    I liked the Junior Anti-Sex League from 1984 and the Predator was great looking.
    I want to do it with an Anti-Sex League girl. #halloween

    I wanted to go as Ghostbusters this year with my friends, but no one had the commitment, and I was the only one in the end who dressed up (well amongst my guy friends - all the girls made an effort)

    PREDATOR costume is fantastic! Must'a been hot though. #halloween

    I'm so psyched you picked my Starbuck! It was extra fun because I got to get wasted and punch people and nobody objected because that's what Starbuck would really do. The host demanded our costumes be "brutal" and I figured "harbinger of death" fit the bill pretty well.

    Well done, everybody - I've had so much fun looking through the galleries. Can't wait for next year! #halloween

    Mal vs. Sweeny Todd sounds like a fun battle to watch. Even more fun if the Cap'n channels a certain Hammer and bursts into song with Todd.

    Kara Thrace is awesome.

    I'm not deep into the Trek fandom but shouldn't the red shirt be the read one? #halloween

    @AshThePirate: Clearly that's a recreation of the teaser segment from the unproduced yet controversial season 4 script "Vaster Than Empires And More Slow" (not to be confused with Ursula K. LeGuin's short story from two years later) written by a young David Cronenberg. She's in sciences, he's in engineering.

    (spoiler: While planetside to download date from an unmanned Federation research station, a strange organism fires a cloud of spores at them before promptly disintegrating. Lieutenant Romero's up and about after the first commercial break, but by Act 2 the behavior of both she and Ensign Snyder there are already being altered by the phytocytic spores. And when their fruiting bodies start to sprout as they try to jointly seduce Kirk in Act 5...well, let's just say the dènouement would have been pretty intense for today's network television, let alone the 1969-70 NBC prime time lineup.

    Or so I've heard.) #halloween

    I refuse to get a Flickr, so this will have to do.
    Some crazy photographer decided that my face was needed on the local party scene site.
    I've got two from the actual party we had at my place as well, but they turned out sorta bad. Well, at least for seeing what I was.
    This is somewhat better. #reminder

    hehe!

    halloween has no real meaning to us here in NZ, but we engage in it, because we like to identify with the United States (seeing as the U.S.A pretty much dictates visual culture at the moment). It was interesting this year to see the number of people dress up, and children trick or treating, rise significantly. #reminder
