All Hallow's.

I love this holiday! I have been dressing up for as long as I can remember, and now it's actually encouraged. I remember growing up that we had Hallow's decorations that we'd saved from year to year, and piecemeal costume parts as well. There were too many of us that we had to use what was on hand. In comparison to the tidy, filing away that the christmas decorations got, Halloween's were in a ghetto coat box with a lid that didn't stay on, but some how stuck to the treasure. Inside the box were a remnant of a Grant's (local dept store) make-up kit, a ripped green witch mask with the gnarliest (get it, gnarl) of hair attached, several half-pieces of Caldor costumes, and one righteous vampire cape from the head shoppe in Rocky Hill.
Every year we tried to come up with something from this spice rack to produce art.
I remember being:

A Skeleton.
A Vampire.
A Pirate.
Spiderman.
Frankenstein.
Annie Lennox.
& a Mummy.

Since then, growing up (tbd) has lead me to more creative costumes:

Rudolph Valentino.
The Grim Reaper.
Tony The Tiger.
Man With The Yellow Hat.
Blue Man Group.
& Charlie Brown.

Ain't it funny how the more things change, the more they get weird?

Be safe, and scary.
