New Poll! Who should I be for Halloween? Here are the pros and cons:
Hermione: As I’m dressing as Hermione for the Harry Potter premiere, I’d be able to use this costume twice. Helpful.
A random Jedi: I was a Jedi two years ago, so I still have the general costume assembled. I think I’d try to find a black robe instead of a gray robe, though. Wow, my gray robe is cool. But I could probably use a slightly edited black robe for wizard robes, which would be part of a Hermione costume. Hmmm….
Angua: This would be rather fun. No one would know who I was, but I’m used to that. I’ve had to explain my costumes nearly every year since the second grade. It would probably be the most fun, but it would also be by far the most difficult to assemble, and I’m not sure if I have the time, what with JETS and 10 Little Indians. Of course, now that I have a driver’s license and actually know how to use a sewing machine, it would probably be less time consuming than I expected.
Moaning Myrtle: The costume would most likely be almost identical to Hermione’s, that is unless I go for the full ghost effect and wear white with ghosty makeup. And of course, this is a costume that would require lots of explanation, and if it came down to that, I’d just rather do Angua, as I’d have to start from scratch with both.
Leia: Fairly easy. I just have to find someone who braids really well and go with the cool Hoth hairstyle, as my hair isn’t thick enough to support the cinnabuns. Of course, I could always get a couple of hair extensions at a costume shop somewhere, which would be really helpful for any of my future cosplaying exploits. And I’d still need a white dress.
In case you cared, last year I was Arthur Dent (costume took roughly 5 minutes to assemble. Bathrobe, fuzzy slippers, jammies, and a towel), 9th grade I was a random Jedi, 8th grade I was Mulder (my friend Rachel was Scully), and I can’t remember before that. Someone would have to remind me. ::wrinkles nose::
