2 years ago, I dressed in a suit and tie and entered the company costume contest as "a respectable adult"

They disqualified me claiming that wasn't a legitimate costume. Both my manager and the site manager both claimed foul and told the judges that they didn't know who/what they were talking about.

The HR manager stuck to her guns and one of the guys in her office won. Costumes were banned from the site due to that.

Stormtrooper armor in the first movie (now called episode 4) was a rush job. The original molds and suits were all lost in a burnt ware house just a few days before shooting scenes with stormtroopers in them. The guys who were in charge rebuilt the molds and made hundreds of suits in a rush then trained them all in a day how to assemble and wear the armor. Tons of guys made mistakes and forgot certain various parts of armor. You can see missing parts if you watch the movie and pause in up close scenes.

How about the stormtrooper who smacks his head on the doorway? Can't blame that one on the costumes!

Personally owning a suit, I can back up the "excuse" that it is hard to see in the suit. You cant see anything below your eyes or above. Just straight ahead and that's it.

Seems like the Empire needs to rethink some things, no wonder they lost the war.

KRUSTYburger · Post by **KRUSTYburger** » Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:53 am

I was a storm trooper a couple years back for Halloween, I made the helmet and arm/hand guards myself out of cardboard.
It was actually very elaborate. I wish I had a pic. I painted an old Nintendo zapper to look like a blaster they might have used.
Pretty much the body part of the costume was just a white shirt and jeans.

Did I mention I made it in one night?! That's usually what ends up happening every year.

I'll mix it all up here:

That's me at the end in the orange ... Now the name makes a bit more sense, right?

Gorilla masks have very limited visibility. And we rode in the Halloween parade like that.

Alright... I'll jump in...

A few of us did the darker/kink side of Alice in Wonderland. If you can't figure it out, I'm the Cheshire Cat... with the Duchess and her pig-baby

I'm dressing up as a VISA bill. Will scare the pants off everyone! Seriously, I am dressing up in my cycle garb with a glowstick strapped to my facemask but marked off as eyeballs that glow, with paper hanging out my wrists and neck, looking like a crash dummy and laying on the grass in the front yard. Will growl when the kiddies show up! Then steal all their candy! Hooray.

Orange Guy · Post by **Orange Guy** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:06 am

I think I have everything for my costume ... greenish brown henly, green cargo pants, welder's face shield, leather gloves, butcher's apron and a roll of duct tape.

maribell · Post by **maribell** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 6:56 am

I am going to make myself a tutu to wear. So I can be a princess. Or a ballerina.

Orange Guy · Post by **Orange Guy** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 12:05 pm

Gonna wear your tutu when ya ride your bubu?

jfrost2 · Post by **jfrost2** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 5:27 pm

Here's a real photo of me test fitting my suit for tomorrow night. Making sure everything is still ok so it doesnt break and fall apart on me randomly. Seems to be better after I trimmed it some more and replaced old straps with new ones.

I forgot to wear the hand guards before I took the photo.

Skootz Kabootz · Post by **Skootz Kabootz** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 7:29 pm

I think next year we should organize Halloween scooter rally's all over the country and scoot around the neighborhoods of our respective cities handing out candy to all the kids everywhere we go...

I just finished my spooky jack-o-lantern. I'm straping it to the Buddy rear rack for our ride tomorrow.

jfrost2 · Post by **jfrost2** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 11:40 pm

You see jack-o-lantern led light kits? It's a genius idea. Tea lights get blown out all the time from wind and rain on halloween, led lights will stay constant until they run out of batteries (whenever they do, they last forever!)

KRUSTYburger · Post by **KRUSTYburger** » Sat Oct 31, 2009 1:07 am

It's just got a cheap LED "dot-it" tap light. I wanted to hook up a red light that would come on with my brake lights, but no time.

Thanks for reminding me, taking off half a suit of armor to pee for 30 seconds isnt fun. I'll use the restroom before I leave and suit up tomorrow.
