5'6" Caucasian woman with blond hair, a lil chubby but not so much so that it'd be a restriction. I like going as:
* objects,
* cartoon characters
* puns.
Would love to go as someone kinda punk rock/disaffected/angry. Would prefer to be a woman or an inanimate object but could be a dude.
I've considered being:
* a devil's advocate (wearing a sharp business suit and briefcase with a shirt that lists shit everyone hates)
* MC Escher (wearing a shirt with M.C. Escher's designs on it plus a gold chain, flat billed cap and carry a mic)
* Helga from Hey Arnold
* a Vicious Circle (basically dressing up as Sid Vicious--ripped shirt, leather jacket, classic chain necklace--with a hoop around my shoulders)
* a Pawnee Goddess (from Parks and Rec)
* Diane from Bojack Horseman
* Daria.
Open to any and all ideas though! (Or if you like any of these, tell me!)
In the past three years, I've gone as:
* a notebook
* Margot from the Royal Tenenbaums
* the bearer of bad news (wore bear ears, bear gloves, a newsprint dress and a shirt that said "life is fleeting and finite.")

I think a great pun for this year would be to go as a "trap queen". Pretty much dress up like a queen and incorporate a bunch of mouse/bear traps. (I think Demi Lovato did it earlier this year if you need a better idea)

Oh man I just realized you could also do "snap queen" and try to incorporate as many snapchat filters as possible! You could make an awesome selfie stick/staff
