Cardiac Costumes

Halloween. 

When I was a wee one, I dressed up as your standard, run-of-the-mill Halloween characters. Let's be real: when you're 4 years old, you can pretty much dress up in a potato sack and still look adorable. 

Dawwww

Angel with an attitude. 

(Was I cute, or was I cute?)

Now that I no longer have the "cute-in-anything" factor working for me, I have to be a lot more creative with my costume choices. (Side note: sexy ___nurse/cat/fill in the blank___ isn't ever cute in my book. That's just trashy.) 

If you know me at all, you know that I am a huge fan of puns and plays on words. I love having pun battles with my friends (like rap battles, but way cooler). As such, I like my Halloween costumes to reflect my witty side. This year, I want my costume to correspond with heart-related humor. My brain is chalk-full of puns and such, but there are a lot less options when you're trying to portray those jokes in a costume. 

Here's a list of a few ideas I've come up with so far. 

Cardiac Arrest

• Red / white clothes
• Heart-themed accessories
• Handcuffs
• "Arrest" people with the cuffs. Get it? Heh heh. 

Heart Attack

• Red/white clothes
• Cut out a bunch of paper hearts 
• Throw hearts at people when they ask you what you are

Queen of Hearts

• Dress up like the infamous villain from Alice in Wonderland, but replace cartoon hearts with anatomically-correct hearts

Bleeding Heart

• Red clothes
• Lots of fake blood

Any other suggestions? I'm looking for something cheap and witty. I can heart-ly wait to read your ideas!
