Argh

I am alive and at work but I am not sure how long I am going to make it. Why couldn't this have waited until after halloween?

Last night I had a budget meeting and rockband to go to. I didn't get to either. I also didn't hang out with [livejournal.com profile] gwangi. Nope, I went home, took a bath and watch tv on my laptop all evening until I fell asleep.

So, if I am not sick tomorrow, do you think this costume (Alice in Resident Evil) is okay for work:



I just have to get the dress together but that shouldn't take too long tonight. Otherwise I will just go to target and buy something cheesy. Or wear my space girl costume (now with a blue wig!)

Um. I would say it would be appropriate if you took photos!

LOL. No matter what I'll be wearing it on Saturday so there will be pictures.

I am thinking it should be the space girl costume. I would just have to figure out boots because my old pair fell apart.

I think it sounds great. Keep in mind, my opinion of "work-safe" Halloween costumes may not be quite... standard. Because Halloween is my workplace's anniversary, we always go ALL out for the holiday. So much so that our CEO told one of my coworkers who always comes up with a creative and/or offensive costume to go all out, even after we instated new company policies regarding wearing clothes, not being offensive, etc. on normal days (He's been a used maxi-pad, Towelie, Domo-Kun, aborted fetus, Tranny Crack-Whore Barbie, Leather Bondage Big Bird...)

My work is pretty cool, I think I could get away with it *IF* I wasn't falling out of the top all the time. Sometimes being well endowed is a pain.

Plus she wears a black leather coat a lot in the movie.

I guess it just depends on if I can get it done for tomorrow. However, there is a $100 gas card on the line!

Yeah, my work gives some pretty sweet prices for costumes.

Yeah, I think a big part of the chastity of that outfit is her flat chest. With a leather jacket over, it would be okay.

I think that if you don't want to wear it at work, you can wear it over at our house! Giggety!

I think it would be supercool!

I know! Since I am making the dress tonight I could just make the top have a little more fabric that it does in the photo so I don't feel like I am flashing everyone.

Ok, I have made up my mind.

I think this outfit is OK as long as you lengthen the black skirt a little. Alice can rock the crotch-length skirt when she's kicking ass, but you might have to bend over some time at your office. ;-)

I am going with shorts that are a little longer than that. Mostly because I am a total klutz

Yeah! I'm always bumping into things and forgetting that I have food on my shirt. I'm sure I'm a joy to work with.

The costume itself is fine, but they might have issues with you bringing automatic weapons and a pistol to the office.
