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.
"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." Hee hee! That's a running joke in out family. One year, my dad was stationed in Korea and my poor mom had 5 kids under the age of 10 to raise on her own. There was this cotume parade that I sprung on her at the last minute. (I was 5.) Anyway, she told me to go as a bag monster. I was soooooo traumatized. So when my kids get in trouble, I tell them I won't make their costumes and they can go as bag monsters.
