Many ye...lol @ "Joan of Arkansas" Hank. <br /><br />Many years ago, at the height of SNL's popularity, I spent weeks preparing my costume for Halloween.<br /><br />I bought long thin springs, black electrical tape, a yellow shirt and shorts, black tights (Yes, I was not going to let my masculine ego deter me from my mission) and two Styrofoam balls to place on top of the springs for antennae.<br /><br />That became the Halloween, which friends still refer to as, "Jeff, as the best Killer Bee, ever!"<br /><br />Ah, ‘memries’ like the corners of my Bee hind.<br />RJ Jeffreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461483875368788083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-41159253094667003032012-10-31T16:06:39.567-04:002012-10-31T16:06:39.567-04:00Two years ago, Jonathan and I went as the Arcs, Jo...Two years ago, Jonathan and I went as the Arcs, Joan and Noah.<br /><br />Lsst year, I was too busy to make a costume, so I added a cowboy hat to my Joan of Arc outfit, and went as Joan of Arkansas.Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-65872388194861976172012-10-31T13:54:39.267-04:002012-10-31T13:54:39.267-04:00Best costume?

Just go out to the cemetery and walk around. You see, that cemetery is where the original Night of the Living Dead opened.

I concocted a crown out of cardboard and went trick or treating as a princess. It was a fun costume to create, and I think that's why I remember it so well.Carolynn Careyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094582182855105894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-27646089616548179342012-10-31T13:21:18.877-04:002012-10-31T13:21:18.877-04:00I'll save my terrible Halloween story for anot...I'll save my terrible Halloween story for another time ...My son and his wife who are both mid-thirties dress up for Halloween every year.

I was teensy tiny and Walter was super-sized. All the adults on the peninsula where we lived got a kick out of watching us pal around (per my mother).<br /><br />When I was almost six (birthday is Nov. 3) I dressed as a ballerina for Halloween. Walter, who had just turned six, dressed as a baseball player. <br /><br />We entered the costume contest at our recreation center.<br /><br />I won for the 3-4 year-old group. My prize was a purple elephant with a squeaker inside it.<br /><br />He won for the 8-10 year-old group. I can't remember what he won.<br /><br />I was DEVASTATED! My mom laughed. Everyone laughed. I cried. Walter consoled me.<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />Robin Hillyer Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110609261549166413noreply@blogger.com
