Sign in to disble this ad
I'm supposed to wear a costume to a piano recital today. The problem is that I'm really, REALLY shy and my stomach turns at the idea of bringing attention to myself via costume. Just the thought that I have to be "clever" is making me sick at my stomach. I just want to wear regular "recital" clothes, do my thing, and get the heck out.
Any really quick, really cheap costume ideas that will come across as sarcastic or ironic instead of being an actual attempt at a realistic costume. Making fun of myself before anyone else does is my defense mechanism.

Voila, you are now Chico Marx. |

Or you can do the Donnie Darko costume. 
Cheap skeleton costume and a hoodie.

Draw red and blue 'knobs"on the front. Get a sparkletts 5 gallon water bottle, cut off the neck, then cut about a 1/3 piece of pie in a shape for your face.
There, you can go as a water cooler.
I did this one year and it was a big hit.

I was the "scary costume" lol...

Look, you're a D.i.a.B.
I'm totally kidding.

I had it easy- a friend/coworker of my wife had dropped a *village wench* costume off for her(wife)to use at work today; I threw it on Saturday night, added a toy flintlock pistol & BAM *pirate wench tranny*
I won a contest
