I have had a tough time keeping Cockeyed.com updated because all my free time has been spent working on my Halloween costume for this year.

Here are some more submissions by readers for the Cockeyed.com Halloween Costume Contest. 

Hey Rob,

Seeing folk put effort into costumes inspired me to make this. I think it's 
probably the thing I'm most proud of in my whole life, which is sad and says 
a lot about the world we live in.

Point being, thought you might enjoy seeing the fruits of the Cockeyed 
inspiraion. I was going to do full photo diary of the process, but ran out 
of time and working cameras. The head is made from 2 swim-caps painted 
pink, with foam eyes and a rubber glove (including cotton padding inside my 
mouth to get the voice right). The claws are gloves with foam eggs cut to 
shape.

It made it a little difficult to get to my pockets and handle objects (thus 
the straw) but having a great costume means not having to worry about your 
wallet, as folk will volunteer drinks to hear amazing tales of costume 
design.

Have a good Halloween!

The theme of the party was Night of the Living Dead.  We went as Patsy Cline and Buddy Holly, with a twist.  We forgot to take pictures of the construction, but the planes started as large sheets of cardboard, not boxes, so there was quite a bit of work involved.

The head was my first attempt at this years costume. However, once
completed I came to the realization that I could neither see nor drink
with it on.

At that point I decided to be a dead republican. I had cards I handed
out that said ZOMBIE for Congress "I will NEVER eat your brains"

So my second costume attempt came off as a big hit (lots of Dems).
Later on into the drunk evening I brought out the big green head and
the remaining party attendees really freaked out.

I may have to do something similar next year. Wait until everyone is
good and sauced and then break out something large and weird. Drunk
freak outs are very entertaining.

And yes I too stole your idea. That head was inspired by your
expanding foam fish head.

Rob-
Here is my costume from a few years ago. My sister and I wondered what would be the funniest thing to see a cowboy riding as it was the height of Woody costumes from Toy Story and every little kid on our block was a cowboy riding a horse. I think the pictures show that we chose the logical choice... an ostrich.
