There's one at BuyCostumes.com of a plug and outlet that is kind of funny.

Hey, anyone know a way to make that costume? DH and I have to go to a costume/bday party for my mil. I do not want to pay $60 for the above but I was thinking maybe I could make it. The girl part would be easy enough with just a black dress (or even a hefty bag) with posterboard cutouts of the sockets. But what about the plug part?

The plug looks to be just a box with two, maybe wrapping paper cardboard rolls or tubes of some sort, piched at the end and painted gold.

julie, maybe styrofoam for the bos thing...imo, i think a box would bend to easily...unless you somehow got it really sturdy. and the cord...i would think of a thicker fabric...not just like a sheet or something...but something thick. ita, with cinnamon, about the plugs tho.

Julieboo, you have the female part down. Male - cardboard box painted white. and yes, wrapping paper tubes with gold foil wrapping paper on them, pinch the ends. You got it. Pretty simple.

Escapee, do you know the kid's cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender? Donners and I have been talking about dressing up as Aang and Katara for a few Halloweens now. Alice and the white Rabbit / Mad Hatter? Luke and Leia? Pam and Tommy? The couple from Corpse Bride? Princess Buttercup and Dread Pirate Roberts? Britney and Kevin (baby included?)

red tights or leggings and a huge chef's hat. you would be an extracted tooth. once i saw a huge taco. the guy bent a large piece of beige foam rubber he had cut into a circle and had streamers of green and orange for the shredded lettuce and cheese, etc. I think he tied it closed or maybe duct taped it and then the lettuce and cheese hid where it was fastened. i do remember a spitload of us running for taco bell late that night! you can put straps on a large empty box, wear it hanging from your shoulders, paint a large x on the front and be an Xbox!

Not sure where I should put this, so I'll put it here and maybe in the poll/vote thread. (I totally missed the boat when I put it in the sports section--what was I thinking?? Thanks Hukd for the suggestion!!) SO what am I talking about?? I am asking for your help as my family entered a video contest for Home Run Inn pizza. We are trying to win, and a percentage of the final results come from online votes. Please visit the following website to watch our video. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=4vwvoBZM9j8 Then, please click on the last of the 5 stars to give us the highest vote. The last star (awesome) is the one to click on. Feel free to comment if you like. In fact I think the comments may really help even more than the stars! If you are not already registered with youtube, you will need to register in order to vote, but it's free and you don't get spam email or anything by signing up. The contest asked us to combine Home Run Inn pizza with Halloween in some capacity. The winning prize includes Halloween decorations and Home Run Inn Pizza employees coming to your house and handing out pizza slices to Trick-or-Treaters. This would be a thrill to win and make Halloween extra special so please help Ryan have the most exciting Halloween of his short life by voting today and throughout the week as the contest ends this Friday. THANKS!!!

I really was hoping to be Little Red Riding Hood from Hell. But as the day gets closer, and my work days are getting much longer, I think I am just going to decorate a cardboard box and go as a pack of Kool-Aid.
