Halloween Costumes
My best friend and I are going to be a fish and a fish bowl for Halloween. Does anybody have any tips or experience with making costumes like these?

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
1. safety: try to keep visibility, so you're safe crossing streets, and able to see others on the dance floor/ food table.
2. comfort: can you dance in it? how about sitting down in a chair if you want to rest a minute ...
3. endurance/nutrition: can you drink water/ eat snacks in costume, if not have a plan to take water breaks etc so you don't get dehydrated. (a dehydrated fish is a bad thing)
I'd suggest either a vertical fish costume for the fish, with the head near your head, and the tail at your knees or feet (but leave lots of side room or splits in the side so you can take big steps and dance)
or a horizontal costume with over-the shoulder supports that makes you look like you're riding the fish
for the bowl, i'd suggest a wide cut-out like a frame, of just the silouhette of the bowl. possibly a large hula hoop for the supporting structure?

Well, I'm not totally sure as to how to MAKE a fish costume, but I'm sure there's places where you can buy them. I googled up fish costumes and got some pictures:

But as for the fish bowl, you could try finding an inflatable clear ball and just decorating the inside of it like taping fish to the inside of it and everything and then after you put it on, you just blow air into it so it stays round.
I hope I helped.
