Getting the Halloween Costume Ready

kybearfuzzI've spent a large chunk of the weekend getting stuff together for an upcoming Halloween costume. I went to the local costume shop (not the seasonal Halloween stores, but a real costume shop) to look for a costume. Originally, I had wanted to go dressed as a priest. I bought an online comic called "Bulldogs" and the second issue is about a couple of bearish vicars getting it on. I felt inspired.
However, the priest costume at the shop was cheap and not very interesting. It means a lot of acting on my part to make it fun and I'm not sure I felt up to it. I found another costume for a medieval executioner, a black hooded figure with an axe. I liked the look, but the price was a bit high. Also, the costume seemed cheap again for the price. As I looked at the picture, I realized that I had a lot of the pieces already -- the black boot covers, the arm bands, the pants. So really, I just need the axe and a few costume pieces and it would it be more comfortable.
Tonight, I bought the last couple of pieces at Wal-Mart. I loathe that place, but they did have everything I need, including a wide black belt with a cool buckle that will look neat. I found in the women's belts. I'm sure people looked at me funny, but I've never really given a $#!+ what Wal-Mart shoppers thought of me. Sadly, the belt might be too big (seriously), so I may need to exchange it. That should be fun.
It's late, but luckily I don't have to work tomorrow. I'll post pics of the outfit when I get it done.
