No one told me it was a COSTUME PARTY!

[True North]

I need some help that only a DISer can give! So, my friends like to do things a bit diffrently. It is one of my good friends birthdays, and I have been looking forward to a nice party tonight. DS is going off to Grandmas for the night, so I have been trying to get everything ready in this fairly busy day. Usually the parties tend to have a theme, but that doesn't mean you need to know the theme in advace. However, I just got a call where I was informed the theme is "Halowe'en in March". Therefore I NEED A COSTUME!

Here is the thing, my friends tend to go all out. No half-tries from these people. I now have 4 hours before the drive to Grandmas to figure something out. I can leave the house, but carrying DS around the city won't work out well. So what ideas do you have for a guy with no time, no props, and no clue!?

HELP!

I like Wednesday's idea from the Addam's Family. Dress like you usually do and say your a serial killer. They look like everyone else.

I'd be hitting my local good will/value village!!

I couldn't tell from your post, are you male or female? My DH put together a simple invisible man outfit in no time for Halloween one year. It looked great! Of course, he happened to just have the right items laying around.

He wore a black suit jacket, black pants, black button up shirt, and white tie. He had a black fedora type hat that had a white band of fabric around it.

Then, he took white gauze he bought from CVS (you may even have some in a first aid kit) and wrapped up his face and neck. As a finishing touch, he added dark black sunglasses, like the ones from the 80's (think Top Gun).

It was really cool looking! Obviously it would work if you are male, but even if you are female it might add an additional twist which might be kind of neat!

There is another good yet simple costume DH did one time; I will have to try and remember it.

Sounds neat! I'm looking around the house for any costume supplies. Sadly, the only Value Village / Goodwill is about an hour away by Metro. This is the only time I dislike living in the middle of downtown Montreal.

And just so you know, I am a guy.

Mine this year was simple and everybody loved it. Get the name tags they give you that say "Hello, my name is__________" then cover yourself in them with al different names. You are either "identity theft" or having an "identity crisis".
