2025's costume: The Pigeon Lady from Home Alone 2

I converted dove decoys into pigeons with acrylic paint and gave out bags of bird seed along with my candy and potatoes. But my favorite part of the night was the kid who dressed as a pigeon getting excited that they found the pigeon lady!

halloween ‘bit’ advice

this one’s for my rave ppl but if you have ideas please lmk! i need some advice on some fun things to write up for my halloween bit at a rave i'm going to. i decided to be a traffic cone and have a friend 3D printing these lil cones to pass out and then give orange paper 'violations' or 'hazards' to give my fellow ravers for halloween dressed up!
don't worry im working on fixing the rave cone to be a hat and glueing a circular wire for the bottom so its better cone shaped.
but for the traffic cone bit i was even thinking i could make it a fun way to approach someone im interested in and leave my number for them?? i'm just trying to spread some fun, please give me some fun ideas, im open to a little bit of a project too!☺️

so far i've only come up with:
"you can't park there"
"violation too lit"

Wetland themed costume?

A workplace costume contest has a Wetlands theme (workplace of environmental science folks) and I'm struggling to come up with something! Any creative ideas?

Currently leaning towards an "I fell in" approach if nothing else.

Need costume recs!!

Theme : Saturday Night Live

Most of the party-goers are in their forties so we want to be relatable to that age group.

My husband and I typically go for humor. One year we were white chicks, another year he was Snow White and I was the evil witch. That same year he was Miss piggie while I was Kermit. And that’s just to name a few

He has stated he doesn’t want to cross dress this year so that’s the only stipulation. I’m more than happy to cross dress, however.

I'm single for the first time in 6 years and I don't have a lot of friends. I want to wear the cuntiest, extra Halloween costume this year.

Yeah, I'm not doing great. But I'm planning on Halloween being better. I have booked a hotel room in the city I love, I have tickets to a bar crawl, and zero plans to be sober.

I want an extremely cool costume that turns everyone's head. I want it to be so cool, people can't resist coming up to me and talking to me. I want to show as much skin as possible, but I do get cold very easily (even while drunk... I wish liquid jackets worked). I'm also pretty skinny and have no tits and barely any ass, so i don't really have goodies to display. I'd also like to wear a corset for those couple of reasons, plus I've never worn one so I want to.

Also my hair: Very long and thick, but the top half is light brown rn and the bottom half blonde. I'm thinking about dying the blonde part pink or purple perhaps. Then again, I usuallu regret dying my hair within a week. I'm not open to a wig, I love my hair. I can do crazy shit to it though.

Here's some ideas I've had so far, but I'm not sold on any of them yet. I'm still open to other suggestions!

  • Weed Fairy/A Fairy (I'm a budtender, but I don't look good in green so I kinda don't want to do this one anymore. I was thinking maybe doing it in purple bc weed is sometimes a little purple, or just do a regular fairy but that's kinda basic and I wanna be extra)
  • Strawberry Shortcake. Unclear if I'd dye my hair pink with this. But it's sooo cute!
  • Cupid. I feel like I'm stealing this idea from my old roommate (She was this a couple of years ago and it was a good one). But I could have cute wings and a sparkly red corset and tutu.
  • Little red riding hood. I feel like this is the least effort and warmest, because the costume is pretty much premade, plus a hood provides warmth. I still feel it's too basic.
  • Pink Disco Devil. I apologize for this, but that idea was from ChatGPT (I don't recommend wasting the water to use it to help find a costume. It didn't do good). But sparkly pink corset and skirt, and pink sparkly devil horns and pitchfork. Very eye catching, but I kinda don't want to be a devil. But like, the point of this is it'd be so sparkly I'd outshine a disco ball.

Again, I am open to other ideas, but so far I'm uninspired. I also don't like to reuse costumes, and some previous ones have been Barbie, Starfire, Princess Peach, a pirate. Especially not Barbie, I reused that one a few years in a row (even though it was one of my favs).

How to make a wearable campfire

My toddler has said he wants to be a campfire for Halloween. I have many ideas, just not sure how to go about them? I am not super crafty, but my husband is handy and can make anything.

I have considered cellophane potentially around a hoola hoop (with suspenders of some sort) with maybe a little fan built in? Fairy lights? Or maybe just a good old box with pool noodles for logs. Just looking for others’ creative ideas here, thanks!!
