What Are You Gonna Be For Halloween?

I was thinking about going as George W. Bush and putting a big prosthetic ass on my face. Then I realized that it would seriously impair my vision.

Any thoughts yet?

True, so true.

Seriously though, I'm having a hard time coming up with costume ideas this year. Last year my husband and I went as a 1920's flapper and gangster--which is basically like not even TRYING to come up with something original.

Um, go as Miss Stevie Nicks. Duh.

Kidding.

Again?

I think I've exhausted that one already!

Maybe this year I should go as Lindsey instead, I think I have an afro wig...

I don't think I'm hairy enough to pull it off.

Yeah, people celebrate Halloween over here. I'm not a kid anymore so I don't go trick-or-treating but I DO go to parties, which is why I'm glad it falls on a Saturday this year!! Woo-hoo!

No one's expecting it so people would just come out in the their pyjamas and wonder what the hell you were doing, rather losing the atmosphere.

I don't know. Go as Burt Reynolds.

They're called holidays, dear, and they're supposed to be fun.

We don't really do the big Halloween stuff over here. My kids like to go trick or treating but a lot of folks won't answer their doors. And then you get the kids knocking who just want money.

Barbeque?! How exotic. What is this bar b q?

Actually, I guess holloween could seem strange, but of course not to us. I actually don't like holloween that much, it can be stressful. When i was a kid i loved it, but that's just because you get a huge bagful of candy at once. And holloween is fun in Chico, it's basically like Octoberfest, but everyone is scantily clad, in "costumes". The entire populace of the college and town is out within a 4 block radius where all the bars are. It's great....I like holloween cause i can wear something i would never wear in real life. One time I was "hooker of the damned" and my boyfriend was "pimp of the damned" and he held the other end of a noose that was around my neck all night. Otherwise i'm usually just a cat, cause it's easy, it's cute, and you get to wear hardly anything. But I don't usually dress up here in Oakland/Berkeley, so probably nothing this year...

Money?! I've never heard of a kid here who asked for money...how does that work? Our kids just say "trick or treat!" and take whatever the person puts in their bag....

I haven't made any real effort in dressing up for Halloween in about five years - five years ago I was Princess Leia - I had the cool bun hair wig and all....it was awesome....

I went as a Starbucks barista a couple of years ago - simply because I still have the apron from when I worked at one....how lame is that?? hahaha...

I have no plans as of yet for Halloween.....so I'm not dressing up...

Like I said. It isn't big over here. Most people don't want to be bothered by kids knocking on the door so don't get in sweets to give out.
