Can you help me?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37734points) October 29th, 2021

I’m desperate!

I’ve been invited to a costume party on Halloween, and I don’t know what to do!

When I left the Big Island and moved to Honolulu 6 years ago, I gave away all my drag keeping only the cosmetics and jewelry.

I’m going to the thrift store this evening to search for inspiration.

I’m bald with a beard that I will not shave. I’ve thought of using makeup to paint my entire head gloriously and just wearing ordinary clothes.

I need ideas!

Hmmm…speaking of painting your head, you could do a rainbow theme on it. Or if you sew, maybe find a pride flag and whip up a costume, or just drape it across your luscious bod and paint your head gold! So funny how we picture people certain ways, only to find out we’re not even close. I pictured you with luxurious wavy chestnut hair. I know you’re just gorgeous!

Thanks! I do have a pride flag that I could wear…

I’ve seen pics of you in your acting days and you’d make a great Henry the Eighth (with pillows)! But that’s a costume rental I know.

It’s always worth considering Adam’s Costume!
Or is that too Halloweenie?

Eye patch. Black clothing. Instant Nick Fury.

How about a beret, baggy shirt and spattered pants and a palette and you could be a French artist?

I will report back after I visit the thrift store.

If you can get a black or red cape, how about Anton LaVey, who founded the Church of
Satan?

Is a Ru Paul masquerade within your sartorial grasp?

Paint your head and face, braid your beard and go as a Viking? Bright clothes and lots of jewelry.

I went to the thrift store. I found 2 suitable dresses, but I didn’t buy either. The drag I’m accustomed to would require me to shave. I don’t just mean my face. I mean I would need to shave my arms, armpits, legs, and chest. I know it might be funny to go with all the hair, but I can’t do that. I just can’t.

The party is tomorrow, Sunday. This afternoon I’m going to get my makeup out and see what kind of shape it’s in after sitting in the kit unopened for about 7 or 8 years. It’s high quality theatrical makeup, but it might all be dust.

I’ll paint my whole head and face. If I feel daring, I’ll go shirtless wearing a harness. (Do a search for gay harness.)

My cat has one similar to that.

Is your cat a leather master?

He can be anything anyone wants him to be…. ;-)

@rebbel: Maybe your cat thinks he is Rob Halford.

I want to see that photo of @Hawaii_Jake as Henry the Eighth!
