Halloween

I love Halloween. I’ve been a fairy princess, a Roaring 20’s flapper, Ginger from Gilligan’s Island (I was 23), FBI Agent Scully, even an “Angel” Investor (hey, it was 1999.) Halloween’s a time when we can all dress up

and be someone that we’re not or just relish in some twisted idea of what we think is clever. I once saw a guy dressed in a full, bright-blue leotard with a rubber chicken hanging around his neck with a rope. He was Chicken Cordon Bleu.

There is a great site that has some wonderful ideas: Queen of Hearts, Wilma Flintstone, the Bride of Frankenstein, or the entire cast of Hairspray.

Here’s one of my favorites because I think every girl should have a Flapper Costume in their Halloween box. Just grab some long black gloves, a long pearl necklace and your favorite black Mary Janes. If your hair isn’t short, get the flapper wig — it’s $17.

This Halloween my entire block wants to address Halloween as a united front – as Princess Leia. We are buying up the entire stock of Princess Leia wigs. What are you going to be?
