The boss is holding a manadatory Halloween Costume Party. What costume will you choose and why?

I won't choose a costume. I'll just go in regular street clothes and   dye my hair.

Jeremy, 13

I go as a plaintiff, there's just something wrong about a mandatory  party.

Alias Irrelevante

The thing is that what I'm wearing on Halloween is all planned, so everybody at work will get to see it. . .I'm wearing the same thing all day, from work at 8:30 in the morning to the Dracula ballet, which starts at 7:30 that night. I'll probably put pictures on my website when I have them.

Probably a neoclassical rendition of justice or liberty.

Felicia, 34

I'd be a fortune teller with trailing scarves, dangling earrings and a deck of tarot cards.

the boss eh, i'd go as him. he'd get a kick outta that. mandatory party?  that's weird

Last night I came in 1st place for my costume I made as "Bill on  Capitol  Hill"!
Now I'm a LAW!!!!!

Evil. long black skirt, big black boots, ritual style shirt, big black  cloak, white base, upside down pentagram on forehead. Why? Same costume I always wear, and maybe it won't be mandatory next time

Him. With a fake hatchet stuck into your frontal lobe. And your paycheck glued to your chest with a question mark on it in red ink.

Anthony, 25

A nun. But considering I work at a Catholic High School that has a nun for a principal, that might not be such a good idea. My second choice would be Marilyn Monroe. It would be fun to be slutty and glamorous!

Susan, 31

A goth, because whilst they can be scary they're very cool, and it  would  also be quite easy and inexpensive to get everything I need.

Shanna, 15
Cardiff   ENGLAND

I would be a Leprechaun because I'm Irish.

Melodi, 19
Hlliard
, OH    USA

I would wear a clown costume because it has been an absolute circus at my office lately.

Tina, 31
Medford
, MA   USA

probably a witch cos it is the easiest to do

Jade, 16

I would want to dress up as Ash of Pokemon fame, but only because I could then dress up my 6-week-old baby up as Pikachu. That would be too cute.

Jesse, 24

something related to Halloween such as a vampire, frankenstein , a witch...you the idea.

Stephanie, 24
TX   USA

I guess I would go as The Undertaker.

Mick, 30

Whenever people ask me what celebrity I look most like, I usually answer Audrey Hepburn. This year for Halloween I'm going as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I tend to be quite a practical individual (goes right along with my astrological sign of Taurus) and I have always thought that I would like to dress as a clown because I could sew a clown costume that would be large enough to cover my regular clothes and in case it got cold, I could always wear a coat or sweater underneath. I'd wear a funny, multi-colored wig, and lots of makeup.

Reba, 50
ockville

I'd borrow Harry Potter's invisibility cloak, so that I could very rapidly disappear.

Jane, 60
West Linn
, OR   USA

I'd probably just buy some devil horns, wear a red & black outfit, and a little more make-up.

Dianne E., 16

The most sexist costume I can find.

Savannah

I recently picked up a used Halloween costume for about $10 -- a VERY pink and poufy fairy-tale princess dress. It also looks exactly like the dress that was featured in an episode of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER when the cast dressed up for Halloween, but their costumes were cursed or something, so they turned into whatever they dressed up as. This  was Buffy's costume, so she spent half the episode flouncing about looking for her coach and saying that she hoped to marry a baron someday. ...Also, the only other option I have for "last-minute costume" is a sort of "Arabian Nights" slave girl thing, and that would not be appropriate for something with the boss.

Kim, 30

Something easy, simple, and comfortable...I'm sitting here in a witch costume right now and can't really feel that I have it on. That's my kind of costume!!

Tracy, 24
Ocean City

i find an "emergency" that allows me to skip because i dont want to spend time with people i cant stand anyway.

Steve, 29

This year I think I'd be Pikatchu from the Pokemon cartoon line. . .It's a little five minutes ago, but I think it still would be kinda fun and cute. .

mothmc, 36

If the party was during working hours, I'd go in pj's and carry an alarm clock with me - always reading 6 a.m. - I'd yawn the whole while and have my eyes half closed...since this is pretty much how I feel most days! If it was an after-hours party - I'd dress and act as much like the boss as possible...to show him/her what's it's like being around them all the time.

The English Teacher From Hell (tm). I think it just explains itself.

Amy, 23

A drug addict/rockstar. thats what i was for halloween this year and it was a lot of fun.

Karen2, 14
Boston

I always dress in a long black robe, rope belt with a hood, white/green makeup on my face, balck sunken in eyes. Why? I like to wear black.
