Halloween salsa costumes

Costumes that extend above the head can really limit your repertoire but you might have lots of fun anyway. See my avatar.

This year my girlfriend and I will be doing Madonna and Michael Jackson.

Errrr, which way round?

I'm not a good enough follower to be a female. Although I suppose Madonna could be a leader...

surely cone shaped bra/boobs will get in the way? :)

She actually found a 50s-style bra that has cones but that do not protrude excessively :)
 
So what is everyone wearing this year!?

I was planning on doing waldo last year, but got lazy. This year I've already hooked up my costume

Mine will be similar to this. Dancing should be interesting

I have always tried to find costumes that are good for dancing, too. No pictures but here are some descriptions of years past:
-Dressed as a burglar (all black with mask) and pinned a cat on my shoulder.
-Pasted the shape of a wrench on my t-shirt and had a (small) toy monkey around my neck.
-Had a hat with a "?" sign on it and a name tag "Mark" (which happens to be my first name anyway)

Last year's was kind of lame, just an orange t-shirt and a green hat with a stubble on top, people couldn't decide if I was trying to be a pumpkin or a carrot, so I gave up and ditched the hat.

I have an idea for this year but I don't know if it can work. I am thinking of attaching (a lot of) snack size candy bags on my shirt and trousers. Then again, maybe I won't do that as it could hinder dancing.

Agreed. I went to a party as a Native American Chief and the feathers got in the way of a few moves. Last year I got the ghost mask from Scream and found some girls were too scared to dance with me.

I'll probably wear that again this year :evil:

i think you may risk being nibbled to death by chocolate-crazed salseras... ;)

a certain event i'll be at on halloween (THE Egypt Salsa Congress, shh) has a choice between halloween costume, or dressing for the brazilian beach party. guess who has no idea for a costume yet... :oops: i think i'll go the bikini-top-long-shorts-and-flower-garland route (hoping the brazilian girls dont notice the similarity between my idea of 'brazilian' and 'hawaiian' (no reference to pubic topiary intended). last halloween i dressed as a 1950's movie star, and could barely see out of the false eyelashes.

the saving grace is that the after-party is a pyjama party, so we get to change out of uncomfortable costumes and into our jimmy-jammys. :cool:

I hope you take plenty of pics of your event because it sounds like it will be a lot of fun.

thanks Agua! :cool: (it's not too late to come you know... ;))

but what happens in Egypt, stays in Egypt... ;) names will be changed to protect the innocent (and the guilty), LOL.

actually yeah, plan to take loads of footage - everyone's so excited and looks like it's gonna be a blast. chocolate mud-fight, baby! :cool:

oh, and i think i've resolved my costuming dilemma....do you think i could spend the entire 3-day weekend in my pyjamas (and dance shoes, of course!) on the grounds that...

...this is where the concept falls down a bit, lol. :P suggestions?
