Halloween costume time!

[mangofandango]

You have 45 minutes to suggest a costume for me that fits these specs:

I have very little prep time or supples. I have the clothes in my closet, some funky tights and socks, a frog eyes head band, and some limited makeup supplies. I could dress as a frog with the headband, but I lack flippers and don't know how to make it obvious without them. :) I could be a doll or something, but I think I've done that before.

I have to wear this costume to an elementary school tomorrow.

GO!

When I was a frog for Halloween, I made flippers out of paper that wrapped around my ankles and wrists, if that makes any sense. It worked, but it depends on how durable you need your flippers to be.

Could you be Pippi Longstocking?

Or make some kind of tail and use the frog headband with some creative license and be a lizard?

I was once a pirate with cropped pants, a loose blouse, and I made a patch out of paper, and a newspaper hat with skull and crossbones, and carried a stuffed parrot.

You might be able to throw together a gypsy costume, but I'm not sure if that's P.C.

You could be Mother Goose, like me--I got the idea from my aunt, who's a librarian, and she dressed as Mother Goose last year for work.
