Seen at the Skytrain Halloween Party on the Broadway Station platform, about which more later…but definitely the best costume out there. More than one group of tourists wanted to get their picture taken with him, although the men generally steered clear of him and pretended he didn’t exist…as they walked slowly by, turning beet red. I told him not to gesticulate too much, for then he lumped up and looked like he was going as “And this is your poontang on HPV”.
Second best was the fellow who dressed as The Son of Man, by Rene Magritte. Apparently, the party was full of art majors, because everyone got it, unlike the time I went as the Empire State Building. You’da thought the airplane deely bobbers and the monkey around my neck would have given it away, but no. Next time I hold the Barbie Doll too.

That outfit is crazy! I really like the costume of the apple in “I Now Pronounce You: Chuck & Larry”. If I can find that apple costume I am so getting it for next year!
This year I dressed up as a bunch of grapes, thanks to my sister’s seamstress skills, and received the most compliments I’ve ever had on a Halloween costume. There’s a lot to be said for dressing up as a bunch of ripe fruit because I got lots of {{{HUGs!}}}
P.S. This costume is a keeper. ;-)
At work, I took a turnip, placed it in a bowl and poured some grenadine in the bottom – I was an IRS agent.
Yes, I’m alive.
That ‘son of man’ pic always makes me think of ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’.
Great idea for the Empire State building, even sans Barbie doll.
IRS agent? me no getting it: have a visual for us comprehension-challenged types?
A friend of mine was a bunch of grapes one year, purple balloons on a bodystocking, but she couldn’t sit down all night without popping.
I think next year I’m stealing the idea at Manolobig.com and cutting a dress out of two Twister sheets, and making a hat out of the spinner. Should liven up the evening, I think.
If I am not mistaken, putting a flower or vegtable into a bowl of grenadine will make the subject turn red. Hense, “sucking the blood out of you” would be the analogy? I am not sure….
I love the vulva.
red fluid oozing from a turnip. internal revenue service – visual enough?
Oh, okay: bleeding it dry?
getting blood out of a turnip is the favorite colloquialism down this way
Ah, Southern metaphor. We need SG to translate, I think.
Some costumes actually get you noticed even by indifferent persons. The whackier, the better.
HAA-LLO-WIN!
not look bad……………. I love the vulva.
