Every year I say, "I'm not gonna do Halloween. It is a reeediculous holiday." Then I congratulate myself on acting mature. Then I buy myself a pot of nail polish or something that I equate with women of caliber such as Meryl Streep. Then I am a frantic mess on October 30th.
This year will be different. We are adults now. I had major reconstructive surgery, been dumped twice, unemployed and poor, employed and rich (relatively). That was a major slambang injection of adulthood and I plan on embracing it. This year I am itinerizing my Halloween.
First, the costume:
Idea #1: Keyboard Cat - Grab a toy keyboard, a blue shirt and some cat ears.
Pros: culturally relevant, easy streets and funny
Cons: not wanting to lug keyboard around on dancefloor,
Idea #2: Balloon Boy - Also easy, just get helium mylar balloon at Safeway and tie to my waist.
Pros: easy, cheap, hyuk-hyuk funny
Cons: not that funny after family turned out to be whoring their plush child for media attention.
Idea #3: Max from Where the Wild Things Are - a major production.
Pros: really cute, warm and anti-strumpet costume
Cons: Need to sew a costume (which hasn't been done since grade school)
to be continued...
