WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
Ok, i posted this in the "Market place: for sale and wanted" section, but it didn't appear, so I'm writing it over again here.
I'm going to a halloween costume party next week-end at a friends place and I want to go as "The world's ugliest stripper." Which for anyone who's seen me would agree, thats exactly what I'd make if i was a stripper.
Now, a friend of mine thinks she has a bustier that was too big for her that i might be able to squeeze into, so I'm not worried about that right now. Also, I'll wear my black thong.
My biggest concern is footware. Keep in mind I'm cheap. I dont want to pay $45+ for shoes I'm going to wear once. I dont care about the condition of the shoes. If they're torn and dirty that just adds to my costume. So where am I going to find platform stilettos in my size? I'm a size 11.5 mens, so looking at a chart that appears to be a 13 in womens sizes.... Anyone know where i can find size 12-13 womens shoes cheap? Again, new or used, i dont care, i just dont want to pay much.
Also, where can I find a garter? Im sure those are cheap especially since I'm not looking for anything fancy.
Besides the thong, should i wear something else for bottoms? any ideas of what to wear AND where to find it?
All of this stuff can be tacky, it doesnt' matter. the uglier the better :-P
Thanks for you help!
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
I know you're from MA, and familiar with Providence so I'll post this suggestion ...
Try the dancer shops on Mathewson Street in Downtown Providence, RI across from the Providence Play House.
[PS: I understand you're dancing in drag for halloween, but why the pink ribbon in your profile? You trying to sneak around the ladies locker room (aka "Ladies Only") again? Heh.]
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
Ive had that ribbon for over two years now verf. get with the program :-P
Thanks for the suggestion, but I really dont want to go to a stripping gear store. No desire to get raped for shoes I'll wear once. might go there for a garter though. i got my thong at a [now closed] stripping gear store in north providence.
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
Sand you can get brand new stripper shoes from the link below (gee I hope you will be able to walk in em) for $25+ and they have sizes up to womens 14. http://howcool.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=25
Also you can get cheap ($2) tarty looking thongs from walmart (thats if you have no issue shopping there)
HTH
Seraya.
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
Here are some in the $20-$35 range also they are 4" and 3" heels dunno if your brave enough to attempt higher one's.
With the clear ones you could get really creative and stick rhinstones/fur/animal print etc. on them to make them even more tackier :D
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
hmmm, seraya says "most items shipped within 15 business days." which COULD mean i'd get it in 3 days. but if it took 15, thatd be WAY too late. guess its my fault for not putting this together soon enough. thanks for the link. If i can't find any at a thrift shop or something, i might try this.
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
hahaha, yah i was thinking of getting 5" ones. Id no doubt stumble all over the place, but that would just add to the charm of my costume. lol
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
^LOL that would be a sight I would love to see :D
yea you could try some thrift shops you can usually find some cool stuff.
If you have no such luck though you can still use the site that I gave It say's that they have "rush shipping" but you have to call for more info
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
I'm sure i'll have pics taken and I'll send them to you (assuming i can pull all this together in time). I have a feeling I'll end up using that site. rush shipping....eeeek, my poor anemic wallet :-P
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
post pics of you dressed. :D

Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
oh, itll be for a few hours. i'll just work on building my calves and quads over the next few days. i just may not be able to drive home after :-P I posted an ad on CL and someone responded telling me they had size 13 shoes worn once and a garter for $20, so i might take them up on it.
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
Ok, so i bought a pair of silk/cotton tiger print pants(for $3) that i cut at a slant to make a skirt. Ive got my black thong that ive had for years. A friend gave me a black bustier that didn't fit her(it doesnt' exactly fit me, but i can get it on). it has 13 clasps! THIRTEEN FUCKING CLASPS! what a pain in the ass. i dont mind the 2 or 3 i'm used to, but damn, thats way too many.
Today i got a pair of shoes. They're size 13, 6" platform stilettos. And i found it amusing that i actually had to punch my own holes in the ankle strap on both because the premade ones were all WAY too big(i have small ankles????). Chick also tossed in a black lace garter and a pair of thigh highs. All for $20.
Now, what should i do for makeup? I have none. wondering if i should put some on or not.
Ok, i realize this is my first pair of heals, and that most of you probably started with like 1-2 " heals when you were younger and as you got used to them worked your way up, but damn, i swear im going to twist an ankle.
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
^ OMG you sooo have to take pics of this!!!!
Yes dear please please be careful in those 6inch heels!
Oh and you mos def have to wear makeup!!! You will kill the look of you don't and it wont be fun.
Apart from that it seems like you're good to go!
Seraya.
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!

What should i do for makeup? and i wonder where i can get some free/cheap.
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
Yes makeup! And yes, pictures lol. I would go with a cheap bright ass red lipstick, make sure to get some on your teeth. I can't believe you're walking in 6 inch heels. THIS I GOTTA SEE!
Re: WANTED: Halloween Costume HELP!
