Sexy Optimus Prime as Halloween costume. Good idea orrrr bad idea?

Are we talking for you, or in general?

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

What? Is there a different standard for me than the rest of the planet?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

I immediately thought of how badly a "sexy" Optimus Prime costume would hold up if you got attacked by zombies, assassins, or Brotherhood members. The rest of the planet generally doesn't seem to have that problem.

Because I have apparently been at the mansion too long to include this as a possibility.

Hmm. I wonder if we could figure out some practical Optimus Prime body armor...

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

Surely we can have one holiday where we don't get attacked, right? Normally I save all my drama for Hanukkah.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

What happens at Hanukkah? Besides the prerequisite family catastrophies?

What can I say? I like to be prepared for anything.

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

C'mon, you've seen my Mom. And she's the least dramatic.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

...I plead the fifth.

Not touching that one with a 20 foot pole.

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

OH noes! Jean, does this mean my plan for us to get a group together and go as sexy Voltron is out?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

What about Power Rangers? I hear there's a new movie coming out. I still remember watching that show when we were kids. :D

And Sailor Moon, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego....

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

Carmen! Or there's always Oregon Trail... though then you know somebody's going to want to dress up as dysentery and that never goes well.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Lmao that would be hilarious. They can just modify a poop emoji costume and add a few splashes of red.

...yeah I can tell I'm a little loopy from a long shift when I am highly amused by this.

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

They? Don't you mean I?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

lmao, you're thinking of seriously going to go as dysentery?

I love you.

I'm tempted to go as a prairie woman. You can chase me around with a sign that reads 'you have died of dysentery.'

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

LET'S DOOOOO IT.

Though I gotta admit, going as syphilis would probably be cuter.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Honey, I've treated syphilis. It isn't pretty. :D

We need to rope some other people in...one to play a wagon, another fellow pioneers, maybe some oxen....

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

JP would probably make a pretty good ox.

And have you never seen a stuffed syphilis (http://www.giantmicrobes.com/us/media/catalog/product/cache/2/image/1012.5x1012.5/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/p/o/pox.jpg)? Of all the microbes, it might be my very favorite.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

He's one of the speeders, right? I suppose as a euphemism it's pretty good. :D


You just like it because it looks like pestilent cotton candy.

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, since dysentery's taken. :)

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

huh?

Sorry, the late shift has my brain all kurfuzzled.

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about costumes that involve speed... or could. Ew.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Road rash? Keanu Reeves?

[xp-darcy.livejournal.com]

Not as good as gender-bend Sexy Alexander Hamilton.

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

Ooooh...good one!

You know, I wish people would start doing unsexy costumes. Like, I don't know, unsexy Fox Mulder or something. You know what I mean.

[xp-darcy.livejournal.com]

The Sexy A.Ham costume isn't actually that bad (just expensive but made with cheap materials)--it's the military outfit with a deeper neckline. I just can't bring myself to pay that much for what's basically a tan bodysuit with some fake brass buttons hanging on the front.

I think I'm going to go as Velma. And not Sexy Velma, just normal Velma.

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

What? Normal Velma isn't sexy?

...My ex was totally crushed out on her actually.

[xp-darcy.livejournal.com]

She totally is! But then people make the sweater tighter, the skirt a lot shorter, the heels taller...

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

Too much work for me!

[x-asgardian.livejournal.com]

Nothing will ever beat this Optimus Prime costume.

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

AMAZING.

Maybe you and I should go trick or treating together. I like your style.

[x-asgardian.livejournal.com]

I'm in. We'll paint the town candy-corn orange!

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Wow, that is impressive!
