    A Christmas Tree.

    Don't look at me like that, I was a child and I marched to my own beat dangit.

    I also went as a pirate, a ninja this was especially fun since it was A) pitch black out and B) I was wearing all black and C) it is fun as heck to sneak up on people and scare the pee right out of them (literally! ahahaha)

    Just last year I was a cowgirl witch, a rennaissance lady (sewed all 4 layers by myself, quite beautiful) and the dorky sweater with little halloween characters on it. I have also been a 50's girl with poodle skirt, a convict (we all dressed as convicts when I worked at a small bank) and assorted characters wearing black

    I know this may shock some of you... but I'm a zombie almost every year. But I always switch it up... traditional... school girl zombie... super blood splatter zombie... last year I was a zombie nurse based on Silent Hill:
    Very proud of my costume/mask, which I made myself. The mask was all plaster strips.

    I know Silent Hill nurses didn't have mouth holes, but I planned on going out and needed to be able to sip a beverage, even if it's through a straw. I think this is my best so far since most of my friends even refused to look at me. I also won a costume contest. :D

    When I was younger and a little less deranged though, I have been: a pirate, a renaissance whore, Alex from A Clockwork Orange, and Pippi Longstockings. Next year, I'm trying to get my girlfriend to dress up as Daria Morgondorfer so I can go as Jane Lane from the 90's cartoon Daria.

    Me and 2 other friends decided to go as Ed Edd and Eddy from that cartoon one year. Not very seasonal I know. Zombiegirl, I take it you like zombies :p

    what's 'hallowe'en'....?


    I refuse to even participate.......

    Like every other 'festival' with meaning behind it, it's been transformed into a commercial, over-blown, meaningless and inconsequential excuse for a food-fest blow out.
    the sensationalist, gimmicky, plasticised predictability of all the accessories, floods shops from the end of September onwards.... cobwebs, witches' costumes, gruesome masks, fake blood, clawed gnarled ghoul's hands, and crazy wigs.... ask anyone on the street what exactly they're doing, and most people won't have a clue as to why or what it's all about.....

    Today? lol, just another day at the office :p No I am pulling your leg. I don't care much for festivals like halloween anymore, it seems as if there is an office of people who have a calendar and pick out random days and make it into a way to make money. Or is that just me? But when I was a teen I use to love going to parties on such days, mainly to get totally mashed on a number of substances.

    You forgot one thing Fed... and FUN.

    I love Halloween because I like horror movies and being scared, like at haunted houses. I've always heard that on Halloween, the line between the real world and the spirit world is thinner and although I am rather undecided on the whole spirit/ghost thing, I like to pay special attention to thinking of my loved ones who have passed.

    While it's been a while since I've worn a halloween costume, the two that spring to mind are Sylvester the Cat and Count Dracula. I only remember those two because I hated them both. Sylvester for being hot and horribly itchy(my younger brother went as Tweety so he was itchy too :-) ), and Dracula for my hair feeling as though it was made of plywood with the black hair dye in it that had stiffener as part of the dye.

    Truth be told, my next door neighbor had the best costume I had seen. She went as a bag of jelly beans(essentially a clear construction contractor's trash bag filled with inflated helium balloons and a carefully tied rope at the neck to hold the bag closed). I suspect it was a cheap last minute costume but I will never truly know.

    @Lady_Alison Thanks :) I only made one little girl cry, but I felt really bad about it. We were leaving a restaurant/bar where my friend was having a birthday party and the little girl saw me out in the parking lot. If it wasn't such a pain to remove my mask, I would have (it's actually two interlocking pieces that are held together with elastic to fit over my entire head), lol. Oops. I feel no remorse scaring adults, but kids made me feel like a bully...

    Halloween = costume + candy + drinking + socializing

    I go for the spirit world connection and try to bliss out making good of the silence.
