My greatest Halloween costume ever

I think it's time to dedicate an entire post to one of my proudest creations: 

The Double Dare costumes 

Growing up I can't remember a single time that my parents bought my brother or I a Halloween costume. They were always handmade... it only seemed fitting to carry on the tradition into my adult years!

Armed with a grocery cart full of plain red shirts and shorts, elbow & knee pads, iron on printer paper, orange fabric, lime green paint, plastic drinking glasses and bicycle helmets I set to work on our costumes

 

In an attempt to give credit where credit was due... my dad took our origianly idea of simply hot glueing the cups to the helmets a step further and worked his fatherly magic creating some seriously good looking Double Dar helmets! (Don't ask me how he did it... there was a grinder and bondo of some sort involved)

Our costumes were a huge hit,  I can't tell you how many people have asked if they could have them. To which my response is basically hell no. (Heh what just being honest)

Somewhere in the past two years since being DD contestants all the components have turned up missing, so who knows if the DoubleDare costume will ever get to live out it's glory again... but my trusty helmet is in the trunk of my car! Never know when you may want to bust that bad boy out!

Go Red Team!! Pie in the pants, pie in the pants!
