to a virtual Hallowe'en Party on Wondercafe, what kind of costume would you wear? (Virtual means money, sewing ability, and material availability are not a problem , what would you dress yourself up as?)
Gosh! Most of the fun of dressing up for me is seeing what costume I can make at minimum cost - an old green sheet once made a surgeons 'greens' while my husband wore his pajamas and housecoat and dressed as my patient. A large remnant of grey material made a shroud that, with accessories, has gone to parties on my son, daughter, friends and me for over twenty years. /
/
So virtual - price and skill no object. I'm thinking Eve leaving the garden of Eden. Virtual also means a slim, youthful body. My costume would be flesh-coloured and fit like a second skin. I would have flowers in my hair and perhaps a few fig leaves strategically placed.

I went to a party once as the Grim Reaper, complete with red paint on a scythe. No one ever figured out who I was. It seemed sort of morbid, so although I still have the costume, wouldn't do that again.
Think it would be fun to go as a squirrel, raccoon or rabbit....upright of course.
A kangaroo would be fun....but I can't hop.
A bit difficult to go out as a whale....maybe a dolphin - fish out of water....

What would "Wonder Cafe" as a costume look like, Wolfie?
Green Lantern - I think the boys of the Big Bang Theory might loan you their green lanterns for the right price, Rev John.
I'm not ready for the grim reaper yet naman, please pass me by.

One classic (iconic, even) costume that I have never actually done is the 1931 Bela Lugosi Dracula. You know the one. Tux, long black cape, slicked back hair, fangs. Alas, with the current state of my hairline, the 1922 Nosferatu version (bald, hideous, rat-like fangs, clawlike fingers) is probably more realistic.
Lugosi:

She did indeed have a long tusk. I seem to recall it was made from a tube and covered in the same fabric that she used for the rest of the costume.

I think I may have hit on a timely and winning costume.
Just have to work out a few kinks.
I hope to go as Senator Duffy, my daughter will tag along as Nigel Wright.
When the door opens I will not yell "Trick of Treat" but rather, "Give me my entitlements."
When the homeowner complies, and they will or I will rise to defend my good name with a prepared speech, I will not thank them but I will turn and leave.
Then my daughter will spring into action by cutting a fake cheque to the homeowner reimbursing them for the cost of the entitlements.
I wish I had thought of this last week. As it just popped into my mind this morning I don't have the time to put everything together.
, what would you dress yourself up as?)
