The year that I was black (Bride of Death), I totally freaked out some poor stoned guy, who ran screaming down the dorm hallway and then locked himself in his room.<BR/>Ahhhh.

Not something that usually leads to a night of romance.</I><BR/><BR/>This made me laugh. :) But I really love this:<BR/><BR/><I>"The theme for women seems to be Sexy Cowgirl, Sexy Nurse, Sexy Whatever. But they've got this really weird idea about what sexy is."</I><BR/><BR/>One costume I was really proud of was herpetologist -- khaki everything, and covered in snakes. This was back before Steve Irwin though -- I wouldn't wear it now.<BR/><BR/>The best childhood costume I remember was my brother's -- he was, of all things, a garlic!<BR/><BR/>(And, yes, he came up with this himself. It perturbed my mother until she figured out how to make the costume out of a huge muslin bag, black magic markers, and newspaper.)Ranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041247235612040796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-1162298985031487402006-10-31T07:49:00.000-05:002006-10-31T07:49:00.000-05:00laughing :)laughing :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-1162291600506343012006-10-31T05:46:00.000-05:002006-10-31T05:46:00.000-05:00kate5kiwis: Horace is being Annette Funicello.

I threw an army jacket onto which I'd painted "M*A*S*H 4077th" many years ago, over my the outfit that I wear all the time anyway (black turtleneck and green pants), so that I could spend the rest of my time helping my husband make his Wolverine costume.Queen of West Procrastinationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17216968234999269409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-1162171457118343222006-10-29T20:24:00.000-05:002006-10-29T20:24:00.000-05:00Sure, you can have a prize, Pilgrim.
