I really am looking forward to Halloween this year. Last year I was a Iceland Air Stewardess. If you ever have flown Iceland Air you'd know why!
I'd like to be a celebrity female this year, a few years ago I missed the opportunity to dress up as Sarah Palin. Politics aside I love her fashion.
Her star has faded and I am looking for ideas another iconic public person????
Any Ideas sister???????
That's so weird...I've had 3 different people from 3 different places
tell me my little avatar picture looked like Sarah. lol. I don't see it myself...
I've lost track of who's who in the celeb world. Last one I recall was...
um...er...The Gaga lady...what was her name? I spend all my TV time
chatting with real TV's these days...
Anyways... I Do love Halloween! I'll be thinking now that I've thought
about it. I think i'll be a girl this year. Again ...lol!
Hi Paula,
Okay, I am going to go out on an "aging" myself limb here. How about a retro celebrity costume . . . Carole Brady a la Brady Bunch. You would require a different hair style and you could dress 60s in a hip mom kind of way.

I haven't been to the Halloween party at the club in a couple of years. Last time I went I was a zombie "bride" in black and my friend Mary was the "groom". We both looked like death warmed over (groan). Prior to that I went as a good witch wearing a butterfly gown and before that a female Green lantern. I've been wanting to go as Black Canary a la the erstwhile "Smallville" TV series. I did a "dress rehearsal" with that once and it came out pretty well. We'll see.
Second star to the right and straight on till morning
If I get to go somewhere as Krisi I will be happy.
How about Martha Stewart! Go as Glampira!
I went last year at Halloween as Mrs. Bates! Must have done a good job because most people thought that I was a real woman dressed as her! Oh my! Well I do have a very womanish sounding voice.

Ann Romney, she is a great style you could get some one to dress a Mitt
I'm debating... Either a Playboy bunny, or Barbra Eden's, Genie.
That's thinking ahead! In my case I won't be doing anything for Halloween least of all dress up as a woman! Halloween parties for adults are rare here. Even though we invented it. We even get a public holiday for it. These days it's all about the kids.
It's a pity really.
How about Wonder Woman?
First idea was best. Sara Palin. Carry a salmon instead of a purse.
Can you convince your date to dress as a polar bear?
I looked at your Flickr page. You always appear very elegant. I wish I had the opportunity and guts to just go out as Stephanie. You obviously have gone out as Paula numerous times, so just appearing in ordinary garb is not an event for you. My suggestion is not to mimic a particular person, but, a period dress. I love some of the dresses Scarlet O'Hara wore in Gone with the Wind. Perhaps one of the period dresses with a wide full hoop. If you have a male friend who is willing, have him dressed as a Civil War general.
Paula, I think that with your overall appearance, presentation, and and facial structure, you would be a natural as an Amy Poehler look-alike. Trouble is, as a Halloween character she doesn't really have a "signature look" like Sarah Palin that would make her stand out in a crowd - unless, of course, you can find a dude who can do a credible Ron Swanson impersonation to accompany you - LOL!
I like the Martha Stewart suggestion that a previous poster made as well, and if you're into a 1980's "retro" look, you might even consider Krystle Carrington (Linda Evans) of "Dynasty" fame - big hair and shoulder pads included.
Of course, there's always Hilary Clinton or Angela Merkel, but something tells me that you wouldn't be into pantsuits as much as these ladies seem to be...
I don't want to be disrespectful, Lauren Becall. As an homage.....

Flo from Progressive.
I would try to do one of the Fox newscasters. You have a wide choice in ages and looks.

I got a witch costume a few years back, for a reasonable price. It's still in great shape, so I'll be a witch again this year.
I plan to dress as a Duchess this year.

Add a large Queen of hearts playing card, then just going round saying "off with his head!" at anyone who gives you grief!
"Normal is what you get when you average out the weirdness that everybody has." Quote from my SO
Normal is a setting on a washing machine, or another word for average.
The fact that I wear a skirt as a male should not be taken as a comment on what you do, or do not wear, or how you wear it.
Very good Kiva! She is very recognizableOriginally Posted by Kiva
Carol Brady hmmmmm now thats idea, I wanted to be Jan when I watch as a youth!!!!Hi Paula,

Dynasty was a cross dressers dream! Martha Stewart does have a signature look!!!Paula, I think that with your overall appearance, presentation, and and facial structure, you would be a natural as an Amy Poehler look-alike.

U r quite lucky, Paula. Few of us can dress like a regular woman on Halloween and get away with that.
Since Halloween is the only day of the year I mite pass? I like to try! For me, that means dressing as a woman wearing a costume. I recommend that to any dresser who would like, maybe JUST ONCE, to pass for a female!?
Here I am at a local club that has a huge H party! Passed at least 5, and maybe many more, times that nite.
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
Everyday is Halloween ........
I did it last year
I think I wanna go with "I dream of Jeanie" However, I need to get it done as cheaply as possible! Any thoughts?
PS, I'm used to making my own stuff.....
Wonder Woman for example, a spaghetti strap T, (I painted the logo) a navy blue bathing suit I painted the stars on, I cut up a gold gift bag for the belt, crown and bracelets, and painted the stars. The boots, I had go-go boot shoe covers left over from my Dallas Cowgirl outfit that I painted....
Anywho, Jeannie, I think I can find a pink sports bra on the cheep and hang a tassel on it, pink A dark pink button up shirt to cut off and make into the vest, (did something similar with my DCC outfit) should be a cheep easy find, but pink harem pants? I don't think Goodwill is going to have that!
