I never do Halloween costumes myself, but last year my dog went as "Doctor Pepper" (little white lab coat + children's toy stethoscope + her name is Pepper).

[–] Elextra@literature.cafe 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is there a picture of this Dr. Pepper :D?

[–] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, but I'd have to crop myself out of them and I just don't feel like it.

Have to settle for this dog tax. She's the one on the left.

The younger one is very energetic and difficult to photograph without being a blur. Most of the pictures I have of her are sleeping, being held, or extremely blurry.

White shirt and a blood pack should be pretty popular this year.

Just fired up the cricut to print freedom

[–] Elextra@literature.cafe 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. Evelyn from Everything Everywhere All at Once.

I was thinking Turd Ferguson

[–] Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ha ha… it’s a funny name… HA!

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

That was my costume last year. Turd Ferguson.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Costumes came last month in fact.

I have a metallic blue mask that terrifies everyone who sees it. That'll do.

Some DS9-related partner costume. Either Miles O'Brien and "Prostitute" Kira or Grilka and Quark. I'm leaning towards the former because it's much much simpler, but I'm eager to do the latter at some point. It also depends on which partner has time and interest too

[–] Bags@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Something something Garak and Bashir.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The guy Laura Bush killed.

I have planned to dressed myself as Purification Army Soldier, based on TNO's fictional nation/warlords Ural Purification Zone led by Yuri Evtukovich

Never dressed-up as anything, wouldn't know as what...
