My Claim To Fame - 4 time winner of the Outlet Halloween Most Creative Costume

Wasn't going to dress up this year for the Outlet Halloween Party. Wasn't even sure I was going because I was coming home from London the day before and if I didn't conquer jet lag would probably be sleeping. BUT didn't have any jet lag so it got to be 5p on Friday, October 31st (two hours from the start of the Halloween Party), and I decided I couldn't NOT dress up for the Halloween Party. It was at that point that I realized that I LOVE to dress up in costume for Halloween!!!

Mentally I was determined not to spend any money on this year's costume or run around the day of the party so I was left with whatever was in my apartment. I had looked around London a bit and did try and think of something over the week that I was there but was pretty stumped.

At 5p I was convinced that I was going to be a Colts Superfan and wear all my Colts stuff. Not much different than me watching a Colts game so I didn't really think it was truly a costume and definitely not up to the standards of my costumes in past years. There was an idea that I was tossing around a few weeks before and it just so happened that I had all of the necessary items for the costume. So no Colts Superfan but rather for this year's Outlet Halloween Costume Party I was...

A Basket of Dirty Laundry
-it was clothes from my goodwill pile, not my true dirty laundry from London-


The 6th Annual Outlet/Fuse Halloween Costume Party was held at Jasmine (aka Sarah Palin) and Cliff's (aka Joe the Plummer) house. They did a great job of hosting.


This group won from Best Teamwork as the cast of Clue.



As Jasmine promised during Outlet announcements, there was a cotton candy machine.

Here are some pics of the other costumes.










I'm already ready for next year, at least with the idea. Came up with it when I decided that I was going to be a dirty basket of laundry this year. Stay tuned for next year...

You should do a post that chronicles all your past costumes and wins. You have a photo of each, right? I think I even have pics of all but the gum one. Fun times.
