And that's easily the best couple costume ever. If I was seeing anyone I might insist that we go as Mulder and Scully from the X-files.
Maybe I'll finish my spaceman costume, make some air tanks out of half-gallon milk jugs, and repair the damage from the one Halloween I wore it. It makes me feel boring dressing up as the spaceman because all I can hear is my own voice, I can't see anything and if I try to dance or move much I sweat to death. I played one show in it and by the end of our fifteen mints set I was so dehydrated I was dizzy.
If I thought I had the time I might dress up as soviet superman... Actually looking at the comic it probably wouldn't take more than a few hours to make, but it would cost somewhere around $50 to get the supplies: a grey one-piece spandex suit, 4 yds of red fabric, a belt, a pair of tight black slacks from goodwill, a black sharpie, and some flip-flops or cheap shoes that can be sewn into the feet. It would be super comfy but I'd feel incredibly pompous dressing up as any superman, even though the soviet one is awesome.
I have three costumes I could do without doing much: spaceman, Dr McCoy and The Flash. Spandex costumes are WAY comfy, but boners are something to worry about... Last time I wore the flash costume I wore a cup to hide any boners I might have. Instead it looked like I had a massive boner the entire time I had the costume on.
