Um... A lab coat? Sorry I can't be of much help!

You've got to have sandals.  And the lab coat, definitely.  Those are going to be easiest, though.

The claws... hmm.  I don't know if there are any lobster costumes.  Hell, since it's so far from Halloween, I wouldn't even know where you could find a place to look. :\  You might half to improvise on them.  Oh!  Maybe a pair of bright red mittens for the base, and then paper-maché around them?

As for the glove, try blowing it up a little and tying it.  Maybe?

Oh, I wish I were more creative.  I'm a writer, though, not a costume designer! :P

i forgot to mention, i live in israel and the party will be during "purim" holiday- which is "the costumr holiday"- everybody make their own or buy costumes for such parties, so there will be many stores that sell costumes items... so if there is something i should buy, just tell me what should i look for...

and thanks for all the tips  it helps alot 

about the glove, i thought about blowing it up, but then how will i attach it to my face? i would need to tie it up and then there will be only tiny spot to attach it...

Slightly disturbing I think....

Heh, wow. 

But the face and claws definitely look like painted paper-maché. 

There's a source for ideas, anyway.

They look like shoe forms. You know, the things they add in the shoe to keep the shape of the front half of the shoe so you don't cram your foot in. Those look to be something from a highheel, or perhaps a tennisshoe.
