Okay, so I know this is basically a Halloween costume thread, I wanted to show what we did for a Christmas party last year. We were invited to a "Tacky Christmas Sweater" party. The thought is, wear your tackiest christmas sweater, top, whatever and come to the party. Just a general good time laughing at each other's outrages light up party wear.....Well...I always have to push the envelope a bit, so I talked my husband into dressing up as a reindeer with me. Full on Reindeer costume, big stuffed head and all, and we show up to the party and we don't say a word. I had fastened the heads on with velcro so they couldn't lift them up and see who we were. It was hysterical! We were both laughing so hard, and everyone kept guessing who we were....needless to say, no one guessed us. It was only a few houses down from us, and we walked and then when we left, we walked away in the opposite direction because a few party goers were following us. We circled around several blocks finally lost them and then went home. I swear we laughed so hard and still to this day when I see these pictures on my fridge, I smile at the memory. Best Christmas party ever!

Unbelievably HOT! I had to get a snorkel and fit it into the head so I could breathe fresh air. I have a bit of claustrophobia anyway, so I can't breathe warm breath back in....it's just too much for me. My husband suffered through without one. I couldn't wait to get the head off, and we won't even discuss what my hair looked like. And it was Christmas time so it was in the 30's thank goodness for that. All in all it was the most fun I think I have ever had a party. People were FREAKED out that we wouldn't talk at all. But I did bring hostess gifts to the hosts...guess what??? A bottle of wine and Reindeer Oaties, oatmeal cookies with toffee chips. They loved them!

redoing the whole thing from scratch this year, the mask is about 75% done, just need to paint and add final touches. I'll be using 5 gallon buckets for stilts as well

This is the only picture I could find of me in my dolly costume- I dressed up in it a few times that season, but just sort of slapped the makeup on for this party I went to. The wig took me the most time, I took it with me to school and work and braided in yarn and ribbon. In the end I gave up and went with pigtails instead of a full head of yarn lol.

Zombie- this was at my best friend's wedding rehearsal dinner (which was Halloween themed)
