Anyone want an easy idea for a Halloween costume?

Locate in your home, tag sales, Goodwill etc. a plate made out of brass, or spray paint a plate with brass-colored paint.

Find a tan sweatshirt or long sleeved t-shirt and matching sweatpants. Cut two floppy dog ears out of construction paper and pin to each side of your head. Fashion a tail from an empty roll of wrapping paper that you twist and turn until it resembles a tail. Pin to back of sweat pants.

A real dog collar or bow around the neck looks cute too. Blacken your nose and draw whiskers on your cheeks.

Cut six holes in the front of your t-shirt or sweatshirt. Place the holes like this: Three rows of two parallel holes (approximately 8 inches apart), starting at your upper chest. Do not make these holes very big. Make them about the size of a dime.

From inside the shirt, poke baby-bottle nipples through the holes. Secure to the back of the shirt with tape. Grab your plate and off you go to the party!

If someone asks you what you are, say “A Brass-plated, Bitch”.

(That's the kind of mood I'm in today. Tres bitchy and for no good reason!)

I agree. although I have reason. Don't you LOVE when three women in the office get together and whisper and stop any time you appear to be near enough to hear? Yeah. Gotta loooove being talked about. Sign me up for that costume.

E --I once said to a similar group: I know what you're doing...you're planning a surprise party for me otherwise why would you stop talking each time I came by! (they snarled but I had a chuckle...I love to confront the behavior!)

I am a funny mean old bitch today - don't know why I'm in such a foul mood, maybe because I'm defrosting chicken...

I have those days WAY too frequently M, where I have no good reason to feel foul but I do.

Hopefully yours will pass soon.

JDJ, with a gorgeous eye like you have...you cold find that femal accessory easily!

I would really like to win the NJ lottery ~ heard it was 108 million and for a fleeting second I thought, it's your chance! pfft.

Love it! I must do this some year. I'll remember this.

(This year i'm a 'Naughty Nurse') :P

Yet another reason to be annoyed at the not-winningness: Rich people should be exempt from the lottery. Okay, I wouldn't say that if I were rich, but y'know... I'm SO not.

If one of us had won the lottery we could have felt that there was hope for the others!

Wenig - would love to see you as naughty nurse...can you post a photo?

Echrai...absolutely -- if you make over a certain amount you should have to donate half your winnings to a a good cause rather than the government.

I couldn't find the Naughty Nurse costume. Very disappointed.

But i did find a very short, pink, pleather Go-Go dress with white pleather boots and a white pleather hat.

I'll post THAT photo. :D
