La Alaskeña

And I need a costume. Apparently Halloween at my workplace is A Big Deal. As in, I got asked about my costume in August. Last year I wore a pair of cat ears. That’s it. Well, I mean, in addition to jeans and a t-shirt. I’m a Halloween cop-out.

My ideas so far:

Alice in Wonderland

Ehhhh… then again, a pinafore is not my best look.

Holly Golightly

But I work in a pharmacy, so we hear Golightly but think Go-Lytely and that’s not what I want to evoke.

Scarlett O’Hara

And if you think I wouldn’t use it as an excuse to adopt a fake Southern accent and say things like “I’ve got the vapors!” all day, then I guess you don’t know me very well, do you?

The Green Fairy

Let’s get this Halloween party started! Oh wait. Not appropriate for work. Or anywhere, ever.

Lady Gaga

Mmmk, so I know the dress code says I can’t wear jeans, but can I just forego pants altogether? No? Not ok?

Chuck from Pushing Daisies

I’d have to spend all day explaining it. Chuck. Yeah, a girl named Chuck. From a television show cancelled too soon. And then I’d start sobbing and have to run to the ladies’ room. At least I’d have pie to comfort me.

Most of my ideas would be things I’d have to explain all day. I’m Harriet the Spy/Theda Bara/Joan from Mad Men, you philistine! So yeah, any suggestions for costumes that are easily recognizable but not slutty would be much appreciated.
