Sexy Lobster Costume (Out of A Kid's Costume)

Sexy Lobster Costume (Out of A Kid\
I wanted to be something sexy this year, but I didn't want to be a typical Sexy Cat, Sexy Nurse, Sexy Schoolgirl, Sexy Cop, etc. So I found this kid's lobster costume and turned it into a Sexy Lobster costume. You can turn anything into a sexy costume with a little bit of lace and some elbow grease!

Opossum. Platypus. Octopus. Hedgehog. Rat. Whelk. (Bonus points to whoever can pull off the last one).

Construction vehicles (I'd imagine a front-loader or bulldozer would generate some rather awkward guffaws when people finally caught on).

For nerds, the Predator aliens, Optimus Prime (actually, I'd love to see someone try that), modern day William Shatner.

I hesitate to say bacon...but that has to have been done by now...

Nice job!
I was a sexy lobster for Halloween once, believe it or not... my husband went as a fisherman/lobster trapper.
Great work!

I can't lie, when I read "Sexy Lobster," I thought you were flat-out insane. "There's no way she can pull off sexy lobster. It's just not possible."

And then I saw the photos. I don't even know what to say. You not only look sexy, you look adorable! How did you come up with this? The creativity is just astonishing.

That hat is truly inspired. The gloves are adorable, and the rufflebutt panties may be the cutest part of the whole thing. I can't decide if those or the hat are the best part. Regardless, you deserve to win several internets for this costume! Well done!
