See, I am always torn on this one. I am a classic "dress up" person for Halloween but the irony is that now that I'm a teacher, many times it's frowned upon, although that day all your students dress up! LOL. So this year I'm thinking about dressing up for party day, but I don't know what to dress up as.

It has to be something versatile enough to withstand a full day of teaching though and not itchy or too heavy. The school that I teach at now is awesome and I don't think it would be outside the realm of acceptability to dress up. Plus I am the music teacher, and everyone knows I'm crazy anyway, so there you go.

I already know students have said they will be.... A Goth fairy... and Sponge Bob. That's about it so far.... LOL.

Haven't thought much about it. . . I'll probably just sit at home on Halloween. But if I have to dress up, like if I'm told I need to give out candy or whatever. . . I dunno. Something in the theme of black and white? I really need to think about it, I suppose.

Bride of Frankenstein.

I've done more original costumes (went as a Freudian Slip one year, bag of red hots one year, and various others), but I wanted something warm I could throw an overcoat on top of and people would still 'get it'.

It's COLD here at Halloween. Usually hovering just above/below freezing and rainy/sleety to boot.

Catholic school girl gone bad (although isn't that all of them?)
It's the same costume I wore last year in New Orleans..
Only this year I have a baby to carry around to complete the outfit.

heh, catholic girls.

If I had time to dress up I'd totally get a blue button shirt, some brown slacks, lop of my left hand at the wrist & attach a chainsaw, & find a BOOMSTICK! ... but alas, I'm 95% positive I'm gonna have to close the retail store I work at.

And for you, Erdster... Being that you're a music teacher I think your costume should have something to do with music & since you're a lady that gives you the option to dress as one of the most frightening Horrors (or perhaps the same word spelt with a "Wh") known to man... Courtney Love!!!!!

So what did the costume look like - the Freudian Slip one? I'm curious - pictures would help

I think it definitely should be music related - but maybe a character from a musical - maybe like one of the princesses from a fairy tale? Take into account what age level your students are - maybe a musical character you are covering in your classes??

Just some suggestions,

yo HO yo HO a pirates life for meee..

I think, if the budget allows, Erda should dress up as Mozart, right down to the wig. If budget is tight, dress up as a greek muse, like.. um.. Euterpe. (sp?) Toga, laurell wreath and a flute. Voila!
I have a feeling Jr will be going for Spiderman as his first Halloween costume... although he has his own language, and would call it Pizer man.
Erda Rocks.

I'm gonna be a Zombie Elvis.
This King's not dead... he's bleeping Undead, baby!

It consisted of a slip (the one that wears like a mini-dress, not the one like a skirt) with little nametags stuck onto it (all over) with sayings on them that could be counted as freudian slips (not all can I print here - filter). Use your imagination.

Teenagers hate coming to our door and getting me - cause I won't give out candy unless you're in costume. I mean you can say you're a serial killer "They look like everyone else", but you gotta say you're something - or no candy from me.

I am currently searching through the game "dead rising" and trying to find a suitable outfit. Then I will be taking my louiville slugger some fake blood splatter and my old fashioned camera and call myself Frank West, reporter/zombie slayer extraordinaire.

I can really see Scarsgaard sporting this baby: Yo

No dressing up for me. A costume would bite too heavily into my ramen budget.

I suppose I could grow a beard, wear a bathrobe, and say I'm Jesus. But I don't think that will go over too well with the Mormons.
