A.C. asks from Silver City, NM on September 09, 2011

I Need Ideas for a Halloween Costume for 2 Co-workers.....

My sister works at an accountants office. Her and her co-worker want to dress up for Halloween but there not sure as what. They want something that goes together ( not together, together, you know what i mean, right?) and can wear all day at the office. My sister is 22 years old and her co-worker is about 32 years old. they are both pretty slender except the girl is about 1 1/2 feet taller than my sister, lol. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Borrow a couple chior robes and break out in song every now and then.
Find cap and gowns from highschoolers who graduated and dont need them now.
Slacks, with bowling shirts. Use a bowling bag as a purse that day. Bowling shoes too, but please dont steal them from the local lanes.. It happens a lot around Halloween, or whenever Footloose plays on tv..lol really.

L.P. answers from Pittsburgh on September 09, 2011

Laverne and Shirley? It would be easy, thrift store finds... longer wool skirts, sweaters/cardigans, scarves on their heads (you know, the old lady sheer ones to keep their hair in place? we call them babushkas... lol), ankle socks, etc.? And the cursive L on one's shirt would be the clincher that would tell who they are...

I think that would be so easy and adorable! And funny!

Or they could do Grease, either with Sandy as the good girl, or the bad girl... but I like Laverne and Shirley better... lol

I'm trying to picture all the duos that have one tall and one short.
Sonny and Cher?

I found a link for costumes for couples - even though it's 2 girls it would be even funnier. I love the Matrix costumes.

"Thing 1" and "Thing 2" per Dr. Suess.
They have these t-shirts & costumes on E-bay.
And maybe a wild blue wig.

Or, be "Super Girl."
They have those t-shirts and red 'Superman" type capes on E-bay too.
