Halloween Party Costumes
Next month you’ll likely be sporting a different persona for a day or a night of partying at least. Consider these ideas I’ve conjured up for your next Halloween party get-up. These costumes can be worn by adults (who are acting like kids!). Part of the fun is gathering up the pieces and parts to make an outfit. Instead of a store-bought get-up that usually contains too many plastic parts for my taste. That’s just grotesque!
(Un) Creepy Costumes
I have just the costume for you if you wish to remain invisible at the next party. First off—know that in this costume you will find it nearly impossible to eat or drink. This one is called the Invisible Man. I like it because it’s very clever. This one you will have to purchase unless you are a costume engineer of sorts. You wear a tall overcoat with a white mesh dress shirt underneath. These fit all the way over your head so you see and talk through the mesh-front shirt. They are fitted on a harness. A clear inflatable ball sits on the shirt collar. The ball wears sunglasses and a men’s hat. The sleeves of the overcoat extend over your hands so the hands are invisible too. This costume works best for a short person since much of the costume is overhead. On the other hand, you may want to flaunt yourself in the Billionaire costume. Suit up in a conservative suit and accessorize with a big, replica Rolex. You're rich, so wear one on each wrist! Stuff play money in all your pockets. Master your Donald Trump expressions and top it all in his oversized strawberry blond rug (wig).
You can dress up 50’s style to give yourself an excuse to tote around the pink poodle purse—handles attach to its back. Wear a tight striped knit top with a wide poodle skirt. Wrap around a shiny, colorful vinyl belt. Put black and white saddle shoes on and horn-rimmed rhinestone glasses. You’ve got to see the oversized bob woman’s wig. It looks like it could hold a soccer ball underneath! Finish off with red lipstick and chomp away on bubble gum all night. Greasers will take notice.
Flash forward to the 70’s. Guys can dream big as Elvis. Practice some dance moves and carry a plastic microphone. If you’re brave you can karaoke like this. Select a black greaser wig. Fit it on tight as it could sail off when you perform those karaoke stage moves. Then you stick rock and roll sideburns on your cheeks. You know, the wide, long ones in the spirit of The King—God rest his soul. Get celebrity sunglasses with heavy gold frames. You’ll need to buy a white jumpsuit with rhinestones. Get some white boots as well…surely you don’t own a pair like that. Viva Las Vegas!
“Greetings earthlings.” is your script for Halloween night as you morph into a martian man or martian woman. Maybe martians are unisex. I don’t know. This is a simple costume to put together. Wear a gray or green bodysuit unitard. You can wear a camo canvas belt, military web belt or marine pistol belt. Wrap some green duct tape around your legs and arms. Wear a glow-necklace and gray or green greasepaint and wiggly martian antennas on your head. Moonboots would be good footwear. Take along an alien inflatable.

Pair Up
As a couple—a couple of what I can’t imagine—you can carry off a mini-theme with your costumes. Heck, take it on the road and become an act! Portray superheroes as Superman and Wonder Woman. Go as Spiderman and Catwoman. Okay, they may not exactly be pairs but they all wear tights or capes don’t they??
As a woman you could be a Hula Girl. Bring some extra leis to hand out. Also, in Hawaii Hakus (headband lei) and anklet leis are popular. They are commonly made of orchids or fresh ti leaves. Add a Hibiscus flower hair clip above your ear. You can purchase real Hawaiian leis delivered to you. Bust a move in a coconut bra or soft foam seashell bra. Get an inexpensive, natural raffia hula skirt—please, not the plastic variety. All this gives you an excuse to accessorize with frozen Blue Hawaiian cocktails! Ukulele is optional.
As a man, you too can create a pretext for sipping lots of tropical drinks. Your pretext is in the form 
of the Macho Maui Man. He is the middle-aged tourist who loves to sport the attire of the locals, yet still retains his touristy demeanor. Break out your flip-flops and dress in a matching tropical print shirt and shorts. Spray on too much dark spray tan and smear red rouge on your face as your sunburn…I’m laughing already! Wear some dark shades and a men’s straw shade hat, or worse, a beachcomber hat. Wrap a Hibiscus print bandana around your head and carry an inflatable flamingo or beach ball. This should attract—or repel—the Honolulu honeys!
Who doesn’t love a Pirate? You have the opportunity to go all out to perfect this costume. If you already have gold-plated teeth you’re ahead of the game. You must have a tri-corner hat to pull this off. It is a black hat edged in gold or with red fur. Underneath it you wear a red pirate scarf along with long, dark hair. Don’t forget your eye patch if you are a particularly tough buccaneer. Wear a white satin lace-up shirt with ruffles. Over this goes a black vest with gold embroidery or the knee-length frock coat. Either way you’ll look like Captain Jack; and the ladies love him! Striped breeches that fit loose and flowy are worn with brown or black pirate boots. Wear a suede pirate belt, which will hold your fancy Corsair sword with a basket hilt. Carry a pistol in a holster too. Adorn it all with Davy Jones skeleton keys and gold rings. Attach a bag for booty filled with gold coins and allow your stuffed parrot to sit proud on your shoulder.
Who loves Galley Wenches? Those swashbuckling sea dogs that’s who! A proper wench always has a head full of thick hair in tight curls. It’s called a tavern wench wig. The skirt is just over knee-length and made of two independent layers hanging full and uneven at the bottom. You can wear a beautiful, velour lady pirate jacket in rich jewel colors. It has long sleeves and a formal, fitted style to it. Instead, you can wear a corset with boning for shape or a bodice with a ruffled chemise shirt or peasant blouse. Add a satin sash or head bandana. Black high-heeled boots with brass buckles would look authentic. Last, carry around a pewter tankard full of brew. I said it was okay!
