Halloween Costume ideas?
What can I be for Halloween?
Ideally it should be:
- historical
- comfortable and practical
- Halloween appropriate (Halloween tends to have more "types" like devils and maids, and the types of "famous people" that are acceptable are rather limited)
- able to match with both the Chinese teacher at work (MJ), and Jono at the inevitable home gathering
Past examples:
- Colonial dude
- Courtly Toph / Tang Dynasty courtesan
- Okita Souji of the Shinsengumi
Some possibilities:
- I can be a Communist soldier and MJ can be a KMT soldier, and Jono can be Stillwell. (Con: very military. Not sure I want to support that.)
- Or, alternatively, me and MJ can each pick a Song sister and Jono can be Sun Yatsen. I guess that would make me Song Qingling... (Con: not very distinctive outfits .. just generic period clothing... might not even make it)
- I can be a Wokou, Jono can be a Western pirate, and MJ can be.... I dunno... someone who fights pirates? (Con: Wokou don't have really distinctive outfits...)
