Halloween was fun as a kid, but since then I’ve never had much interest, and dressing up seems like more of a production than it’s worth. But if by chance someone were to bop me over the head and knock some Halloween fever into me, these are the characters I’d think about dressing up as.
She-Ra Princess of Power, the alter ego of Princess Arora, and He-Man’s sister. Damn the 80’s were a wonderful thing.
Sticking with the 80’s theme, we’ve got Jem and the Holograms. Because who wouldn’t want to be a rock star with massive pink hair?
A rainbow unicorn – really, no explanation required
Ok maybe I don’t actually want to be on fire, but the phoenix wings look pretty darn cool.
I sometimes feel like the human version of grumpy cat, so why not?
This ugly little critter is a hairless guinea pig, also known as a skinny pig. They look kind of like a dwarf hippopotomus. This is pretty much what my beautiful little babies look like under their mops of hair.
What would be your fantasy Halloween costume?

and na na na
have fun!
Rainbow unicorn, grumpy cat and a skinny pig all sound good to me
😄
Hahahah I’d love to see you as the hairless guinea pig, that would be hilarious! xx
I could also “dress up” my guinea pigs like hairless pigs by shaving their hair – but they might hate me forever…
Hahahah yes I think they would hate you forever for that, don’t get on their bad side, you never know how they’d exact their revenge when you least expect it! xx
lol
All of these are fun, but the grumpy cat idea is my fave!
I love it too!
Love the rainbow unicorn. 😂 I don’t get into costumes but I throw an awesome party every year for my kids. Each year I plan a murder mystery. This year I added a haunted graveyard/maze. Scaring kids is so much better than wearing uncomfortable clothes!!! 😂
Murder mystery sounds like a fabulous idea
Sooo fun!
OMG, I love this blog post! It leaves me wanting more!! You’re right–rainbow unicorn needs no explanation!!
I loved She-Ra too!! But He-Man was my fave! HA HA HAH AHA. I have no idea why. I liked Skeletor too and used to play with my brother’s Skeletor castle toys. GRUMPY CAT!! I LOVE GRUMPY CAT!!
Good old Skeletor, the lovable bad guy!
You played with He-Man because his castle was cooler and he had more toys. The girl-toy struggle was real back then. Anyone remember Get in Shape Girl?
No, I don’t remember her! 😮
I had to Google it to refresh my memory, but yes!
This year I am a gumball machine. It’s the first time I’ve really dressed up in quite awhile. I love the idea of being grumpy cat.
Oh that sounds fun!
I don’t do halloween at all but love dressing up and costuming was a big part of a former hobby, however there are times when it’s all too much trouble. Laziest costume so far was borrowing scrubs from work and drawing eyes and a mouth on a cardboard box so I could be the evil Dr Cube from Kaiju Big Battel. I think right now I’d go for a paper plate drawn on with texta plus a black bedsheet to look like No Face from the movie Spirited Away. A far cry from the example of a colleague and his wife who access to friends’ skills of dental prosthetic technician and optician and complemented their werewolf and vampire costumes with temporary tooth veneer fangs and special contact lenses – the photos were awesome.
Yeah some people really go all out for Halloween. That has never been me.
Jem, Jem is truly outrageous… contagious… Jem is my name, no one else is the same… Jem! Thanks, Ashley. That will be on a loop in my head as I try to sleep tonight. Great costume ideas! I’d really have to go with She-Ra, that outfit is sexxxy.
Hell yeah! I don’t think I’ll ever forget that Jem song…
I used to dress up as a witch during Halloween because I have that costume at home 😂 It also take a lot of time now so this year I didn’t go to anywhere. I love the rainbow unicorn 💕
When I have dressed up before, it had to be easy, like anything I had lying around at home.
I love shera! I would also go as a unicorn! great post Ashley! xox
