So, as some might have noticed from the stamps I've made, I'm currently in a class that has me staying at a hotel for several weeks, including over halloween. So, since I'm not home, I didn't plan on making any costume. However, a group of us in the class decided we'd throw a party for the hell of it, so on Thursday night, I realized that I was costume-less.
I always make my own halloween costumes because it's much more fun and you can be anything you want to be, you don't have to rely on finding one in a store.
And if any of you have ever tried to buy a girl's halloween costume, you'll know that they come in: skank, ho and wench (if it's a pirate/beer maiden costume). My particular favorite brand of these are the Playboy costumes (check out Spirit Halloween Store if you don't know what I'm talking about). The pictures of the costumes are on Playboy Bunnies! 99% of the time, the person who buys them is not going to look like that!
And lord knows, no one wants to see me in a costume like that - they're liable to light themselves on fire and throw themselves out a window
So, here I am with no costume, no sewing machine and no time. Oh, and no sewing store within about 2 hours.
So I'd seen duct tape prom dresses before and =DuckTapeBandit's Queen of Hearts dress, and I thought, "I bet I could make a decent duct tape costume." Problem is that they recommend having a pattern, and I was 2 hours away from the nearest sewing store.
I wound up making a duct tape poodle skirt (pictures to be posted tomorrow after I get people to take them tonight). This involved a lot of duct tape, a set of who-shot-the-couch sheets, and a rudimentary compass done using a shoe string and a sharpie.
Seriously, scientists should never be allowed to learn how to do crafts. I actually used the equation c= 2*pi*r to figure out the radius for the waist hole based on how big my waist was.
And then made a compass....
I think I'm actually embarrassed by my own nerdiness
Stay tuned for pictures! And Happy Halloween everyone!!

98% of teenagers can walk normally without running into walls, if you're one of the 2% that can't, paste this in your signature.

As an adolescent, I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls.

Life's a joke, might as well laugh.
