whats the most innovative, or original costume you have ever seen? you know, the kind, that made you think, WOW!

A woman wore a thong  and heels, said she was customed as a stripper.

A guy wore a three-piece suit, said he was customed as a plutocrat.

[This was at the same party.  In fact, these two attended as a couple.]

Made me think of giving up attending Halloween parties.

A guy wore a nice suit and, when approached, he held out his hand which had handcuffs on it and introduced himslef, "Hi. I'm Tom Delay".

a plate of some yellowish pudding that was strapped around his crotch.

I asked him what he was and he said:

"I'm fucking dis custid"

Ba doom

(Not really, but I've been waiting for years to use this one. 8o)

I wore a trench coat, a fedora (old man's hat), and underneath, an oversized 'figleaf' with speedo under that and went as a flasher.  Too chicken to go naked.  Did get a few laughs.

Back in the '80's we used to have to have a Halloween parade in the attrium at the office.  One socially conscience woman there came in dressed as the Statue of Liberty during it's renovation, then came in the following year as a bag lady to raise awareness of the plight of the homeless.  That same year, a dude came in dressed as Jason from Friday the 13th, and hammed it up big time.  Another dude was dressed as a cop, then ripped it the uniform off...that dude moonlighted as a performer at Chippendales...the women at the office were buzzing for the rest of the day!  Anyway, just my thoughts and contributions on this subject...

one time I saw a girl with body paint on, it was similar to this pic, but boy, it caused a real commotion, needless to say, she walked away with first  prize

...is so um, "smitten" that he's about to lose his cigarette!

more like dumbfounded!!

That had to have taken about a day to put that on.

1) I saw a guy dressed as the "Alien" from the movie by that name. It was elaborate, convincing, to the point of being scary.

2) A guy dressed as a volcano, calling himself Krakatoa. I kid you not. His wife was dressed as St. Helens.  He would drain his drinks, I kid you not, by dipping his finger in. Apparently, he would suck it in through a tube.

3) I saw one similar to the one you've shown above. But it wasn't just her face. She was dressed as a tiger. It was done just with body-paint. She looked-- savage.

4) Another woman, very slim, dressed as a butterfly, with colorful wings. She was trained in ballet and could actually spread the wings and "take flight"-- for a second or two. It made for a good picture, but I didn't have a camera.

5) A woman in a mysterious veil-- a burgha really. I mean it covered everything including her eyes (she moved very slowly). You couldn't see any of her features. She was a "Cloaked Klingon Ship."

ohhh, that reminds me, I have a sari , that I can wear on halloween,

one time dressed as the Mummy. Boy that took a long time to put on all that tan medical gauze. Had ladies chasing me around all night trying to find out how 'costumed' I really was.  It was fun being 'unwrapped' later on!

there was a party where everyone had to dress as an emotion......one guy came painted blue....he was "blue," depressed.....another "green with envy" etc  ......till the last guy came in in regular clothes, his fly open, and his penis in a bowl of pudding......aghast, they asked what emotion he represented........"Fucking dis custard" he said....ba da boom  ka ching!!!!

a giant pear stuck on his dick - he was "fucking dispair"

who went in a pair of slacks.

He told the people he was a premature ejaculation.

He just came in his pants.

Pageant winner with the Rhinestone tiara, the roses, the fabulous smile(but lipstick a bit smeared), wearing skimpy teddy, hair flattened and messy only in the back, and her sash reading "freshly Fu%@&d".

There was a guy at a party who just had the word "ceiling" on his hat and sweatshirt.  Took me a bit to get it...he was a "ceiling" fan.

Badump.

I once worked at a large company for over 12 years.  About 7 or 8 years into my employment, the company laxed up a bit and held a pretty good halloween party.  In fact, the first year this party was held there was a contest for best costume.  The two best that I ever saw were from that year.  However, you had to be an employee to really appreciate these costumes though.  One was where a female had swiped our janitor's shirt a few weeks in advance.  She had it altered down in size to fit her.  She got her hair colored from normal brown to a black/gray (salt & pepper) combination, and styled it to match.  She got her face "marked up" with some kind of marker to match this guy's perpetual 3-days growth.  And to top it off, she mastered this guy's lumbering walk.  Keep in mind, this janitor was the company joke.  He was a slacker and a goofball, who basically kept his job because he was funnier than hell.  Many of us also suspected that he had inside knowledge on one of the bosses and was using it, because this guy did NO work and was stupid beyond belief.  So now we got this woman who's somehow managed to dress herself and accentuate her features to look "JUST LIKE HIM"!  In that she mastered his walk (perhaps the funniest thing of all) and learned to imitate him to near perfection, this costume was a scream!!!  It would've easily won first place if not for her boss' costume.  He was probably the only lovable director the company ever had.  A truly funny and likeable guy.  He came dressed as a chef.  Not just an ordinary chef.  His everyday facial features were funny enough (think Dom Deluise), but on this day he took it to the limit by donning the funniest set of novelty teeth I've ever seen.  While we live in the south, we're no where near the state of Lousiana.  So Cajun humor goes over pretty big.  He had the Crazy Cajun Chef thing down to a "T"!  Not just with his goofy appearance, but with his mannerisms and dead-on-perfect imitations.  To top it off, he actually prepared about 10 to 12 "crazy cajun" dishes and had them on a chef's cart.  He went around all day rolling his cart up to people and offering them a taste of "his dishes", telling them what each item was.  To see, and more importantly hear, this man describe his offerings was truly the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.  I know I can't do it justice by describing it, but he won (deservedly so) over a costume that on any other year would've been unbeatable.

...The Charlie Sheen costume is one of my favs, as well.
