About two years ago I was invited to a Halloween party... I wasn't interested in spending any money on a one night outfit so I didn't take it seriously.
All my friends had their costumes ready long before the date, and when the day arrived, I was the only one without a costume. But I kept thinking "whatever, I'll find something on the way."
Before the party, we went to a movie forum of Persepolis. I don't know why I'm telling you which movie it was because it's irrelevant to the story... Oh right because it's a great movie.
One of my favorite scenes from Persepolis (2007) Dir. Marjane Satrapi, Vincent Paronnaud. (Perhaps this was an influence...)
ANYWAY
The forum was at some highschool, and before we arrived there, I had the idea of dressing as a trash bag. Literally, a trash bag.
But as easy as my idea was, I didn't have a big black trash bag (this is such a weird sentence) to wear. So we decided to steal one from the school.
What? I said I wasn't going to spend any money on that costume!
It was saturday. The school was obviously empty. But because of the event, there were guards walking around... AND CAMERAS EVERYWHERE.
So we finally found one perfectly clean and empty trash bag near a bathroom. I had my friends watching my back and I started taking out the trash bag and quickly hiding it inside my bag.
Like a second after I finished doing that, a guard walks by to check on us (a bunch of teens looking suspicious as usual). But we pretended to be coming out of the bathroom and everything was okay.
After that, we had to wait on this "bar" (literally a neighbourhood's alley with the cheapest beers in town) and we sat on the floor to drink. I started cutting the wholes where my legs, arms and eyes where supposed to go.
I know it's not much to be proud of, but: I DID IT PERFECTLY AT FIRST TRY.

Back to the story... It was kind of hot inside the trash bag, but I put my costume on and we went to the party. It covered all of my face and body except for the legs, arms and eyes.
IT CAUSED FUSS. The people at the party (which I knew very few or none) were laughing so much and claimed it was the best costume ever.
But the funniest part was how much they were intrigued not being able to see my face, or anything that was under it (I was wearing shorts and a skin tone shirt, I'm not that crazy). And I, of course, didn't reveal much. I was in my character.
