iPod Costume - Not this year
The last two years, my son has been an iPod for Halloween. I spent tons of time & cash designing and putting this together. We retired this costume last year, after he was in the local paper.
The costume totally rocked -- in fact, when I made it, there was only one other iPod costume I could find with google. Now there are tons. The costume was backlit & played music. I illuminated the window, and it looked so cool. I built in some portable speakers, connected a real iPod to it, and as we walked around we played the Kids Bop Halloween songs. It was great fun, and by the end of the night he wanted out of the costume since it attracted SOOOO much attention. Cars were stopping.. people getting out just to see the costume.
Even two years ago, most people knew it was an iPod. Only 2 or 3 people thought he was a cell phone.
This year we aren't doing anything elaborate. It's only a few days before halloween, and it looks like we are going to go home made or store bought. It will be the first time in several years he hasn't had the best costume around. I'm beginnging to think his friends don't want to trick or treat with him... nobody even looks at their outfits.
You can tell the costume is now a bit dated. He was only a 20GB iPod.

Man he's a lucky kid. I was lucky if I even went trick or treating...

I am very impressed. I hope when I have kids I am able to be that creative with their costumes!
Awesome!
