I need Halloween costume ideas. I'm 7 months pregnant.

[CottonBear]

Any ideas loungers? The costume doesn't have to be political.

I'm going to a party thrown by a local, left wing political and social activist in my community. The official theme is "Nightmare on Wall Street." I'm having a hard time thinking of an outfit for a pregnant woman. I'm blond and 5'-7.5". I thought of getting a brunette wig and going dressed up as Bristol Palin carrying around an infant baby doll named Trig.

1. Where a skinny belt and go as the equator.

:hide:

[CottonBear]

3. Ha!

Jeff told me he was going to tie a string to my foot and take me as a parade float!
(I promptly hit him in the head with a feather pillow!) ;)

I could go as a pregnant nun. :) I could also go as a globe complete with the equator!

[rug]

4. Whatever you do take pictures so the baby knows how s/he spent Halloween.

[CottonBear]

6. That's a great idea! It will be his first Halloween!

Halloween is our very favorite holiday so we are really excited!

Happy Halloween! :hi:

[dawgmom]

2. How about wearing a barrel?

That would be very in line with the theme. Could you rig up something that looked like a barrel?

[CottonBear]

5. Interesting idea. Since I can't bend in the middle any longer, the barrel wouldn't be a problem!

;)

[dawgmom]

7. Yeah, that's what I was thinking too -- but I can't figure out how you would construct it

I've been thinking about it. Are you crafty? And how much are you willing to spend?

[CottonBear]

11. I'm not crafty at all but there are lots of costume shops where I live.

I live in a very hip college town (Athens, GA) and Halloween is a HUGE holiday here! Many of the costumes are very elaborate and creative.

edit: spelling

[dawgmom]

16. Costume shop may have it

It's available online, but not sure you could get it soon enough.

[Gormy Cuss]

8. Get an oversized tee. Draw an arrow on it pointing towards your belly and above it write

"This is NOT the Housing Bubble."

[dawgmom]

9. Oh....I like that one

EAsy to do, and funny.

[CottonBear]

12. I like it! Jeff is a T-shirt designer! I could have one made up for me!

BTW, he made me a really cool Barack and Roll t-shirt last week! It's awesome!

[demmiblue]

57. Or writing "Zamboni" and the arrow pointing to her belly (dressed as Palin).

[siligut]

10. I like your idea!

However, some people won't be able to resist reminding you that Trig isn't Bristol's. You could also do something related to pork bellies, if that doesn't seem too negative. Or maybe something on inflation, because you are in a way inflated. :hi:

[CottonBear]

14. I thought of that too. I like the inflation idea! I am definitely inflated!

I've just gained 12 pounds, but still I weigh more than I ever have in my entire life.
However, it's different from just getting fat.

[siligut]

25. Oh, I know!

I wouldn’t have said anything if I thought that you had just gained weight. And the costume wouldn’t be as amusing either if that were the case.

[Sanity Claws]

13. go as a nun

Or instead of going as Bristol, go as Sarah and leak water as you walk around.

[CottonBear]

15. Oh my! That's a thought!

:spank:

[XemaSab]

17. Catholic schoolgirl

complete with pigtails.

[CottonBear]

19. Always a classic! I've got long hair so I could do the pigtails!

I'm thinking of the Britney Spears "Oops I Did It Again" video! ;)

[XemaSab]

24. Ouch

:D

[RebelOne]

39. No, I think a nun would be better.

[FloridaJudy]

18. How about a T-Shirt

With the slogan "Abstinence-Only Sex Education Worked for Me".

[CottonBear]

20. Bwahahahahaha! That's really, really great!

Hee, hee! ;) Thanks for the great idea!

[CottonBear]

21. Please post any ideas! I'll check back in tomorrow when I return to work!

(I only have computer access at work right now.)

Also, you can let me know what YOU will be wearing for Halloween! :) Happy Halloween!

[billyoc]

22. Preg-O-Lantern

[CottonBear]

23. Awesome idea!

Thanks! :hi:

[Greyskye]

62. That was my 1st idea too

What a great picture! I'd actually never heard of anyone doing that, but in retrospect I guess it's pretty obvious.

