Coin contest!

 

Show us your costumes! This year's costume only for the contest, please... but if you want to post older costume pics, fine by me. They won't be judged, just admired!

I was still working on that. I'm not sure if YouTube links are allowed here, but I guess the Mods will remove it if it's not. Here it is. One of the things about my videos is that I try to never appear or speak in them, so I had to issue the challenge with annotations.

Well, a proud Grandmother and Mother is posting a photo of the youngest member of Francis Family. This little bat flew in to Trick or Treat on us this afternoon. She would be mighty proud to win this coin because her Aunt Allyson (ALinMaine) is from AL.

 

Here is her photo:

 

And thanks for the cointest!

Halloween is mine and JohnMac56's favorite holiday. We usually go all out wil scary yard decorations, fog machines, strobe lights, black lights, sound effects, everything. This year however the weather was a bit too damp to set up verything so we will have to wait until next year for those fun things. JohnMac56 did buy me a new costume this year. It is a full Cinderella costume and I just love dressing up like the princess I am. I wore this costume this year to take our grandson out trick-or-treating and then to hand out candy after he was too tired out.

I love Vampires. I love to dress up as one too. I have been working on my costume for years. Heck, it is almost done, just got a couple more things to get for it. But it has gotten better and this year so far was the best. If I look tired, I am a little. I just got back from a Halloween party, where I just missed getting first prize for best costume, what a bummer. But still had fun.

...and Jocelyn, (the princess...who thought she should sleep in her fancy dress last night : )

 

 

OOOH! The sweet princess here gets my vote for best costume! Mainly because I've got a sweet little 2 1/2 year old princess of my own (currently downstairs in my bed with her stuffed kitty, taking a nap) who refused to remove her earmuffs that I bought her for a whole day because they were so 'cool' and I understand how adamant they can be about not wanting to take something they love off

 

Great pics everyone, loved the bad, indian princess and pop devil, too, but that little princess just gets my vote!

[+Geo.Error]

thanks for this cointest..we here in the Netherlands don't know how to celebrate Halloween, so i enjoy know very much your pictures

 

Can not wait to see more

[+DJ.J.ROCK]

hello, I need to explain a few things before I show my costume pics

 

first. I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!!! its been my fav holiday for many years,

2ond I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!

3rd ,, so I ve allways loved to be someone Im not for just 1 day its gr8,, this lil obsesion started when I was young!! each year I try to out do the year before on the costume front,,,,well over the years its turned into a big project now, last year I was a high roller devil ,,, this year I decided to use some of the costume from last year to help save on the cost of the costume,,,Ive been knowen to spend alot on parts of the costumes,, but alway have super results!!

 

about a lil over a year ago,, I got really really sick with infection in my body, I coulda and was border line of dieing because of the infection. After about 250 bucks in anti infection meds(pills) and 3 weeks of fighting infection,, it was time to undergo an operation. I had all 32 teeth pulled out in one sitting, but at least im alive!!

 

so this year with all in mind above, I decided to become an old man with razor burn!!!!! using liquid latex,and makeup,,, I spent close to 8 hrs in the mirrior!!! creating wrinkles,and making everything look as real as possible. This is a Home Made Costume,I did not buy facial pieces or a rubber mask,this is hard, teedious, make up work. I Love it...but sure am glad its only once a yr.

 

whew! oh,, and No I did not shave my head eather ,,still have all my hair!!

 

So with out further adue,, at 25 yrs of age,, I present to you,,"OLD MAN WITH RAZOR BURN"

 

thx.--DJ.J.ROCK-JAY

My oldest was hellbent on being Elmo, despite being about 5 years older than most Elmo-enthusiasts. My youngest was slated to be Cookie Monster, but when JoAnn's didn't have any blue fur, we switched gears and he became a cookie! Oh, and the deal was that "The Bunny" gets all the Heath Bars...

[+DJ.J.ROCK]

You need to upload your photo, you can add it to one of your cache logs, then view the photo from the cache log and click on it to open in its own window - that it the url to use to add it to your post. Hope that is understandable.

You are the worlds worst cacher??? The one that came to Rhodes island in Greece????

I am asking because I think a geocacher with that codename came in a cache very close to my house (In the cache in Monte smith...in the Antennas...) and left a Hogwildstuff pin which is now in my hands!!! I couldn't find any info about this pin (it is gold in color, round and as a design has the seal of Hogwildstuff)!!!!

 

You are probably not this geocacher, but what a coincidence!!!!

 

BTW...I love your T-shirt!

Do not vote for this photo, though scary it is NOT a costume!

-cheeto- and little -cheeto- on Halloween 2008

 

 

My costume was nicknamed "the happy camper" and his back-story is during a recent camping trip the happy camper entered the woods to find a nearby geocache and stumbled on something radioactive which caused a major problem with his complexion.

 

little -cheeto- wanted to look like he was "muggled" severly.

 

Happy Halloween Everyone!

This is our grandson Kyle. No typo, that's our grandSON. Kyle and his best friend both went to their school Halloween dance on Friday dressed as girls. They didn't talk to anyone for awhile so no one would know who they were. We hear they freaked out some of their teachers when they finally spoke.
