Halloween in October

I have been thinking about Halloween costumes for awhile now. Actually, I think about Halloween costumes all year round, so it was great that we had that Halloween in May Party.

The two costumes I am considering for this Halloween are Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Sacagawea Emerged from the Gold Coin. Some may call this cheating, but I have been both before. I was Buffy, however, in 9th grade, so it can definitely be recycled this year. Sacagawea was my senior year of college costume, so while it's a little soon to re-do, I will be with an entirely new group of people. Plus, that costume ruled, and I would love to do it again.

If I were Buffy, I think I could pull together a costume from my wardrobe. I think I still have quite a few crucifixes around somewhere (People don't get so creative for First Communion and Confirmation gifts). If I didn't find one, I'm sure I could buy one somewhere. Having to purchase a crucifix reminds me of one of my favorite Arrested Development quotes:
Maeby: Where can I get one of those necklaces with a "t" on it?
Michael: That's a cross.
Maeby: Across from where?

Ha ha ha.

All I would really need for Buffy is a stake.

For Sacagawea, well I need a lot of gold fabric and ribbon and rope. And a baby doll to spray gold considering the baby from that costume ended up in pieces, a little at Gaffney's, a little at DA's, the rest in a garbage can on Broadway (Thanks, Dan!).

I'm not ruling out other options, but for lack of a new better idea, these are the two possibilities right now. Open to suggestions...
