Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!

I only had one costume this year...but it was pretty awesome.  I was the Yellow Power Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!  The idea was originally created for a group of us to wear in a Halloween bike ride and then I reused my costume again for a Halloween party later in the month. 

We all bought spandex body suits and then heat-pressed the vinyl diamonds on ourselves. The Yellow Power Ranger doesn't have a skirt like the Pink Power Ranger because she was originally a male character in the Japanese show, so I hunted down some yellow shorts so I didn't feel so exposed.  Unfortunately, the males in our groups were not as concerned about that as me...so I apologize for the male bulge/s below. ;p

(I also apologize for the wide variety of sizes. I'm pulling these image from a lot of different sources and am being a lazy blogger and not making them all the same size)

 

 

 

 

Please note my one finger that is exposed so I could use my phone. haha

 

 

Then I just removed that glove completely so I could eat food without it getting all gross. yeah-classy!

My Halloween Adventures

I hope everyone had a great Halloween!  Monday I was in class all day so we used the weekend to celebrate my favorite of holidays! :D


Friday:
Every quarter there is a party for the 1st quarters put on by the 2nd quarters.  I'm a 2nd quarter so we decided to pair up with a Halloween party upper quarters were already hosting. [there is only 4 of us in 2nd quarter and like 25+ first quarters so it helped take some of the stress out for us] :D


I went with a creepy ventriloquist doll.  I didn't have the money [or time] to make a new costume so I just hodgepodge'd costumes from things I already had for both events I went to. Matt finally got to take his creepy mask out for a spin and people either loved it or were completely terrified.  excellent.

2nd quarter!

Saturday:
We went to a Halloween event at the High Museum of Art. We got to see the Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso exhibit they have right now--pretty awesome!
 I was just a different version of a creepy doll. I just really liked having intense eyebrows and a tiny mouth?  I ended up putting the baby head on though at the end of the night because it's too fun. haha ;D

Our friend Mark made his Big Boy costume in like 2 seconds.  impressive

There was this great art piece with all these angled mirrors. I wish I had caught the artist's name.

You can't hear very well in that mask, so I thought he was just taking a photo at first. :x

my makeup stayed on pretty well!

Oh! Here is our pumpkin we carved too.  I had no idea green pumpkins were so thick so we had to scrap our original idea and just went with this.  The baked seeds were delicious that came from this beast though. ;D

Past Halloween costumes

I unfortunately do not currently have access to costumes pictures further back from 2 years ago. Maybe next year I can dig up some childhood costumes. Although honestly, I don't really remember many. Up until I was 9 I went trick-or-treating at a local mall because I lived on a really busy street..so I don't really think my parents went all out on my costumes.  sad :\

2010 Costumes

I dressed us as Sugar Skulks!

 

I also decided to go to a Halloween party last minute so I whipped up a VooDoo Doll outfit.

This isn't a costume, but I really like the pumpkin we carved last year. ANGLERFISH!

2009 Costumes

We had a Halloween this party. I got so involved in decorating the house [sorry. no photos] that I kinda put my outfit on the back burner. I guess I was like a woodland sprite?

 

 Then this was for another Halloween party that same year. I was just a creepy doll :)

I really have no idea what I'll be dressing up as this year.  Any suggestions?
