I was going to dress as Cole Blaquesmith from 'Steampunk', but I din't think the right people would get it. So now it's a corporate raider or a Pirate of Silicon Valley.
What are other people dressing up as for Halloween?

I can't believe how geeky this is, but I've been posting for the past few hours wearing my Star Trek uniform.
So much for the myth that Trekkers don't really go on the internet dressed for conventions.
My uniform: circa 2151, Earth Starfleet command division jumpsuit, with Enterprise assignment patch. Rank is captain of course.
The costume was only like half-an-hour's work. Off the rack military flightsuit (so the pockets dont match.. nyah), slight adjustment to the collar, and a length of yellow ribbon sewn to each shoulder. Add an Enterprise patch to the shoulder, and an NX-01 hat. The rank pins are four square studs off my punk belt. I happened to already have a collarless black button down shirt that is properly worn under it. Add army boots, which i constantly wear anyway, and its set.
The most hilarious part is that I'm going to screw continuity and carry a TOS phaser if i cant find a good loking ENT version. no one will really notice. If I want to win the costume contest, I'll also put on Vulcan makeup, which seems unlikely for the Earth Starfleet, but hey, who knows that besides us.
For the party tonight however, I'm gonig in a little more style, Vulcan makeup, DS9 uniform worn with huge rave pants and lotsa skin-glitter and eye makeup. Yes I'm going to fetish night dressed as a gay Vulcan raver.

If I had a costume, I'd be a mountie. But I don't.

For work tomorrow ("Nothing frightening or revealing, please") I'm going to be dressed as a princess. Whoo, hoo. Formal gown from the closet, extra time on my hair and makeup, and a tiera... it'll be a part-ay!
On Saturday though, for the party that counts, I'm going to be a goth punk chick.... see, I'm going to this HUGE Halloween bash at a bar over in ID as the date of the lead guitar player in the band (he's my rock star boyfriend!)... anyway, they're all dressing as gothic punk rockers or something, and I get to join in on the fun... my costume, bottom to top: Black patent leather boots that lace up to my knees, black fishnet stockings, green/purple/black plaid catholic school girl pleated shirt (short, with safety pins to hold it in place), skimpy black tank top that laces up the front (My mom hates it- she says I look like a whore), a black sweater if I get cold, and my make-up will be done up in black and purple, with lots of glitter. Add to that the fact that I have my new sassy red hair, and I should be good to go. I'm REALLY looking forward to this costume.... *grin* It's not often that I get in touch with the demon within
Crosss your fingers and maybe I'll take pictures. Maybe...

Liz: You realize, of course, that, if you don't post a picture, the people here will never forgive you. Besides, it can't possibly be as bad as that other Halloween costume picture. The one you sent me a while back, but I'm not allowed to show anyone...
