Vanity -- Help! I need unique couple costume ideas

self

[soccermom]

OK, I know this isn't the most urgent request. But I need to tap the creative juices of freepers. Do you have any suggestions for unique costume ideas for couples? I'm ususally creative, but this party came up at the last minute and I haven't a thing to wear! Ideas?

[soccermom]

Any suggestions are welcome!

I've never seen anyone dressed up as Tupperware.

[Uncle Sham]

Go as "envelopes" addressed to Tom Brokaw, etc postmarked Trenton, NJ. .

[OWK]

A really crass costume idea, might be to dress as a postman, with a bag full of powdery envelopes (which you could occasionally pat, creating a huge cloud of dust).

But I wouldn't suggest it.

[Carlucci]

Draw little dashed-lines all over your face and arms. If you can draw very small, make them look like tiny footprints.

Tell everyone that you have...

ANT TRACKS!

[soccermom]

Hee hee! Do you think it's OK to "capitalize" on that at this point? Someone else suggested we go as the Twin Towers, but I don't want to be in poor taste.

[soccermom]

Very cute!

[Silly]

Letterman once had a kid dressed as a stack of old National Geographic magazines.

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Dress up as yourself, only taller...

[AStack75]

Go as Osama bin Laden and Evil Bert.

[soccermom]

hee hee!

[princess leah]

Go as two tomahawk missiles: his and hers (his would be with Osama's name on the side)

Okay, we are going to use this one I think, but if we show up at the same party you have to admit it was my idea.

Get some wide white paper or big foamcore or poster board sheets. Make it like one of those old sandwich signs and staple or tape up the sides. Now if you look at it and use a little imagination you can make it look like an envelope. Address them to your host. Fake a stamp by getting a big picture cut from a magazine. Put on a cancelation stamp. On the one that you wear put a "POSTAGE DUE" or "INSUFFICANT POSTAGE" stamp. You will have to draw these with a big red magic marker or such.

Now when people ask, he is US Mail and you are FEE Male.

A macabre addition is sprinkle corn starch, baby powder, or baking soda over you and tell everyone it is anthrax.

From past experience, you cannot wear these to the party, but they do go on quick. You also have trouble sitting so wear comfortable shoes.

Anne Heche and her alien 'spirit' friend from the planet Celestia..

I was at a party once where a couple dressed as Life & Death. She was life, dressed in bright colors, with a lot of green, and flowers in her hair.

He was dressed as death, in black, with the kind of skull make-up you can buy in any drug store or grocery store this time of year.

Of course, if you're really pressed, I suggest that you just wear matching paper bags on your heads with holes cut out for eyes and mouth.

[Moleman]

Dress up in a rainbow wig, big sgoes, red nose and go as a liberal...

[4CJ]

A Sheik (guess who) and a beggar with a cup (Cynthia McKinney).

[joey'smom]

Go to Home Depot and buy a cheap toilet seat. Put it over your head. Have your partner dress all in brown. Voila! (I'm known for stupid, gross costumes.)

Great suggestions, but you're right. This is a party so I have to consider mobility.
