For the past few years my girlfriend and I go to a huge Halloween party in Mechanicsbug, PA. Average 150 people, live bands-everything. Well, this year we were going to go as Joliet Jake (me) & Elwood (she). We got the hats, glasses, ties, suits, etc. Last week I had to have surgery on my left shoulder (the 3rd one from an auto accident last Nov). Can't do much of anything for the at least the next 3 weeks. We were so looking forward to representing our blues heroes, and something everyone could relate to. Oh well, there's always next year...

That stinks. It took me several Halloweens between movie discovery and suit acquisition....and I still have never suited up on Halloween. Now I have no suit. Hrmm...

Like you said, hopefully next year!

[MaryAnneBlues]

Dang, that's a bummer. Yes, hopefully next year!

I dressed as Elwood several years ago for Halloween. My get up wasn't super accurate (I wore black Chuck Taylor sneakers. LOL) but I had the black suit, black tie, sunglasses and a hat (but not quite the right hat). Had the harp too! Brought in my Blues Brother's Definitive Collection CD to work and played that.

Thanks all. Yeah it's a drag, not much I can do though. Well at least I get to tease the kids in the neighbourhood with candy...LOL

Hate to break it to you, but you went as Buster Blues.

*shudder*

Please tell me you will NEVER EVER do that again. Ok?

You're forgiven.

I went as who?



*blinks*

Oh. Geeze...ahh...

My apologies. I won't do it again!

(In my defense tho' I actually hadn't even seen BB 2000 yet at the time I wore the costume. Next time tho', baby's gonna need some new shoes...)

[Jo_Pierce]

I recommend 4 inch pumps.

4 inches?! Gaah...I'd fall n' break my neck.

But I'd look sooo good doing it.

Now, if I had had the proper fashion assistance a few years ago, I could've avoided the Buster Blues look (tho' to be honest, I usually don't act my age anyway!) and done a more Blues Sister appropriate get up with either skirt/jacket or pants/jacket.

Baby might still need some new shoes tho'. LOL

And a briefcase.

And....

...a '74 Dodge...

I never work without a net...LOL

How about a 4 inch '74 Dodge? I am sure you could handle THAT!
