Date: 2009-10-31 11:38 pm (UTC)So, I could be a pirate, because I have an eye patch, a decent white blousy shirt, and a vest. When I put it together with dark pants, it reads as a pirate pretty well. But I'm kind of tired of being a pirate. I looked on the web for ideas for an easy costume based on stuff you already have. I rejected "gypsy" because even if I could do it (I probably could) the idea of dressing up as the stereotype of a traditionally oppressed group somehow seemed in bad taste. (Although it did lead to the thought and the suggestion from friends that I could go as a Jew for Halloween... but that's not a ~costume~.) Pirate actually gives me some issues too, because of real world pirates.
So, I finally decided that since I have a red hoody jacket, I could do a passable modern Little Red Riding Hood. It's not ultra-sexy (nice, old-fashioned white shirt that looks really appropriate, red hoody, and skirt), but it is clearly girly. On the other hand, Little Red is one of the very few female fairy tale characters who rescues herself (in at least one version). Not that anyone will know that, of course.
At least I'm not a princess (which I could do). The only other costume I could do well is to go as a toddler since I already own comfy footy pyjamas (for lounging around in) and if I wear those and hold a blanky, it'd probably work pretty well. But I worried that being an adult giving out candy to kids and dressed as a toddler and just in pjs might be a little creepy.
But I don't look like I should be soliciting.
