    Anyone dressing up for halloween at work on Friday?

    I've been doing this 50 years now and no one has gotten wise to me yet!

    A couple of years ago, I dressed as a Volkswalker (ava.org - it's non competitive walking).

    Basically, I work jeans and a Tshirt (I did wear one that was volkswalking oriented) and I brought my fanny pack (that I take with me on the walks).

    I used it as an excuse to wear jeans to work :p

    Wink I throw some . . . .

    non Rx Wildfire contacts under my best black glasses. Wear a black shirt with a tie that has skulls and spiders on it. It also plays spooky music! I go with the white grease paint and a little fake blood leaking out the corner of my mouth. I complete it with a fine set of fangs. Just another day in the office!

    We have trick-or-treaters coming to the downtown businesses on Friday...I don't want to scare any of the little ones, so no costume for me, but I'll be all "Halloween'd Up"...Halloween shirt, orange and black striped socks, bat earrings...you know...the usual! :D

    If I could, I'd wear my floor-length black linen skirt, black and silver steel boned corset, black devil horns and my 5" heels. However, I work in the lab so no one but my old, horny male coworkers would see me. I am the youngest person in the building, younger than the owner's son/coowner/my boyfriend by 8 years (of course I wouldn't mind dressing up for him--I do it all the time ;)). I also don't think I would be able to make it more than 2 hours before the heels would be coming off and the corset laces being loosened! :bbg:

    Considering my employers never let their kids participate in Halloween stuff do to it being a "devil's holiday" I seriously doubt I will be able to get by wearing a costume. I might wear black and orange with a fun headband/earrings..

    If you're female you could dress up like Sarah Palin...hair up, big glasses, executive style skirt/suit, Tina Fey accent. I guess you could do it if you were male also...but I wouldn't want to see it.

    Actually that is my costume for a neighborhood party on saturday. I don't dress up at work (too uncomfortable all day) but last year we went to a furniture store on Halloween and bought a mattress set from Frankenstein's monster. That was different.

    What I found at Wally World..

    Are these cute slippers, they are orange and have one big eye on each foot, with one red horn sticking up one each foot, like a one eyed syclops. IM' wearing those with a Holloween sweater. WoW, bed slippers and jeans to work, it can't get any better than that...:cheers:

    I tried that for a few years, but I wasn't very believable.

    Now I just masquarade as a frame stylist.

    I hope nobody plans on making a 'spectacle' of themselves this Halloween.
