Countdown to Halloween: 6 Days
My Costume History - Part 1
I love Halloween. Always have. The best thing about it (besides the candy) is dressing up. Every year you get a chance to be something you've never been before. Of course, the possibilities are endless! I've had my fair share of wacky costumes (most of them chosen by me). However, most children go through their early years at the mercy of their parents' picks for Halloween costumes.
My twin, Erin, and I know this all too well. Our parents are sick, sick people, I tell ya. When we were 3 years old, my parents dressed us up as Playboy bunnies. Who, in their right mind, dresses their little girls as Playboy bunnies? Umm, my parents...people with a sick sense of humor. Oh, you know, they say it was just so cute...and, oh, it was so funny. But, I can't believe they let us go out of the house like that!
Example 1:
Erin & Me - front view...looks fairly normal, right?
Example 2:
Me & Erin - side profile...What? Little girls don't have those yet!! And don't ask me what the glasses/noses thing is...'cause honestly, I have no idea what that is all about.
Yep...that's right...our parents took us out like that! After I grew old enough to know what they did, I questioned my Mom about it. Nonchalantly, she replied, "Well, I didn't make you go to nursery school with those in."
As if that makes it all okay.
To be continued...(Part 2 tomorrow).

You & Erin are still cute! Of course, I wouldn't have dressed you like that....but who listens to me??? PS-My mind is really bad..I don't remember those costumes - I wonder where I was during that year--What year was it? Anyway, I love you....Beautiful MA
That is an excellent story. Makes me want to dig out my Halloween 78 pictures as Howdy Doody. One year I was Sylvester and my poor brother was Tweety. I so want to go to a dress up Halloween party..but a certain someone won't dress up...Me as Bill Clinton and Dana as Monica Lewinsky...or me as John and Dana as Yoko... The Tin Man and Dorothy..OJ and Nicole....endless possibilities all for naught. The last time I went out and dressed up I was Hunter S. Thompson from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I was surprised how many people knew who I was.
