Drewbie's Halloween Costume Contest

As anyone who's been on this site for any length of time can attest, Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love coming up with creative and unique costume ideas and competing in costume contests and I'd be lying if I didn't say I love the costumes some of the girls come up with ;) . Last year, a friend and I went dressed as the Ambiguously Gay Duo and took second place in the Mall of Amecica costume contest and won $500 cash. The year before that I made a new costume from an old gorilla costume I had. I was a bloody torso being held by the gorilla with my guts hanging out the bottom. That was probably my best one ever, though sadly, that one didn't win.

Anyways, I'm getting off topic. I started this thread as a costume contest for the members of TN. It's not an official contest by TN, nor is it endorsed by them in any way. I'm putting out 4 category's for the contest.

[b]Categories[/b]
Best Male Costume

Best Female Costume

Best Duo/Group in Costume

Sexiest Costume (can be male or female, but admittedly this will probably go to a woman unless I find it funnier to give it to a guy)

[b]Rules:[/b]
1. The pictures must be of costumes for this year. You can bust out last years costume to use for the contest, but the picture has to have been taken after 9/22/05.

2. You may submit pictures for other category's provided you are in the picture. For example, your costume might suck, but you see a guy with a sweet costume. Get a pic with the guy and your picture might win.

3. Pictures must be within the guildlines of the TN TOS and must be appropriate for all ages. Pictures that do not meet this rule can be e-mailed to my personal e-mail address. These pictures, though not elligible for the contest, will help keep Drewbie a happy guy.

4. All entries must be submitted by Nov. 9th at 9:00 p.m. for consideration.

[b]Prizes[/b]
Depending on number of entries, there may or may not be a prize. Maybe it'll be a congratulatory e-mail. Maybe I put $2 towards that mountain bike you want. Maybe I buy $500 of your childs girlscout cookies. We'll figure that out on the way. Plus, who knows, this thing might suck and no one will even play.

Good Luck!

This is an intresing idea. I hope people actually play cause it's could be fun. No dressing up for me thought this year as i'll be working all the time or traveling around the state to haunted houses.

I can't wait to see some of the pictures though.

If I can find one of my old halloween costumes maybe I'll take a picture in it.
One of them won me 2nd in my school's halloween contest two years ago.

Wow, not sure where that came from. I think you spammed a thread of mine once and I called you on it. Guess that means I'm just a jerk to all. I think you'd be hard pressed to find many on this site (xbadx doesn't count) that share your point of view there big guy.

On topic now, I helped a few friends figure out costumes this weekend. Just from the pics I take alone there'll be some stiff competition.

And for future reference, if you're gonna not do something, just don't do it. There's no reason to make a post and a spectacle of yourself just to say, "I'm not playing cause I'm gonna pout in the corner."

Ok, my pics will be going up tonight. My costume turned out pretty well and I ended up with some prizes from the contest we went to.

Anyone else?
