because depending on what I decide I'm going to need stuff made and that takes time. A few ideas I'm kicking around:
A Burlesque Dancer: vegas style corseted bead and feather costume with a mini hat.
A chubby Amanda Palmer: she's one of my heroes and I'd totally rock the indy rock star thing. This also gives me a wide range of things to work from as she has many "looks". If you don't know her:

Something steampunk.
Weigh in if you'd care to. Let me know what you think. Halloween is kinda my holiday and I don't mind spending money on this one day of the year. Bonus points if it's something I can wear again (maybe to ren faire?) but not necessary.
