Title: Halloween
Post by: Tesla on October 18, 2008, 09:50:40 AM
Have any plans?

I think we're going to go to a party that my ex-girlfriend/our friend invited us to.

The only thing is, I think we have to dress up for it.  I hate dressing up for halloween.  I loved it as a kid, but I get so self-conscious now. 

My idea is to go as Arthur Dent from the latest adaptation of HHGTTG.

Trillion was gorgeous. I mean in the BBC2 series not the crappy film; although she was probably alright too - I can't remember.

I'm going to leave my hair messy, throw on my old bathrobe and let the neighbors 4 cats follow me around as usual. Hell I don't need to dress up for Halloween, I already know how to scare small children and young adults.

 :lol:

The kid is going as Raiden (Mortal Kombat) this year, a ninja costume and a coolie hat was a hell of alot easier than spending a week trying to make a masive gourd for him to carry around on his back when he went as Gaara (Naruto) last year.

I have not dressed up for Halloween in maybe 9 or 10 years.   I don't give a shit about it to be honest.    It was great when I was a kid.

I will not dress up all I want to do is hide from all the people at the door.  I will end up passing out candy though and drinking heavily till my wife gets back

the film was useless, and the tv version was good, but the original radio series was the best - i nearly injured myself laughing at that.

I'll dress up as Princess Leia and my husband will dress up as Darth Vader, including the mask and helmet.

Our daughter will dress up as Experiment 277, a character from Lilo and Stitch which looks like a big purple bat.

I finished her costume, but I still have a little work to do on my husband's and mine.

I got my invite for a sci-fi club's Halloween party.  I'm going to use the same simple approach that I've used for several years of conventions and Halloweens, just throw a black trenchcoat on over my everyday clothes, and then cap it with a fedora and I'm good to go.

Halloween's good, one night out of the year in which everybody's supposed to be weird.  I like it.

I ordered a Teletubby costume and it came a few days ago. I am going to wear it on Halloween and pass out candy to the kids. There won't be very many though because not many came by last year. I'll just sit around at home anyway and if none come by this year, then we will have bunch of candy to eat.


I have wanted to be a Teletubby ever since I was 15 but couldn't find one in adult size so I had to be something else that year. Then I finally found one on Amazon in my size and ordered it. It is big on me because it was "one size fits most adults."

That's cool, Spokane Girl.  Which Teletubby are you going to be?  I was Tinky-Winky a few years ago, my husband was Po, and our daughter was Dipsy.  I made her costume from a pattern out of green fleece, then I bought sweatsuits for my husband and me, purple for me and red for him, with extra sweatshirts.  I used the bodies of the spare sweatshirts to make the hoods and antennae and I used the sleeves to make the mittens.  Then I sewed rectangles of shiny cloth on our tummies to make the TV screens.  I think that we were cute.

Thank you. :)

The photos look roughly the same. If you look fat it is because the costume is a bit too big for you. Aren't the Teletubbies meant to look fat? I don't know much about them.
Title: Re: Halloween
Post by: Alex179 on October 18, 2008, 08:22:13 PM
Teletubbies are supposed to look roundish I thought.   You don't look fat SG, the costume is supposed to look like that imo.

I look thin in the second picture but when I rotated it, it changed the look of my body. It was like it smashed the picture down a little when I did, so I posted both of them.
Title: Re: Halloween
Post by: Callaway on October 18, 2008, 09:16:18 PM
I don't think that you look fat at all.  This is Po, who looks kind of round.

Cute costume.   :laugh:

I remember when my son literally ate, breathed, and slept teletubbies. The theme song is still burned into my brain. :zombiefuck:

Always did like Po the best, I think I still have one of the "recalled" talking Po dolls around somewhere.
Title: Re: Halloween
Post by: Natalia Evans on October 18, 2008, 10:32:44 PM
Po's my favorite and I was fixated on the show. I even had the theme song stuck in my head. I like to imitate the voices of them and kids used to ask me to talk like a Teletubby and sing the song. My old shrink said they were making fun of me and I didn't believe him. I still don't know if they were but hey at least it got me positive attention and my shrink said what I was doing wasn't very good social skills and I would say "But the kids love it, why change?"


I even own a few videos and the game for PS1. My dad thought I was joking when I said I was buying it when we were at a department store. I was 17 then. I own all the talking Teletubbies and own a two huge ones which I left behind when I moved. I also own all the keychains which is also back in Montana. I even owned one that was a keychain I got out of the claw machine on Labor Day in 2000. It had a zipper on the back of it.
I also have one of the coloring books.

And now days from the same people who brought you Teletubbies, its "In the Night Garden".

That shit is starting to drive me mental, all the songs are stuck in my head and they wont come out  :'(

I blame my wife, she told me to download all the episodes that I could find for our 1yo daughter who is mad for the show, she watches a bunch all day now.

I'll prolly end up dressing up/hanging out at least twice.  I'm planning on doing a Britney outfit once (because I now not only have miniskirts but also shirts with collars- given how I normally dress it'll be an amusing contrast), and prolly my good ol' Harry Potter standard the other time.

Nor did I, until a couple days ago. I hate not being able to go anywhere on Halloween - it's more bittersweet than Christmas. I used to go LARP'ing every year in college but the past couple years haven't been able to find anything that felt like a celebration. I was getting desperate this year and about ready to show up cold to a halloween parade in the main street of this little town, which had been advertised on posters, but Wolf saved the day by somehow managing to get us invited to a coworker's party.

We went to a halloween party.  It sucked.  We stayed at most half an hour.

It took an hour to drive there, and another hour back.

It was a huge waste of time, money, and a good costume.

Arthur Dent was brilliant.  I got to wear my pajamas to a party.

I did not go to the party. I did the trick or vote thing and came back and it was after nine and I wanted to go home. I have to get up at 7:15.


Besides parties are boring anyway. Only thing I like there is the music but they don't always play the songs I like so it's boring.

I dressed up as Princess Leia and wore the costume all day, even on the bus and when my husband and I went out to lunch.  I got several compliments on it.

When my daughter and I got home from school around 6 PM, my husband dressed up as Darth Vader and we took our daughter trick-or-treating around the neighborhood until she was ready to come back home.  It was fun.
