The notes for my long-delayed Fly costume.This is the first time in while in which I've had enough lead time to make a decent Halloween getup rather than just chuck on a funny hat and improvise, so I want to do it up right. I'm gonna need a couple of large pieces of foam, preferably black, a hot glue gun, a box cutter, some decent shears (I can borrow just the ones I need from the design 'ho house), some black pipe cleaners to simulate fly hair, and a white lab coat, and it's my goal to obtain all of these elements during a shopping excursion into Manhattan on Saturday, hopefully accompanied by a couple of my toothsome lady friends. Trust me, guys, you want to accompany chicks during Halloween costume shopping, a holy mission in which even the dowdiest of office types gears up for the magic day when she can unleash her inner exhibitionist/slut. I have yet to fulfill my dream of getting it on with a fellow Halloween reveler who has decked herself out as any of the following:
- Supergirl
- She-Hulk (that one could get messy thanks to the green body paint, but who cares?)
- Zombie nurse
- Zombie French maid (or just plain old French maid, for that matter)
- A skyscraper (provided I was dressed as Godzilla)
- Vampire biker chick
- Vampire geisha
- Half-mummified Cleopatra (it's all about the elaborate headgear, and unraveling bandages revealing skin that smells of Shea butter)
- Smurfette (a certain Canadian I know is perfect for this one)
- Red-headed mermaid (she can lose the tail during the main event, but the wig must stay on!)
- Savage jungle girl (tattered leopard print bikini and spear are required)
- Hawkgirl (the helmet and winged harness must stay on!)
- Zombie Marilyn Monroe
- Pam Grier as seen in THE ARENA
- A demoness/succubus with calf-length black hair (and maybe a claw necklace)

I'd try and avoid On-The-Raggedy Anne.
FYI.
