Ninja Costumes for Halloween
For those of you who appreciate Halloween for all its shenanigans and excuses to dress up in ridiculous costumes, you might want to consider looking at some ninja costumes. I found a few at Karate Depot. Here’s a description of the offerings:
Our standard ninja costume is $47.95 and includes a Authentic Ninja Uniform (with Hood and Mask), Ninja Hardwood Bokken, and Rubber Sole Ninja Slippers
Our deluxe ninja costume is $67.95 and includes a Authentic Ninja Uniform (with Hood and Mask) Ninja Hardwood Bokken, Long Tabi Boots, and Tabi Socks.
Orders ship in 1 business day. Shipping is $2.95 for ground shipping. We’ve been in business since 1999 and ship over 100,000 orders a year.
If I thought I could pull off what the guy at Ask A Ninja does, then I’d consider it. I may have to reuse my Pimp costume from last year.
Oh dear, PLEASE don’t let Eric get wind of this or I’ll have to contend with his ninja antics for WEEKS!!!
I’ve only been to two Halloween parties.
The first, at UK, I went as Jesus. I had a (real) beard and long hair, bedsheet robe, some sandles, and a 6 ft cross knocked together with 4X4s. But the topper was my crown of thorns. A little fake vine, some surgical tubing, some fake blood, and that sucker bled! The cross was a little unwieldy at the keg, but style over susbstance does it at times like that.
The second was when Reagan was President. I went in a business suit and a full head, crazy rubber Reagan mask topped with a grey suit and tie. My wife went as a bag of jelly beans made from a drycleaning bag filled with her and lots of balloons. My schtick ws to stick my tongue out of the mask and wiggle it around ala Gene Simmons. Not nearly as cinematic as Jesus, but it scared way more people than the fake blood. Besides, we came in second in a contest where a fake Michael Jackson (at about the 3 facelift stage) kept moonwalking everywhere.
Sadly, no pictures of either even survived. I think I drunkenly dropped them in the toilet at one of the parties.
nicole: Hahaha! I’d love to see him blog about his Ninja adventures.
Poobah: Jesus and then Reagan… wow, I REALLY wish you had kept pictures. It seems like youngsters don’t go to the “JESUS” lengths anymore for costumes.
Hmmm…a ninja. I might have to do it!
Phoenix: If you do, you better take pictures!
I’ve never dressed up as a ninja before, but I remember when I was a kid and trick-or-treating, we went to a house that had five teenage guys living with the parents. As we approached the house, the guys were all in the bushes, dressed as ninjas and they came creeping out. Scared the bejabbers (yes, bejabbers) out of me. The costumes were effective.
Tara: Now, THAT was a great idea. I wonder if it would work as well if the ninjas in the bushes were almost 30 years old…
That might be even scarier, which is appropriate. In my eyes, back then, those guys looked like adults, although they may have been in their late teens.
Tara: If it didn’t sound like an idea that might end up with mandatory jail time, I might consider it.
