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?

I could also “dress up” my guinea pigs like hairless pigs by shaving their hair – but they might hate me forever…

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!!! 😂

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?

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.

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.
