Who’s dressing up for Halloween? In past years I’ve been a dead stewardess, handed out candy dressed as the Ghost of Donna Reed (white makeup, early sixties flip hairdo, Salvation Army polyester dress, and an empty casserole dish) and joined the Husband as a member of the Dead Altar Boys (the world’s only All Ghoul Heavy Metal Gospel band — I played bass). This year, I don’t know if I should shed my normal daywear — leopard skin leggings, chinchilla coat, tiara, pink mules — for something crazy.
In the meantime, here are a few items for the haunted house:
The Dead Tauntaun Wedding Cake — comes with Luke Skywalker stuffed inside the beast’s exploding intestines.
The Walmart Coffin. (“Prices range from a ‘Mom’ or ‘Dad Remembered’ steel coffin for $895 (£540), to a bronze model at $2,899.”)
(Thanks to Dan for the “Empire Strikes Cake” link.)
To paraphrase Wednesday Addams: I’m going as a homicidal maniac. They look like everyone else.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
I got to use my new Star Trek shirt (blue) to be a ship’s counselor, with slanted eyebrows–half Betazoid, half Vulcan! (I work as a school social worker
))
I was dressed as “Everyday Ed” when my parents took Lisa and I out for seafood. The entire waitstaff at the restaurant had a Batman theme going. Our waitress told us that someone said she was “the prettiest witch I’ve ever seen” and she replied “Thanks, but I’m Catwoman.”
