costumes of Halloweens past

We’re way into Halloween at our house this year and very excited for the big event tomorrow. It’s all about the kids these days though – I never seem to get around to figuring out my own costume anymore. But once upon a time I did enjoy Halloween quite a lot and so I thought it would be fun to revisit some of my better costumes from Halloweens past. In chronological order here are a five of my favorites:

Me as Cinderella (pre-Disney licensed!) + with my loot and baby sister Kyle. 1980

 

My sister Kyle and me as witches. 1982

The Beastie Boys - Intergalactic video. 1998

The Golden Girls. (I’m Rose. Dorothy’s in drag.) 1999

Lovey and Thurston Howell, III. (note the re-use of my wig here – so versatile!) 2003

preparedness

See my new rain boots?

I bought them along with a parka and for the first time ever I’m feeling ready for fall. I didn’t own a parka before and can I tell you how much I love wearing it already? I’m sure everyone but me knows this, but it’s like a sleeping bag that you can wear! Maybe this was my trouble with cold rainy weather all along – I was just too cold! Well, problem solved. I’m prepared for the weather. And I’m gonna be warm. 

How old am I today?

23! 22! 33.

That’s ok. 33 is my lucky number so bring it on!

I just added this new rock candy necklace to my shop:

These red vintage plastic beads are so unusual and so rad!
