And Jillaw...remember that guy you used to date (after setting me up with him and then realizing you wanted him for yourself--he had no say of course) who used to go as "comfortable" every Halloween? And then there's my brother who wore a suit and horn-rimmed glasses with a Soviet flag hung like a cape. "Soviet Boy." [/quote]
I don't remember the Soviet Boy costume! If you have pictures, please let me see. I can't even guess which brother it was! (they are all rather...creative)
(By the way- thank yo for not commenting on my atrocious grammar in my last post. How embarassing!)

I have no idea what this post means. You give up? Soviet Boy...who do you think? Which brother had that handy sickle and hammer flag hanging from his closet door for years? Also...to narrow it down...I don't remember any of Biggest Bro's costumes, although I do remember him dressing as "Cher" to Putridly-Cute Boy's "Sonny" years ago at a talent show (what is it with my family and Sonny and Cher? And here I had thought I had blotted my memory of that visual image from my mind) and L'il Bro always dresses like some disturbing John Waters character--I don't know if it's intentional or not but he always looks very very wrong. He even wore one of Dad's polyester leisure suits one Halloween. Dad was irked...and puzzled as to why that outfit could be used for Halloween. He was keeping it in case anyone in the family would ever allow him to wear it again, I'm guessing. We had to hide it from him. |

I have to weigh in here.
At least you all picked Halloween costumes that were easily identifiable: toothbrushes, Sonny & Cher. I, on the other hand, am the Queen of Halloween Costumes That Must Be Explained.
The tone was set with the witch's costume my mother made me when I was about six. We knocked on a neighbor lady's door . . . and she thought I was a nun.
In high school, I was invited to a costume party. I had recently snagged a great bag of vintage clothing from the Teens, so I went as Irene Castle. Yeah. I had to explain all night long who she was. Irene Castle, of the famous dance team of Vernon and Irene Castle? Ginger Rogers played her in The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle? Oh, never mind.
Then, when I was living in New York, I threw together more vintage clothing -- including a turban -- with about sixteen pounds of makeup and twenty pounds of attitude and went to a costume party as Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard. At least there were enough gay guys there that I didn't have to explain the reference constantly . . . but I sure did get looks on the subway!

Oh, maggie....I LOVE that you were Norma Desmond!!! I think I need to consider doing that sometime, though there are some who might consider my every day behavior a bit like hers.
By the way, shmeep, I was giving up on my computer skills. I tried to quote you, and screwed it up. And I figured it was that bro, just couldn't definitely say that. The other two are rather interesting in their own ways as well, you know.

I'm wearing my poodle skirt and my saddle shoes!
Last year I went as Scooter from the Muppets. When I started putting the costume together, I realized it looked rather disturbing, but my friends kept egging me on. I even cut a ping pong ball in half and taped it to some sunglasses. Of course, even though I cut tiny holes in the pupils, I couldn't see because I couldn't wear my regular glasses, so I didn't know until I saw the pictures a week later that I was freakish looking! The pupils weren't focused on the same place... Very bizarre. Scary! I have hidden those pictures.
When I was little, I always wanted to wear my sister's Pac-Man costume, but I wasn't big enough. So my mom put it in the closet to wait until I was big enough. By the time I got there, she threw it away the year before! Gaa!

Did you have Max break out the video tapes so you can watch yourself over and over? |
