I really love dressing up, so Halloween is my kind of holiday. Even though I love the ghouls, candy, fun, and chilly weather my favorite thing is still dressing up. I’ll use any excuse to put on something silly and unflattering or change my hair color, length or texture.
The only problem is that I always have to out-do myself from previous years. Recently I’ve gone as a party-crashing Kamikaze … literally, with a cardboard-box airplane (which, I realized after being booed, is not PC); a Poo Burglar with toilet paper stuck to my shoe, a robber’s mask, a bag of Tootsie Rolls and a pooper-scooper (I used said pooper-scooper – it was clean – to grab people by the seat of their pants); and an elderly woman decked out in Frosty the Snowman earrings, Christmas wreath socks, Christmas tree-sequined suspenders and a candy-cane turtleneck (I was pretending to be senile and thought I was invited to a Christmas party…get it?).
Okay, maybe I’m not as funny as I think I am, but I really love thinking of costume ideas and making it work. Plus, it’s fun and cheap! This year I’m stressing out about what to be. I keep trying to convince my husband that we should go as Billy Mays (the OxyClean guy) and the Shamwow! guy. That way we can be just as loud and annoying as we are normally, but maybe make a few bucks hawking cleaning products.
So what are you going to be for Halloween?
