Okay here are my entries; Blink as a space alien (she didn't want to be a caveman) and Hank as Elvis (but he looks more like Liberace or a has-been rock star).[Image Can Not Be Found]

BLINK! Yiu are THE most stylish Alien on the Planet! And your antennae...nice touch of glitz! That adorable little Space Jockey hitching a ride on you..he's a cutie pie! Blink, the expressiin on your face, combined with your "stance"...priceless!!
HANK!! Elvis never looked so charming!! The replication of Elvis's cape is SPECTACULAR!! The attention to detail boogles my mind! "Ain't Nottin' but a Hound Dawg" keeps playing in my head! The glasses...a perfect accessory to a well coiffed hairdo! Elivserace you rock!!
Like some others here, Miss Penny sews all her own costumes! Quite a talent who happens to have a very creative mind!!
GRRRRREAT job Penny! Thanks for getting this thread started again this year!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

Myrtle is stylin' attire from "The Boutique of Amazon". Green apron, green hat, Starbucks badges, all from Amazon...loving me some Amazon Prime!
If she can't get on at Starbucks, perhaps she can be a model for Amazon!

Oh my Dog, Starbucks Employee of the Month?! THAT'S GREAT!!!! And I love the outtakes!
I think it's wonderful you guys are able to get your fur-babies costumed. Just putting collars on my girls is like putting pantyhose on an octopus! I'm so jealous!

These are the best pictures!!! We're not nearly as on top of Halloween costumes as we were last year in this house... I'm working on Domino and Finn's costumes after work today!! In the meantime here's Domino in his "Rufferee" outfit for next weeks Pucks and Paws hockey game!!

Domino had his left front leg amputate on May 13th 2014 after being hit by a car. He's now living a happy healthy life on three legs :)
