Does anyone have ideas for a Stones-related Halloween costume? Am headed out to see Bobby Keys on Halloween & thought something Stones related would be fitting for the night!!

Thanks!

If you could make yourself look like this, you could scare the pants off most anybody:

I know someone who went as the VL zombie -- nobody knew what the hell he was supposed to be lol.

Thanks Little Queenie... I found that one for Keith, which I really wanted, but everywhere I've checked has been out of stock. I was thinking of wrapping my hair in little braids with beads, get a skull ring and miscellaneous other items & still try to go as Keith. Although, the link to the Mick mask you posted might just do!t do!! We're trying to come up with something creative... thanks for the leads!!

Keith 1981

How about a Devil's outfit with a Goat's head mask?

just bring a ghettoblaster and play "streets of love" very loud...people will be terryfied ;-)

You could go dressed up as the Balloon they used in the 1975 tour of America??? ha..

I may try to print the Keith mask off on some heavy paper and use it.

I have that Mick mask! LOL!!!

I just noticed that the Keith mask is from the '81 tour when Jovan sponsored them. WMET, an old Chicago radio station is also shown on the lower right.

I actually do have a small replica of the blimp that they rode in... I was trying to think of how I could incorporate that into a costume, with no great ideas... yet!

Thanks for all the suggestions...

Hey, wineaux!

Whatever you decide on, how about posting a pic?

I did a latter era Keith a couple years ago -- slight exaggeration by tying a small blue Revolutionary War soldier in my wig braid instead of the usual beads. Gold pants with a fuscia shirt open the waist, bracelet and a LOT of wrinkle lines.

For me it was all in the character.
I modeled the voice after the interviews from Hail Hail Rock and Roll. I've always loved the way Keith says, "You know" it sounds more like "You-uh"
Throw in a bunch of --
"Gold Rings on you"
"It's good to be here; it's good to be anywhere"
and slagging Mick for not wanting to record and tour enough.

i remember 'MET well!

Little Queenie... thanks for the info above. I just received the 'Mick' mask... now I just need to be creative & see what I can come up with. This might be a challenge to try to take a woman's body & make it into Mick!

where is bobby keyes playing on halloween, btw? in chicago?

I still have a couple of those Keith masks. They also made a Mick jagger mask and a McCartney !!

A bowl of red rose petals. Or a bucket of water. Or a confetti spitting dragon. Or Keith's coke snot.

Just use the cover of the Sticky Fingers vinyl.

Fitzgerald's.... here's the info from their website:
