Me as the fabulous Divine...
I was Cherry Darling and he was Stuntman Mike from Grindhouse. I bought a toy gun, sawed off the stem and spray painted it black. I realized it was a bad idea to tie my leg back, so I had a black stocking on my leg with the gun, and I wrapped gauze around the stem of the gun and my leg.

We couldn't find a jacket or patches for Stuntman Mike, so I found a good place to pause the move so I could replicate each patch on Photoshop. I printed it on canvas and sewed them on. We found some good scar liquid, too.
This is me as Mia Wallace...od style! xxx

i was coulubia from the rocky horror picture show, which i dress up to go see it live. not the greatest pic but my full body one is blurry and far away.
This year I decided it'd be fun to be a bearded lady. I made the beard, hat, and stole and wore them with some vintage clothes and jewelry.
This is me, as the Queen from the Terry Gilliam flick a couple of years back, The Brothers Grimm.

All handmade: hand-drafted patterns, hand beaded (2,000 + beads), handmade hairpieces, handmade organza ruffle trim, belt, headpiece...and even those crazy earhooks!

It took a long time to make, but the cost for supplies? Thanks to my uber-thriftiness and love of DIY to save money and learn as much as possible-- about $80. Happy
This is me as Little Apple Doll 'Circe'.
zombie nurse! i think i bit everyone at the party that year...
Me kickin ass as Chun Li...need I say more?
me as divine <3
This is me last year....I think I was a punk rock dead hooker. I wore some Pleather pants and a black tube top with pink feathers on it....
This is my queen of hearts costume that I made from scratch (except for the shoes and petticoat underneath.)

I wore it for two years in a row because it took me so long to make! Have you ever tried to find heart-patterned things in the Fall? Near impossible!
dead wife and husband ... obviously im the petit weird husband haha...

^^
I was a zombie police officer last Halloween! It was a lot of fun! I just threw it together last minute, and it ended up being one of my favorite costumes ever!

school girl me
I was Harry Potter (a sexy, girlier version) with fishnets and a miniskirt to boot! The man in the photo with me tried to get frisky so I decided to cast an evil spell on him ;)
This is me as a frozen dead bride. It included a long velvet dress and dead flowers. Its not the best picture of it, but its the only one I have.
This is me as Marie Antoinette last year! Happy
This is me as Broccoli Girl!!! and my mate as cavegirl. I choose to be broccoli as it's my absolutely favourite vegetable, some people however find it disguisting. Also i decided to make it into a superhero type outfit, as broccoli raw is meant to be a mild aphrodisaic or so i read somewhere, oh and i knew no-one would have the same costume as me. Check out the floret mask. Happy
This is me as Princess Peach, accompanied by Mario, of course ;-)
