I Gave Her my Heart, She Gave Me a Pen As promised: This was my Halloween costume for the year. Unfortunately, in thinking out all the various parts of the costume--having the boombox actually play "In Your Eyes" from a concealed iPod, making a fake Clash shirt, etc.--I neglected to consider that, unlike my garage where I constructed it, most homes have fairly low ceilings. So for most of the party (as in this picture) the arms were not fully extended. Looked great in the backyard though, with the boombox a full two feet above my head.

Posted by: The Hearn on December 4, 2008 8:19 PM Okay... I just have to say that's an awesome costume! Posted by: Dave2 on December 4, 2008 8:24 PM Fantastic! I wish more people (myself included) were creative (and detailed) with their costumes. Enough with the sexy kittens, already. Posted by: sweetcheese on December 4, 2008 8:47 PM Bravo! Ha haha! Nicely done! I'm guessing that the crowd loved it! Posted by: Rob Cockerham on December 4, 2008 10:20 PM Legendary. Gen X lives! Posted by: wildsoda on December 4, 2008 11:13 PM Excellent.

Posted by: Kris on December 5, 2008 2:24 AM So for most of the party (as in this picture) the arms were not fully extended. Great costume still. Posted by: Kathy on December 5, 2008 2:52 AM Love it, Lloyd. I can handle that song stuck in my head on any day! Posted by: Imanitsud on December 5, 2008 7:03 AM The Hearn, at least you got away with just the song. I needed to go download, I mean, run to the video store to rent the freakin' movie.

Posted by: HDC on December 5, 2008 12:51 PM This is one of my top two favorite costumes that I have ever seen in my life. Awesome. Posted by: Allison on December 5, 2008 7:32 PM Yes. I believe this is in the dictionary next to awesome. Posted by: R on December 5, 2008 8:53 PM That's brilliant. Posted by: HeyJoe on December 10, 2008 4:33 PM Frankly, I'm impressed that you had the forethought to make arms that could be anchored at two different heights! Nice job!
