I am dressed as a Slovenian.
Jason Ğrotě.
some of my costume ideas this year were:
marty mcfly (the puffy vest/checked shirt/etc turn out to be really hard to get, and it's been done before)
mork (because I have rainbow suspenders and blue pants, but I don't have the chest hair or tight striped shirt)
talk in "deaf" voice (offensive)
michael dukakis
But instead I am going to wear my venetian mask:

A friend of mine wants to go all out and do a commedia dell'arte character. Then we thought he could do Dante and his ladyfriend Beatrice. This then switched to Dante and Bea Arthur, and then Dante from Clerks and Bea Arthur.
I did my favorite costume ever like 2 years ago. I have these tiny wooden horns and I was able to wear them in a way that my poofy hair covered the leather strap and most of the horns. As a result a few people didn't notice I was wearing them for quite a while and then it was a shock. Like, "hey, you're Satan." "Yep."
