Facebook Costume

Can’t think of anything to be this Halloween? Are you looking around at the items in your living room or bedroom thinking “… could I be a coke can? A sock? A remote control?” The answer -for possibly the first time- is exactly like what your mother has been telling you; you can be whatever you want to be! There is absolutely no chance that you’ll come to the party dressed as the exact same thing as someone else; because this costume will be your own unique brainchild for you and you alone to reap the benefits of. Generally though, it takes a little wit to pull this off correctly. You can’t come to a party as a ball point pen and expect everyone to be in awe of your genius. No, this takes a bit of thought. You really have to know what type of people will be at this party or event that you are going to, or at the very least you need to know what age group will be the most prevalent, then you can choose your ‘object costume’ accordingly.

Say, for example, that the majority of your friends are really into facebook or myspace. You could construct a piece of cardboard with straps so that you could wear it, and decorate it to look like your facebook or myspace page! You could cut a hole in part of it for your face to peek through as if it were your profile pic, and carry a pen with you so that all of your friends at the party could ‘write on your wall’. It would be a really fun conversation starter that would definitely get people interacting.

Or maybe you and your friends all have a specific favorite game that you play. There are “Twister” dresses available to purchase on the internet, or you could use your creativity to construct a giant card or game piece to wear to the party.
