Step 1: Make the costume

1795339593_655903bd97.jpg
To make this costume I purchased two pumpkins. One slightly lager than my head and another larger than my waist. For the hat: I cut out a hole the size of my head, cleaned out the stringy bits and seeds and wore it. For the "pants" I cut a hole through one side of the pumpkin and out the other, removed the gunk and put it on.

Please don't tell me you were running around in the nude with only a hat!!!! Yuck. That's worse than when I got my braces yesterday. Gross. Keep your pants on, literally.

As you can clearly see in step 2 I wore clothing underneath the pumpkin.

I wish people would dress as crazy as this in MY neighborhood. Barrington is so BORING.

I am never trick-or-treating near your house........ Very...uhhhh....eco-friendly costume though!

I don't think many moms would want you giving their kids candy. Good idea though!
EnigmaMax says: Oct 1, 2008. 9:16 PM
I don't think linus would want to see that in a pumpkin patch at night...
WonderWheeler says: Sep 22, 2008. 12:09 AM
OMG, I am just glad you didn't sit down hard on that wooden bench suddenly and break open your gourd!

Why, oh why didn't you leave the stem on?
jstrawther says: Nov 1, 2007. 2:13 PM
Awesome, i never would have thought of laces
Honus says: Oct 31, 2007. 6:23 AM
No pumpkin clogs? Well it looks like you had a good time wearing it! LOL
LunaLovegood says: Oct 31, 2007. 5:57 AM
I don't like thinking he made food out of the excess materials. I hope I never get fed any of THAT juju. Cool costume though, a bit disturbing, well, let me rephrase that, about as disturbing as it can possibly get. Yep. That's more like it.
darkmuskrat says: Oct 29, 2007. 9:37 PM
Very Unique...I might need to get the eye soap though
jesse.hensel (author) in reply to darkmuskratOct 29, 2007. 10:08 PM
Is it so cute its disturbing, or so disturbing its cute? Either way, I think its a success.
darkmuskrat in reply to jesse.henselOct 30, 2007. 5:42 PM
A little from A, a little from B
pyelitegamerro76 says: Oct 29, 2007. 6:22 PM
thats pretty creative, but i would pass on the soup and pies, it has some extra "flavorings" in it lol
jesse.hensel (author) in reply to pyelitegamerro76Oct 29, 2007. 7:12 PM
I used the excess material for cooking. The parts that I actually wore went into the compost.
jongscx says: Oct 29, 2007. 12:45 PM
You know... I'm pretty thankful that the Stem was trimmed flush with the fruit...
Danielfish says: Oct 29, 2007. 12:05 PM
Lol, it sounds delicious. I really hope that's a 'Hello, my name is' sticker! It would just complete the whole outfit! Although, maybe you could have done with pump(kin)s for your feet.
