and they were complete with the corresponding (fake) turtle weapons (of course).Ģ006: dog the bounty hunter and his wife beth the turtle costumes were great, and the garbage can lids on their backs made them (along with their turtle chests that i made at the last minute). i finished it off with a belt, socks over my shoes for boots and a homemade microphone.
after much searching i finally found a denim jumpsuit on ebay and dyed it yellow. this costume was a bit harder for me to put together, since there wasn’t much i could make. we had the four ninja turtles and three april o’neils. This year we went back to the university of illinois (my alma matter) for a tailgate, football game and halloween. i wish you could see beck’s dino costume better, it was adorable (i even added pipe cleaners for the hairs on his head).Ģ008: april o’neil & michelangelo from teenage mutant ninja turtles i made wilma’s necklace out of styrofoam balls and sewed all three costumes out of fleece, to help us stay warm (and fleece was on sale and cheap). louis one year and in chicago with a different crowd the other). loved them so much we wore them twice (since we were in st. I really loved these costumes and how they turned out. (i made the hats, my vest and the buttons of mario’s overalls.) my master plan included making the karts out of cardboard boxes, but ryan wasn’t having it so i didn’t put in the extra effort (they would have made the costumes though).Ģ007 & 2009: fred, wilma and dino flinstone i loved how they turned out – mario’s crooked mustache and all. There was supposed to be a whole group of mario kart-ers, but in the end it was just the two of us. I thought it would be fun (and slightly embarrassing) to revisit the last few years of costumes. to meet the cheap requirements, i usually make part or all of my costume – and ryan’s, since we are one of those dorky couples who do couples costumes. “well done” is subjective, but to me it means i give it my best try.
if i’m going to take the time to dress up and feel stupid, i better look good damn it (and not in a slutty way. i feel stupid dressing up, but i always feel worse not dressing up if others are… so i dress up. anyway…Īpart from the candy and carving pumpkins, halloween isn’t my favorite. which is crazy, because in no time it will be thanksgiving, and then christmas and then 2012.
