The Magical Magic of Halloween
Oh my gosh. For the first time in FOR-ev-ER, I am going to a grown-up party for Halloween. See, usually I don’t get to go because no one wants to baby-sit on Halloween party night. But this time, my lovely cousin Randy has agreed to do it for me. So…
At first I was gonna just cheap out and wear my quinceanera dress for this huge, awesome party that my friend Lisa scored us invites to. But then my man Tad said he thought we should go matching. Like lovers. A couple costume. But a good one.
Oh my gosh. When’s the last time I got to be what I wanted to be for Halloween? Um… never? Here’s what I’m considering being:
1. a nurse
2. a saloon girl
3. Red Riding Hood
These ideas are based on costumes that I know to exist pre-made in my size at costume stores not too far from my home.
If I could be anything, I might consider being:
1. um…
2. hmm…
3. some kind of gothic cyborg thing with metallic somethings and wings made of real black feathers
Okay, well… it doesn’t matter. Mine and Tad’s fantasy couple costume has been, for the last year, that he would be Chairman Kaga (from Iron Chefs) and I would be a big, beautiful, iridescent chiffon shrimp.
Maybe next year, if my kids behave well at their babysitter’s this weekend.
