Halloweek is fast approaching and unlike normal people, it's a week-long thing for me, so I have to prepare in advance. I have my costume box with me and anything I'd forgotten (there was a few things) is going to be picked up mid-month, as I have a break. So with that in mind, I figured I'd ask for some opinions. This means a fun poll!

Funny story about my Trinity costume; so it was something my mom picked up on the fly my Freshman year of college. Just a cheap version of her coat and the sunglasses. Well, lost the sunglasses, but I can't exactly see out of them anyway (no contacts) so I just wear my normal sunglasses now (which are more Blues Brothers, as that's what I wanted). And I didn't have the hair back then (but I do now! ha). It is, however, a Favorite, and I always try to find excuses to wear the coat. XD

And I cannibalize parts from costumes all the time, sometimes for everyday wear, so. People always give me odd things and I'm not too shy when it comes to wearing them (especially my wigs. I've got a fiber optic light up one, a blue sparkly one, as well as my more normal ones... I also have a beard now. XD). Hell my normal wardrobe is a little costumey some days.

And you should! That'd be SO CUTE. Some of my first costumes (well, my first ones that involved ME making them) were just me fabric painting on sweatsuits (I went as the Night Sky one year... this included this gold spray-paint disc around my face for the "moon" and gold stars painted on a black sweatsuit... it's a shame I have stage fright).

I can understand why. The Matrix coats are clearly the coolest things ever.

Wigs! My best friend who is teaching in Korea went to a wig party, where everyone wore one. It looked like so much fun.

I think I'd take the time to sew the triangles on - although that would probably make it take too long for me to finish it, but it'd be doubly fun because I know I have at least one FF fan in the class.
