Halloween

Halloween is around the corner and I thought I would assist some of the crazies that like to dress up (unlike myself) with some costume ideas that I found. These should be sure to get some chuckles if only from a few odd balls like myself that loved the 80's:

California Raisin
The purple Raisin's who danced to the tune "Heard it Through The Grapevine." Wore White Sunglasses, Yellow ties and some had skateboards. Also had other props like radio's (the old portable ones) and microphones.
(The skateboards really would be fun)

Carebear
Am I the only one who remembers the Care Bears and their "Care Stare" attack for defeating villains? This costume wouldn't be so hard. A simple place to start would be to rent a bear suit of sorts (or create your own lame ass one), then create a paper circle (even a paper plate would do, attach it to the stomach and draw something like a raincloud for grumpy or a crescent moon for sleepy bear on it. And voila! Care Bear!
(oh crap, you could get funny with this one)

Inspector Gadget and Penny
Inspector Gadget - gray trenchcoat, hat, and some kind of goofy device. Penny - red and white striped shirt, green pants, red or pink shoes. Don't forget the big watch and wear your hair in pigtails.

Milli Vanilli
Wear a black turtleneck, black pants, paint your skin with brown/black face paint, and wear a braids or dregs wig.

Mork & Mindy
Mindy has pigtails, big shirt and jeans. Mork has tight shirt (no collar), jeans & suspenders.
(I possibly would dress up just to be mork & mindy for one night)

Tom Cruise (yes, he was actually on an 80's site, he's made it through all the decades)
Red and white stripe (thin) button down with the collar up, tidey-whities, tube socks (pulled up) and black wayfairer sunglasses.
(I am sure that there will be loads of these out there this year with Suri in tow)
