I’ve been super busy and haven’t felt like spending any of my spare time looking for a costume. There is a party tonight and I still don’t feel like going to lots of thrift stores or buying something expensive. I was thinking if I put on some dressier clothes, spiked my hair a bit, and wore one of my wife’s scarves I could go as Sting. Surely there are better ideas than that.
Can you help a brother out?

Jesus.
Get some old rags (no pun intended), pour a lot of ketchup over you, and walk down the street with arms stretched out before you chanting “braaaaaiiiiiiiins” in a deep voice.
How would that make me look like Jesus?
Wear a suit that is two sizes too small, tap shoes, a prissy face, lipstick, and brillantined hair…Pee Wee Herman.
I don’t own a suit that is two sizes too small, tap shoes, and don’t enjoy making prissy faces.
Get a pipe.
Go as a pipe smoker.
Vampire.The easier thing ever.Wear a suit,slick your hair back,coat your face with white makeup,some black around your eyes,fake blood on your lips and you’re good to go as a Cable Guy! XD
Get a pair of devil horns, put on a jacket and slacks, and carry around a law book. Be the devil’s advocate. (If you don’t happen to have a law book, you can carry a regular book and just whip up a cover for it out of paper at home.)
Put on your wife’s clothes and go as a drag queen.
Put on a fedora and go as a 1990’s hipster.
@lucillelucillelucille Too much work.
@I like that, except I’d have to go buy horns somehwere.
@My wife is 5’6”. I’m 6’4”. No drag queen. But I do have a fedora-ish hat. That will work.
Sew or pin socks, a hanky, a pair of underwear, etc. on a sweat suit and go as static cling.
Can’t you cut a mask like thing out of hard paper and do a Hannibal Lecter look!!?!?!?!?!?!!?
You could stick a light bulb onto a hairband and go as an idea??
You don’t have to buy the horns. Shape them out of tin foil and paint them with red paint, nailpolish, marker. Ask your wife if you can use one of her headbands to stick them to.
After having asked for free advice, you are now both a contrarian and a curmudgeon. Go as you are..scowl a lot.
@gailcalled I’m not being contrary, I’ve rejected certain ideas to emphasize how lazy I want to be about this. In my defense, I’ve accepted certain ideas. But I do agree with you that I’m a pretty grumpy man and could pull that one off. My wife completely concurs.
Carry around a butcher knife stabbed through a box of Corn Flakes and be a cereal killer.
