Last year for Halloween Patrick & I were altar boy and priest, respectively. I was happy with the idea because we were cutely themed (if politically incorrect) and we didn’t run into any other couples in the same costume, though I did hear later there was another floating around Salt Lake.

This year I’m making it more difficult: I want a four-person theme. And I’m out of ideas.

Patrick & I and our friends Darrell & Scott (not a couple, by the way) need a truly great costume idea for the club gay-la on Friday night. Initially I suggested the Golden Girls, but I agree it’s overdone and I don’t think all involved (read: Patrick and Scott) will do the whole drag bit, even for Halloween. The wimps.

So, what should a group of four guys be for Halloween? I know someone out there has the perfect idea.

There are restrictions though. We tend to be a picky bunch (except for Darrell, whose little body and lovably scattered brain allows him to do just about anything), so I’ll outline some things first:

1—As I said above, drag components must be limited to two of the costumes. Preferably one, as I’m not thrilled about the idea. But I will do it with Darrell if it’s a great idea.
2—Revealing or extraordinarily tight clothing must be limited to two as well. Preferably one, as Patrick will not be thrilled about the idea. But he will do it with Darrell if it’s a great idea.
3—It would be great if one costume was that of a 22-year-old gay man and consisted of everyday clothing, as Scott’s favorite Halloween costume is titled Scott in Everyday Clothing.
4—Darrell is already insisting on wearing a huge, horrible, homemade wedding dress (including big snap-on bow on the ass) that he found at the D.I. (local Mormon thrift store) for $35. That and a hideous, big red wig…

So try to incorporate all those items into your suggestions, mmmkay?