[applegrove]

26. Go as a lady bug. Black tights and Black dress.. Buy one of those

heart shaped red balloons and stick it on your back with spots on it. Get some black hightop running shoes. And you need some antennas.

[CottonBear]

43. I like it! Black is always slimming! And, it would be a warm outfit! n/t

[machI]

27. When my sister was pregnant, she made a big rabbit costume and went as 'Harvey'

<>

[CottonBear]

44. My cat might attack me! She loves to chase rabbits! n/t

[lazyriver]

28. Dunlap from Red State Update

[CottonBear]

45. I live in the Red State of Georgia so that would be a good one! n/t

[Jamastiene]

29. Go as Santa Claus.

That would look so cool and really fuck with people's heads. :P

[CottonBear]

46. It would be a warm and comfy outfit! n/t

[davsand]

30. Get a black garbage bag and be a Magic 8 Ball.

Make the 8 out of medical tape or whatever you can find that is white that will adhere to the plastic (contact paper would work) and make a message window out of a sheet of paper on a printer.

Put the message window on your chest with "The outlook is not positive" as the message.



Laura

[CottonBear]

47. I like it! n/t

[DeepBlueC]

31. Pumpkin, of course

:)

[CottonBear]

48. A classic! n/t

[S n o w b a l l]

32. How bout this one?

:rofl:

[hippywife]

33. I was going to post that one

but I was checking to see if it was already done. :rofl:

[CottonBear]

41. OMG!

:rofl:

[lildreamer316]

34. Black Eyed Pea.

Get black sweatshirt and sweatpants/jeans/whatever is comfy. Tape a big "P" on your shirt in masking tape. Black out one of your eyes.


There. Funny, simple, comfy.

Of course, you could always go as the American Economy. Black eye and all. LOL.

[CottonBear]

42. That's an easy one! Thanks! n/t

[unsavedtrash]

35. Fallen Angel?

Maybe a broken wing, wine stained gown, and sagging halo. Being pregnant is perfect.

[CottonBear]

49. That's a great idea! n/t

[begin_within]

36. Go as "The Result of Abstinence-Only Education"

[CottonBear]

50. I could be Bristol Palin! n/t

[ET Awful]

37. Go as a tick. . . . just tell 'em you heard it was a gathering of bloodsuckers

:P

[CottonBear]

51. Ewww! LOL!

How is the beautiful Quinn doing? He is so cute in that picture! :)

[meegbear]

38. Stick a nozzle on your stomach and go as a keg

[CottonBear]

52. I would be VERY popular!

Unfortunately, there's no beer for me right now! :( Only 8 more weeks!
I can't wait to have a glass of champagne on New Years! :toast:

[Bertha Venation]

40. Paint your tummy as a basketball and make a skirt that looks like a net.

Not Wall Street, I know . . . :)

[CottonBear]

53. Very creative! I like it! Thanks!

I love your kitty pics that were posted the other day! We have two kittehs but you have an entire pride of kittehs!

[jobycom]

54. Go as a cotton bear. That would be Wall-Street-Nightmare enough.

[CottonBear]

55. LOL!

:rofl: No one at the party would get the joke though!

[BlueIris]

56. Get a dress/wig that makes you look like Wilma or Betty, with a sign that says: "John McCain's

vision for the American woman." Don't wear shoes.

[CottonBear]

60. Pregnant and barefoot is definitely a GOP costume! n/t

[arterypyop]

58. Nixon Mask

There's nothing like a good old fashioned Richard (tricky dicky) Nixon mask to liven up the party :O

[CottonBear]

61. One of the most popular masks of all time, if I'm not mistaken!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[arterypyop]

59. Nixon Mask

There's nothing like a good old fashioned Richard (tricky dicky) Nixon mask to liven up the party :O

[LynneSin]

63. If you can't find an infant doll for Trig just use a suitcase - same difference

since she totes that kid around like it's a piece of luggage

[CottonBear]

64. That is so sad but true. I feel sorry for the poor little guy.

I am a little apprehensive about bringing my baby boy into the world with all the worldwide economic troubles and political and economic turmoil here at home. I hope that Barack Obama is elected. My little one needs to grow up in a country governed by reasonable, intelligent, caring, concerned and thoughtful people and not by the GOP thugs that have run our country into the ground over the last 8 years.

Happy Halloween!
