Halloween costumes of yesteryear
The Friday Five this week is about halloween but I didn't feel like filling all of those out questions, so I'm just going to reminicse(sp?) about all of my previous halloween costumes.
Age 2: some dog of some kind
Ages 3 and 4: a yellow crayon (my mom made it, my sister was a pink crayon)
Kindergarten - 2nd grade: Dorothy from Wizard of Oz. I loved that costume and covered a pair of white tennis shoes with red glitter and carried around a pound puppy as toto.
3rd grade: Kirsten (anyone remember the American Girls series?)
4th grade: Japanese person (we had an exchange student and she gave us a kimono)
5th grade: Carmen Sandiego (my mom made me this yellow jacket that could be used as a bathrobe afterwards and then I had a red hat with yellow accents. I got a little upset because everyone thought I was Dick Tracy)
6th grade: Poodle skirt girl (it was reuse the thing I had to wear in a school play the previous year type thing)
7th grade: Black Cat (borrowed the costume from a friend)
8th grade: Farmer (now we get into what can I pull together from my closet)
9th grade: my Dad (like I wore his tie and carried around his briefcase, I thought it was funny, he didn't find it that amusing)
10th grade: Princess Leia (I had a white bathrobe)
11th grade: another poodle skirt deal for the same reasons
skipped a couple years
Age 19: CJ from West Wing
Age 20: a column (aka the inside joke that went too far)
and this year I'm going as workday wench (that's my title in Habitat). I've got super cutoff jeans, I'm going to cut-up a Habitat shirt, have a toolbelt, boots, etc.
Other suggestions that I couldn't quite figure out how to do were:
-sexually repressed Victorian man
-Howard Dean
-the pretzel Bush choked on a couple years ago
-candy corn
-Amish pimp
-Amish slut
-Mama Morton from Chicago
All good ideas, just not sure about the execution.
