Halloween costume ideas

[Sopdet]

I will be in the USA this coming Halloween. So looking for some costume ideas.

Two criteria:
1. Be able to pack into suitcase
2. Won't arouse suspicion when my bag gets scanned.

So please give me some ideas. No witches (I'm spending the week with a bunch if them)

Thanks in advance

Ooh how exciting!

Sorry no great ideas here!

[Sopdet]

I know!!! Can't wait. Will be awesome.

Don't bother. Just buy what you need at a Dollar Store or something when you get there, preferably something that can be added to pretty regular clothes (can buy there too if you don't want to get anything on your normal clothes) and some costumey makeup etc? They'll have a better variety over there, it'll be cheap, and you can ditch or donate or after and not have to clog up your luggage.

Don't know if I'll get the chance to shop there beforehand. Will be on retreat. So will be cloistered at our resort. Clogging bag not really a problem as all I'm taking clothes wise is yoga stuff.

Also control freak in me wants to be organised

Go as a hippy.

Dorothy from Kansas? With her little dog too.

Take a few pairs of stockings, buy a newspaper when there and stuff scrunched up balls of it into the stockings. Wear black. Instant spider! Can attach all your limbs to your wrists with ribbon or string or something similar (and bangles if you have them work) and to your back with a belt. Used this costume a few years back and it was a big hit

Queen of Hearts
A Puritan
Cleopatra
Snow White
Convict
Red Riding Hood
Vampire

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

A psychopath. They dress just like ordinary people. (Gotta love The Addams Family.)

With your looks and figure, surely the only real contender is Wonder Woman.

Got a baby you could borrow?

Spending time with a bunch of witches already? haha....love it....sounds like fighting talk.

Had a look around and found some costume ideas that are out of the norm...

Sailor Moon - she was an anime/cartoon character who saved the World from a bunch of protagonist. Sexy outfit too.


Will think of some more and come back to you. I need something myself, so am on the look out.

I've got a few ideas that I'm working through. Thanks for all the ideas. Still taking ideas.

I've asked if we can do a trip to Walmart before Halloween (will depend on timings of rituals, yoga, meditation, workshops etc), but I want to have a back-up just in case we don't make it there beforehand. Going to make something out of things I've got here and sew up some crepe paper into something.
