Anyway, like I was saying, though I didn't see any tiny humans dressed as ghosts and superheroes the other night, I have had some good and bad Halloweens. The following are the best and worst:
Best:
1. In college, I saw a guy take white athletic tape and wrap his entire body to be a mummy. I think what made it so memorable was the fact that he had covered his entire body, face even, with the tape AND the fact that he wasn't really wearing much underneath the tape. I remember someone asking him how he planned on taking it off, and then after a few moments of silence, you could tell he was realizing he was going to be ripping off a lot of arm and leg hair that night.
Sidebar: When getting ready for Halloween remain sober.
2. I got to admit I'm a huge fan of the ironic. One year two friends of mine dressed up as pregnant nuns. I know as a religious folk I should have been offended, but it was funny.
Sidebar: I think for laughing at that I was sent to Mongolia for a mission. I'm not entirely sure there's a connection, but I'm also not ruling it out.
3. This year my brother-in-law went as the character "Mugatu" from Zoolander. Was I jealous that he actually went out on Halloween and celebrated the holiday? Yes. Did I watch me some Scandal and feel better? Yes.
And now for the Worst:
1. Any man dressed as a woman, I got to say, gets a red flag out of me. I mean, I get it, you've always wanted to play with boobs all night without being swatted away by some terrified woman, but that doesn't make it the go to costume. Sure it can be funny to see a hideous woman, but then, it gets a little weird pretty fast.
2. ALL WOMEN DRESSED AS SLUTTY/ _________(Fill in some random job...nurse, teacher, angel, ninja, princess, grocery checkout employee etc.) I don't know who in their right mind decided that after the age of 18, all women had to dress like prostitutes, but I've had enough of it. If you are looking for something other than candy, then fine, if not, let's class it up ladies!
3. Me from ages 6-15. My mom, bless her sweet heart, didn't really believe in making or buying costumes. Therefore, every Halloween sort of went down like this:
Night before Halloween Parade:
Me: Mom, I don't have a costume.
Mom: Hmmmm....Here's a plunger...why don't you be a plumber?
Me: Was that last year.
Mom: How about this Hawaiian shirt and camera. You are a TOURIST!!
Me: Elisa, my sister, did that last year.
Mom: Okay, here's a robe and some pajamas....you are someone going to sleep.
Me: Is that even a costume? Someone going to sleep? Should I just carrying a fork and spoon around and say, "Don't you get it? I'm someone about to eat."
What was the worst and best you saw?
