ah real monsters


So, I'm already thinking up what I'm going to be for Halloween. Originally Craig and I were planning on dressing as Hellboy and Liz, but that's a monumentous task and I don't think either of us has the money, time or patience to actually create the Hellboy costume (the Liz one would be relatively simple in comparison).

Then I thought it would be fun for us to dress as Tony Stark and Captain America since I bask in the homoerotic love that is so obvious in any of the Avengers comics. Plus, I think Craig secretly wants to make an arc reaktor. But since I was going to go as Cap (since Craig looks eerily like Tony since he's grown in the goatee-- something that probably spawned from my endless chatter about how hot RDJ was in Iron Man), and I just went through hell bleaching my hair, finding SFX dye and dying it atomic pink, I want to do something a little less, erm, BLONDE.

Plus, there's the whole "I have no money" thing.

So I'm trying to decide what I'm gonna be. I'm thinking something classic-ish. Like Frankenstein's monster/ zombie bride sort of thing. Maybe a witch (though I did that last year and got bored before I could recreate the costume for the Cal Arts party). I really want to do my makeup this year again and try something completely crazy and new. I'm probably going to try to do another zombie thing, but have more skull showing, make it more Land of the Dead and less Evil Dead.

Oh, the ideas springing to mind. :D
