Making your own hand-made Halloween costume this year? Check out the Etsy costume-a-thon competition. With 18 prizes totalling $2000 worth of Etsy gift certificates, donations, goodies and more, you can enter in the following six categories: Pet, Kid & Baby, T-Shirt Costume, Sci-Fi, Green, and General Awesomeness!I hadn't been planning to make a costume (and honestly probably won't anyway, what with lack of time and all) but if you are feeling ghoulishly crafty, try your luck! At the least you'll end up with an original handmade costume and hopefully scads of sweet, sweet candy.
An aside... Just remember - despite what low-rent online costume catalogs will have you believe, adding "sexy" in front of anything else isn't really a good costume (see: sexy firefighter, sexy pirate, sexy bee). Dressing like a tramp really isn't much of a costume! Unless by tramp you mean hobo, and even still, it's been done. ;-)

How about that sexy pirate costume ...but actually I was looking for a guy!
Yeah it's weird how all of the "sexy" costumes are women? What ever happened to womans lib?
What they really need is the "sexy city worker" costume, with authentic sewer smells and surly attitude. That would be more realistic!
The men's costumes (I never thought to check!) are pretty icky - and not really sexy-icky, just plain stupid and gross... Most of which include a full set of pants and coats - I mean the firefighter one looks like a real uniform (sort of - it's probably flammable!)... ;-)

Ummm so I think I need to find a costume this year... any ideas? And just to clarify, I'm not looking for the 'sexy' variety.
You had better not shop online then! I think it's sick that the women's costumes assume that everyone wants to be a)trashy and b)freezing!!
You could be a turtle! Green leggings & a green long-sleeved tee, and then you could fashion a turtle shell out of a stuffed green plastic bag or pillowcase and wear that over your body! At least you'll be warm! ;-)
Oh and get a bowler hat - turtles love those. And a red neckerchief.
Oh jas I thought of another one if you come back to read this!! You can get a neon green afro wig and a little bird from the craft store. Wear brown from head to toe, the green wig and put the bird in the wig. Voila - a tree!!
LOL!!! Oh golly gee Randi, no one will want to ever acknowledge that I'm their friend if I wear the turtle suit... but the tree idea with a brown spandex body suit might be perfect!!
Any brown outfit would do! Just stand with your arms all weird at times (branches). :-)
