A friend and I are going to be these lil guys. Costume’s are almost done, they are silly as hell.
The last costume I did years ago was somewhat-sexy bowser and it ruled. I somehow came across a plastic Ninja Turtles shell with straps that probably came from a costume at a thrift store. I spray painted it and made the spikes and everything, I still have that thing because it came out so good
One time I dressed up as The Crow, like OG movie crow. Practiced for days on the makeup, learned how to use liquid latex and some toilet paper to make fake bullet wounds, wrapped myself up in some black duct tape (which was hot as hell and SUCKED to take off lol) and got some black clothes. Lost in a costume contest to a dude in a blue shirt and premade Steve from Minecraft helmet and I’m still mad about it
I would have drunkenly booed him on your behalf, that’s BULLSHIT
THANK YOU, would have made the loss feel so much better lol
That happened to me in a costume contest in school. I spent hours making my costume look great, everything made from scratch, and I lost to some guy wearing a werewolf mask
That might’ve been the last year I put that much effort into a costume lol
It’s the WORST, I for sure haven’t put that much effort in since. Looking back though it was at least fun putting it together and getting to wear it. Plus my kid’s old enough we’ll have fun making some kick ass costumes together.
