I adore Halloween. Beyond reason. I love costuming, dressing up, wearing silly make up, etc. I love it even more when I have a costume party to go to. I'm fortunate enough that one of my best friends here loves Halloween a little more than I do and is having a full blown costume party this year! I've been struggling since early spring on what to dress up as for this years party. We are a couple, so we'd like to keep it to couples costumes.
Her last party, we went and bought some obnoxious Hawaiian print shirts and tore them up, bloodied them up and then turned ourselves into Tourist Zombies. And let's keep it real....that only happened because I procrastinated and it was a quick/easy costume to come up with the day before. This year, I'm going to actually put thought into it.
At first I was thinking Ms. Argentina and Beetlejuice (from the movie of the same name....duh). Then I remember that I live in a place that is ridiculously hot and humid as hell, clear into November. We will be outside for a majority of this party, and Ms. Argentina requires a LOT of body paint.
Now, because Scott and I are both big super hero nerds (his nerdness runs deep, like into comic book history deep....I'm just a fan of hot boys, in tight clothes, in movies with a lot of explosions), I'm thinking that we go as Harley Quinn and the Joker, from the new version, The Suicide Squad. They changed Harley quite a bit, taking her from a pure harlequin clown (white face, black mask, clown costume) as in the comic books to a softer version of the character, without the clown costume and harlequin aspect. I dig this new version of Harley, so maybe. Plus, she isn't a full body paint costume, so there's that.
I just don't know what to do. And Halloween is rapidly approaching. Whatever we do will require some thrifting for costume pieces and that can take a while!
Suggestions?
