It's Halloween Time Folks!

And that means its time for me to pick a costume. So maybe some of you folks can help me out and vote for the one you think should be the costume for me this year.

Ready? Set? Pick it damn!!!!

First, O-Ren Ishii from Kill Bill

The reasons for this costume choice is because 1) I already own a black kimono and black obi, 2) the only other items I would need is a pair of black Geta with the white socks, a katana (the cheapest one I have seen on eBay that is identical to the one in the movie is about $10), and a severed head. The hair is an issue considering I recently cut my hair. But I think I can style the long black wig that I have to look something similar to that hair style.

Next option, Asami from the movie Audition.


This costume maybe a bit more difficult because I have none of the wardrobe pieces. Nossie can help me make the rubber apron without much difficulty (I think) and I can get the black vinyl gloves off eBay. Her tools such as a syringe and the cutting wire is easy to get. Her white outfit can either be a white nurse's dress or a white short sleeve shirt and a white skirt. The hair is not an issue because the black wig that I have can be styled like that.

Third option, Gogo from Kill Bill.

This costume is on the easy side, at least I believe so. I can get the white knee high socks and the white sneakers without a problem. The skirt is no biggie either. The only issue is the school uniform jacket. I guess I can find it on eBay or go tothe thrift store to find one. The shirt and necktie is not an issue either. Her hair is doable here cause the black wig that I have looks exactly like it with the bangs and all. The chain and ball... I think I can find that at a halloween store.

There was a fourth option, Cho Chang from Harry Potter but everyone who I ran that idea by would shoot it down to hell because 1) the movie with her in it has not been released yet, 2) she not such a popular, well known book character, and 3) only those that would read the book would know who she is anyways. So I am not even going to bother with her or offer her up as a option.

So please, leave your votes via comments and also let me know what you think. Hell, if you have better idea than this, please offer it up.

it as a hard choice indeed, but i think you should go with o-ren ishi. gogo yubari is a very close second, but o-ren is the best badass, so i pick her.

Considering how against Kill Bill I am (on principle, no less) I'm going with Asami.

Not that you'd make a good sadist or anything :-P
