I was Levitra. It scared all the men in my office.

For a second, I thought the kid at the very top of the picture was one of mine. Which would have been a neat trick, since I wasn't born until 5 years after this picture was taken.

But, after a while, these kinds of pictures are all interchangable. When my grandparents were in a nursing home, many of the residents had collected their wedding albums into an informal group that was fun to look at. But as you looked through the pile, you began to realize that, while the main participants were different, the background guests seemed identical in each album. It was if there was a central casting office for wedding guests, and they kept sending the same regulars over each time.

What have we come to,when our young women and girls are encouraged to dress as sluts, and dress as such not just at Halloween, but year round? One afternoon last week, I looked out one of my front windows, and saw a high school girl walking down the street in a skirt that just barely covered her bottom, and thigh highs. I admit, the sneakers did kind of take the edge off, but still, I was appalled.

And this is truly the limit. To-day, women aren't even wearing the bustle. Humbug!

That was Princess Summerfall Winterspring, played by Judy Tyler, a puppet turned into a girl. Fathers started watching the show.

I am the Red Witch, in voluminous red satin, with a red satin peaked hat and lots of fake rubies and other gewgaws. The mild decolletage might qualify it as slutty, but I'm so old no one looks anyway. It scares the little kiddies (until I fling handfuls of Milky Way Bites into their bags), and it embarrasses the grandchildren, so what's not to like?

it's got to be a joke, everybody laughs at this. just wait until "re-education" starts.....

Back in the 70's, I made my costume. I wore a white sheet wrapped around me, with white tights, and orange string coming off the top of my head. Yes, I was dressed as a joint! Went to a party this way. Entertained a few people, but even more, when someone told me I looked like..... aw, geez.... a TAMPON!
Quel embarassment! My best was also my worst.
Ah, the 70's!

I hated having to wear a coat over my costume for Halloween. It defeated the whole purpose of the costume, right? And wearing it underneath wasn't much better, because then you looked like an engorged tick.

Today, I am wearing generic Harry Potter wizard robes (Ravenclaw scarf and patch, stuffed owl, wand) which I had made for me in 2003, and I expect I'll wear them forevermore, because I'm too tired to scrounge up anything else.

I was the only person in an office of about 8 people to wear a costume, but I'm too old to care about being the only one anymore.

... and I dressed up as Hunter S Thompson over the weekend. I'm from another country that doesn't celebrate the tradition, and have to say that I got rather carried away.

Regardless, for the real deal I figured that I probably shouldn't wear the same outfit, so dropped in to work in my wife's angel gear. Merely wings and halo, sad to say...

It wasn't a costume of mine, but that of a kid of about 8 who came to my door a couple of years ago. It was weird - he was dressed in an Elvis-esque sequin suit with a stuffed toy lion attached to his neck, with lots of fake blood dripping from the fake neck wound.

"What ARE you?" I asked.

"Roy," he responded.

It was in such bad taste I gave him extra candy.

I went to a party as... Rex Kwon Do! Last year I was an 18th century fop; this year's was a bit less involved.

After years of trying unsuccessfully to get my kids to go as this, today I put a (rubber) knife through a box of Quaker Oats & Honey and wore it around my neck, because I was a cereal killer. Bad puns are the best revenge, I think.

Really liked the earlier post about the lead being like Spam -- how could would know what visionaries the Python's were? What's next the Spanish Inquisition?

I'd expect so.

No-o-o-o-body expects the Spanish Inquisition.
