GNU Free Documentation License What is the best halloween costume for me? Q. I'm a young girl, really 10 years old. For the past two years, I have been a nurse and don't laugh a barbie cheerleader. Not my idea of a great costume. I already chose my costume for this year, but I want to know what I should be next year. I have black hair up to my shoulders and I am about a regular sized person. My eyes are huge and I have my ears pierced. Help me! Asked by Kathleen M - Fri Oct 26 19:58:51 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. i think you should be an egyptian :) its fun to dress up and you dont look like a moron, you actually look glammed up and pretty. you seem to have perfect features for it! and you dont need to buy much as long as you have eyeliner, shadow, maybe some cheap jewlery and an elaborately decorative dress which im sure you could get from a thrift store. i dressed up as one and i found a perfect long black dress with gold design and jewels and stuff on it. it was pretty cool :P and totally fun! another suggestion could be a vampire (the black hair would do good, and come on vampires are awesome xD) or a killer schoolgirl. thats what im going as this year :D Answered by sugarbye - Sun Oct 28 01:51:04 2007 When do you start looking for a Halloween Costume?
