I was wondering if anyone was going to be a LED for Halloween this year and I didn't need to look further than Flickr for some clues... Here's one - Link.

Shouldn't they both have one leg shorter than the other. I want realism, dammit!

To me the green one looks like something else.

TommySez:
Their poses would indicate that they are attempting to have one leg longer then the other.

The second one looks more like a weird green condom.

Definitely, the green costume is not really LED like (its ends are curling up, and the ballet pants look mischievous. Plus the green apple color).
But it's a pretty economical costume. Not sure it's conversational though. :)

Wearing one black sock+shoe on one foot might give a fair approximation of having one leg shorter than the other. Now what about dressing up as a transistor :)
