Last year i saw a man and a lady both dressed in black suits with white gloves, tall hats (like magicians) and their baby in a car seat dressed like a rabbit.
Last year my neighbor’s kid was a vending machine. You put in a quarter & got a small bag of candy. It was made out of a cardboard box. It was really cute!
my brother dressed up as a nuke. after enough wine he exploded! the effects are still being felt in the milk you drink.
2qwerty – hey that was my sis! lol
I saw someone who sewed two shirts together-one side was a white button down shirt, black suit pants, and black shoes. The other side was a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. His kippa was one side velvet and one side srugi. The best part was his hair-one side was short with peyos behind the ear, the other was normal mo-dox hair. Crazy costume.
I also saw someone wear a colored jumpsuit with white screen on his stomach and a hanger on his head-he was a teletubby
i saw a group of girls dressed up as girl scouts-it was verrry cute!
You guys ready for this one? I saw a guy dressed as… Dorothy (from the Wizard of Oz). lol. Im cracking up now as im picturing it in my head again. hehehe.
my cousin dressed up completely backwards (venahapuch hu?) one year. everything from pants, shirt, tie, jacket, hat, everything was put on backwards.
last year i was an french artist: french burrette, thin, long mustache, a small paint pallette attached to my wrist, long paint brush sticking out of my shirt pocket.
I know someone who dressed up as Siamese father-in-law and son-in-law—- I won’t go into details for fear of insulting anyone but it was HILARIOUS!!!
Someone else I know was an Arab one year. He was actually very convincing. He’s Sefardi and has a short black beard. He got a lot of weird looks (I live in Monsey, where the Arab population doesn’t exist.)
Then there was my brother the girl. He was actually extremely convincing. He wore my sister’s clothes and he would go to his friends and whenever there was someone else at the door he wouldn’t tell who he was, just that he wanted to give the shalach manos to, say, Shmuli. One of his friend’s mothers told him that this must be a mistake, because HER son didn’t talk to girls!
i was once a witch. painted myself complerelym green with face paint, black lipstick, black nailpoish, stick straight gross hair under a witch hat. I never ggot so many complements in my lif!
I love cofee and writersoul,
That’s a big shayloh (ayin mishnah brurah)
coffee addict: My brother was nine at the time. If he had been bar mitzvah my mom wouldn’t have let.
Writersoul,
Oh wow,
Watch out for gender issues when he gets ollder (jk)
One time I heard of someone who dressed as a Arab and had shaloch manos that looked like bombs. He walked up to someones house and put down the “bomb” next to the door. The neighbors got so scared that they called the police and had the street blocked off.
I saw a guy last year dressed as a monk with a big sign that said Ha’galach Ha’moel
LOL, rescue37, that’s great!
blackhatwannabe: I hope that wasn’t in E”Y. That would make it idiotic! In the states, just distastful and not even funny. But I could see certain boys going for that kind of shtick.
coffee addict: It was kind of a last minute decision on his part, anyway— his original costume was ruined (he made a white beard out of cotton balls and it fell in the mud). This was a last ditch effort.
My cousin’s family does themes. One year, they were all characters from the Wizard of Oz. The oldest girl was Dorothy, then came the Tin Man (homemade costume— it was actually really good), then Glinda, then the baby was the Cowardly Lion. Then another year (after the last Summer Olympics) my 8-year-old cousin was Michael Phelps! He thought it was funny to be a swimmer. It was a really easy costume— he went around in his bathrobe and a bathing cap and goggles.
My neighbor was also once a snowman one year when there was still snow. I actually couldn’t tell she wasn’t a real snowman. I got kinda freaked out when I saw it move.
I once saw a family of seven dress like the seven continents. The little baby was a penquin for Antartica. awesome.
Blackhat,
Re: the arab,
He should’ve used the popping elite chocolate and firebomb candy
That would’ve been THE BOMB
I saw this family of Geirim once. They dressed up like goyish holidays’ personalities; the father was Santa, the mother was a witch (Halloween), and their kid was the Easter bunny.
ANOTHER bump!
BH- that’s rly sad!!!!!!
*Bump*
hey why not? It’s after Tu B’Shvat. Gotta start thinking of costumes for my kids…
dress up as sasha baren cohen’s the dictator i did it last year and it was a great costume . people thought it was hillarious !
dress up like the aveirah song guy
my cousin was a twister man. She had a cloak and red heels and the board was like her hat. very cute.
my sister was a tzedddakah box.
my parents one year dressed up together as black and whitw. they got a white suit and a black suit, cut it in half and sewed one half black and one white half together. for my mothers skirt, she used the suit pants and opened the inside seam. they had bent down hats spray painted half white and my father had a black and white tie. shoes were black and white. VERY COOL!!
last year my father was a scottish guy. he hired a real costume including that skirt (think its called a kilt?) he had the funniest facial hair. it was rely good.
he has also been a jester and a chinese guy and old guy and charlie chaplin.
my father is a perfectionist so for example. the chinese guy he had a bald cap properly glued on and eye make up to look chinese etc. he also hired the whole costume so it was AMAZNG!!!!
proper costumes are fantastic and look the best but do not forget about shatnez issues
