I just realized I hadn't posted pictures from Halloween since 2009. What's up with that? For the past few years I've had to come up with two costumes. One for a party held outside (well, inside an garage), and one for work. I need to dress for warmth for the outside party and sometimes the work costume will work, but is not always ready. I also need to step it up for work because we have a contest. I have won one of the titles each year in the past and feel a mounting pressure each year to continue my streak. People also expect big things from me and I don't want to disappoint them.
This year's party costume was put together in less than a week. Heidi decided to be Daphne after checking out costumes for red heads. Krista (Scooby Doo) and Julie (Fred) jumped on board, as did I (Shaggy). Velma was kidnapped by the ghost. Zoiks!
My work costume took a little more time to put together, although I did get my idea over the summer when I saw a street performer on Mass. Ave. during a First Friday Fringe event.
Special thanks to:
- The Mass. Ave. lady for giving me the idea.
- Michelle for giving me the dummy head.
- Patty (Michelle's deceased neighbor) for my swimming cap.
- Lynne for finding the swimming cap in Patty's yard sale (best .25 ever spent).
- Sears for having a super sale so I could buy two identical tankinis for $10 each.
- Work for letting us dress up!
I hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween!
