Hallow's Eve is A Comin'

Every year I like to put a good amount of thought into my halloween costume.  This year I've been brainstorming and might just addorn myself with a video-game inspired look.  There are two ideas I've been entertaining, but I'm still not sure which one is better.
While surfing the web, I cam across a website with all sorts of costume accessories.  One thing that caught my eye was this wig: http://www.pierresilber.com/redwigs2.html which could help me transform myself into a living Guitar Hero.  If you've ever noticed, the characters in the game are colorful and dressed ridiculously.  I feel it might be appropriate to make myself up as such since 70% of all the down time in my apartment seems to be taken up by my friends playing Guitar Hero or Rock Band.



Idea number two is more cliche: Lara Croft.  This makes me want to give the traditional costume a little twist.  If I can come up with a way to put this together properly, I'll make myself a hybrid costume based on the Lara Croft character and Octomom.  Angelina Jolie has six* children thus far, so she's well on her way to dethroning the infamous Octomom anyway.  I'll have to gather a bunch of baby dolls, lip plumping gloss, and a couple gun holsters to become the Womb Raider...









*I actually had to look up how many children she has: "Brad and Angelina have 6 children: Maddox Chivan, Zahara Marley, Pax Thien, Shiloh Nouvel and their new set of twins; the boy Knox Leon and the girl Vivienne Marcheline. "  Thank you WikiAnswers!

So I'm starting to think that video games can inspire aa number of things, first my friend's tattoos and now my future costume.  We'll see in a couple weeks what I can put together. ;]
