Brrrrainsss
Ok. So. As far as I understand it, Hallowe'en is the celebration and continuation of an ancient pagan holiday upon which men and ladies were encouraged to make their own clothes, drink semi-lethal punch in a stranger's house and spend all evening explaining who they were supposed to be.Naturally, all ladies' costumes must be "Sexy (Something)". Unfortunately some of us are mildly handicapped in this arena and this is the reason that in previous years I have attempted to be a Sexy Punk, a Sexy Witch, and a Sexy Harriet Potter, with varying degrees of success (failure). This year I have given up all pretence and just want to dress like an idiot on the one day of the year that it is actively encouraged.
Current options:
1) Sexy Gran: This requires a charity shop dress, very comfy shoes, those really thick flesh-coloured tights over drawn-on varicose veins, a liberal application of talcum powder, and a handbag with a brick in it.
2) Sexy Man: This requires a pair of braces, some Brylcreem, and a borrowed moustache.
3) Sexy Boy George: This evolved from the idea of 'Sexy Man'. Frankly I feel it is cheating to go as yourself.
4) Sexy Lush: This requires a ripped puffy 80s cocktail dress, smeared makeup, back-combed hair and a grafted-on martini.
5) Sexy Housewife: This requires that I just stay at home, and may be for the best.

That is one scary ass picture.
As for costumes...
The world is, and shall always remain...

What you doing for Dad's birthay
I got the DVD thing if you want to go halves
this may be a bit last minute...
I have a beard you can borrow for the party x x x
A Nonny Mouse
How about sexy Gandalf? I think you'd look so fetching with one of those beards. And a sceptre! Or an orb! Perhaps hotpants under the cloak for those blinkered few who don't see excessively long grey facial hair as erotic.
If you were to start a show of hands I am going with sexy man, because I think that is what you would enjoy most. The brick in the handbag is a good plan and should be included in which ever outfit you decide upon. The potentially magic (and then again maybe not) owl agrees with me.
6) Sexy Muslim: requires a burkha and a pair of hotpants.
RACH!
I miss you.
