What Are You Gonna Be?

October has proven to be the most hectic month, so far. I haven't even decorated my house for Halloween yet. *shame on me* No pumpkins, no witches, no ghosts. I don't do spiders and cobwebs because I hate spiders. That's not right. What's the strongest word for hate? Whatever it is, that is how I feel towards spiders. Enough, I hate even tying the word!

I decided I will not be dressing up this year. Last year we had a theme, fairytale characters and I was Little Red Riding Hood, my daughter was Princess Belle and the grumpy little Princess Jasmine is our cousin. And yes, she bites. The other girl is Sleeping Beauty and the boy is Ratatouille.

This year my daughter decided that wants to be a Barbie Super Girl; and it got me thinking about what I would have chosen to be had I decided to dress up. I thought we were going to be fairies this year so I had planned to be Iridessa from Tinkerbell. I was cool with that. But there's an upside to not dressing up this year, it's gonna be COOOLD! I get to be bundled up as I go door to door soliciting candy from strangers (which is the exact opposite of what we're taught); avoiding the scary houses, of course.

The point of all my rambling is that I've been thinking about costumes and how many people still dress up.

What's your favorite costume you've ever worn or seen?

What are you dressing up as this year? 

My favorite was ten years ago, my boyfriend and I were Medusa and her statue - he was covered in silver paint and wrapped in a sheet! It was great. I wish I had a picture to share but it was so long ago.

So feel free share your story, picture or funniest Halloween moment below!

(I did see a memorable costume but I don't know if it's appropriate to share here! I'll give you a hint though; it was phallic and inflatable! Is that too obvious?)
