Currently my look could be called "What Mormons think happens to exmos" i.e. no makeup, old sweats, messy hair, clinging to a cup of coffee like it was a lifeboat from the Titanic. But it's not really a costume - I just had a late night yesterday. LOL
Today I'm dressing up as a happily married man with no family problems whatsoever. Tomorrow I go back to reality.
Saturday I dressed up in jeans and a long-sleeved black shirt, and a day's worth of beard. No one got that I was dressed as Steve Jobs. I guess I needed a bald head and round glasses to complete the effect.
Dress up like JS and take 6 or more teenage girls with you as wives. Have them introduce themselves. I'm ---- and I am 16, JS's --th wife of the prophet and I am a Mormon.
Not dressing up today, but on Saturday night my wife and I went to a Halloween party dressed as Carl and Ellie Fredrickson from the movie "UP". We are both a bit too tall for those parts, but the ballons and square glasses helped nail it...
I was so tempted to go for the Samuel the Lamanite get-up but I chickened out. This is arizona, after all. I don't want to get stuck in a conference room with HR...
Last year my exmo sister and I were polygamists! It was so freakin hilarious, we had the dresses with pants underneath, the hair, no makeup EVERYTHING! My sisters exmo husband was Warren Jeffs and he wore an orange jumpsuit with prisoner number 1832. Needless to say we offended several mo's at a family party! I wish i could post pics!!
What's it like being LDS in Quebec? I assume you are/were LDS from a previous post about missionary work.
I've been to Quebec twice now. It's the *least* LDS place I've ever been (I've never been to Europe). I think I forgot the LDS Church even existed a couple times in Quebec.
I went to Montreal with a friend to visit her gay son who was living with a female heterosexual college student. No raised eyebrows, stinkeyes, or sidelong glances. Just people being who they really are without any need to pretend, or hide from truth to keep up appearances. The only thing my friend wanted her son to be was happy. They were all nominally Catholic, but probably hadn't been to mass in years. No one had any desire to show me any Catholic cathedrals or shrines (though I'm sure they would have if I'd asked), teach me about Catholicism, or even know which religion (if any) I considered mine. All that Catholic stuff was just in the background, and while certainly a part of their heritage, didn't play any role in dictating how they chose to live their lives or feel about themselves. Not that I have any desire to become a Catholic, but it seemed the Catholic Church hadn't left these people scarred, mind-fucked, and guilt-ridden like the LDS Church seems to leave so many of its former practicing members.
I love my Rathman :). The dogs are going to be Bride and Groom. My boy has a new tux and Angel has a lovely beaded lace wedding gown and veil. If I can get her to leave the veil on. This will be her first Halloween and I am not so sure what she is going to do. I will have a tight hold on both leads and DH will hand out the candy.
Everyone remember to take their dogs out early and make sure they are secure before the kids come around. And PLEASE folks, if you take your dog out to walk around with you and the kids DO NOT TAKE THEM UP TO THE DOORS.
I dressed as a 1960s Mod. It was fun, especially since I have quite the plethora of clothes. It was no problem finding the right dress. I love Halloween!
