Help: I need a costume idea!!

[Free4Life11]

I'm really introverted, quiet, shy, etc. To top it off I am studying accounting so I'm pretty much a BORING person. Anyways there is this Halloween costume party I want to go to but I can't think of anything and you HAVE to wear a costume. Anyone have any ideas that are fairly simple and cheap? The only thing I have though of it a mad scientist.

A smiley face sticker and name tag and go as a Walmart door greeter?

So go as a "Boring Accountant"! Dress for work, carry a copy of the tax code or GAAP and some spreadsheets.... maybe a laptop case....

or go as a "Bean Counter"....... Carry a jar of beans with numbers on them and a calculator!

ps.... I'm not an accountant, but I am a budget analyst type...... so I definitely understand!

Wow, great ideas! I am so not creative it's not funny.

They sometimes call me the Budget Queen...... heee heee..... just realized if I needed a costume I could get a tiara and use a loooonnnnnnggggg spreadsheet for my sash! And I could dole out gold covered chocolate coins to all the beggars for money!

Hmmm...quiet, shy, studious...you sound like Belle would suit you just fine!

Get a frig box (the big box stores or appliances stores) and dress up as a milk carton.
Paint it white then add details ( could put a pic of you with the "Have you seen this person" on the back, cut out arm/neck holes, and voila..you're a carton of milk

Except I'm a guy!

jlaspoq - I could be perfectly content just spending my day at a computer making spreadsheets and charts. Suffice it to say, I think Excel rocks!

LOL! I am happiest at work when I have to put some new sort of spreadsheet together...... You should see my Disney trip plans!

 

[jlaspoq]

I guess you COULD still be a Budget Queen - but it would definitely take on a different connotation for you!

Ok. Get some black pants, and a black long sleaved shirt, and a black ski mask. Buy those little 'fun sized' cereal boxes. Empty out the cereal and stick a plastic spoon in each (four or five is enough) then attach those (hot glue) to your shirt. You are now a Cereal Killer.

Do you have a black suit? Add sunglasses and you could either go as Men in Black or one of the Blues Brothers.

Ok here goes....
Dress all in black and then use safety pins to attach laundry on yourself and go as static cling!
or ......
dress in white or black and fill it with little balloons and punch holes in it for arms and legs and go as a bag of jelly beans
Easy and funny to boot!

The easiest one I ever did, was to tape a large "P" on your shirt and using make-up, give yourself a black eye = you are a black-eyed pea.

LOL I did the same thing! Had a beautiful spreadsheet if I do say so myself. I also had a perfectly formatted Word outline. Everything was exact, down the spacing and "format" of each day. If only I could put that on my resume...

Thanks for the ideas!! These are all great.

I wonder if I could go as a spreadsheet, althoguht that would be incredibly lame...maybe just take one of my white t-shirts and make columns and rows...I could spray my hair green, since green is the Excel color. I'd probably have to explain to everyone what I was though LOL.

You could be a dalmation dog. I saw someone do it once -- she wore all white sweat pants and sweat shirt, sewed or glued black felt "spots" all over it and made droopy ears out of felt (attached to some kind of head band) then did her face with a black nose. It was cute.

 

[jlaspoq]

Since you are a guy, there's another good one - attach pictures of baby chicks all over you..... lots of them.....


You're a Chick Magnet!

How did I miss that the OP is a guy???

Dalmation is still a cute idea.

 

[Free4Life11]

No dalmatian for me. No me gusta perros (I believe pero is dog.)

Chick magnet, that's pretty creative!

Ok I'll give you this idea, but you have to have fun with it. Get a blue shirt, white felt and a water spritz bottle. Cut out cloud shapes and tape them (double sided works best) to the shirt. Then put it on. Fill up the water bottle. When someone asks what you are squirt them and say Partly cloudy with a chance of rain.
