I Am Not a Costume!

[IrishLake]

I am a grown ass woman. I do not dress up for Halloween. I do not go to costume parties. If we were invited to one and went, I wouldnt dress up.

On the other hand, my children are going to a YMCA sponsored event tonight, "Safe" trick or treating. My daughter will be a witch, my son Thomas the Train. I apologizes to wiccans and train engineers everywhere who may be offended.

I also find clowns terrifying. I was at a festival last weekend, and there were a bunch of Shriners in one of the parades.... and they all dressed as clowns. Horrifying.

Are you saying that all the women on this board who will be venturing to costume parties this weekend are not grown women because we happen to enjoy costumes?

I had friends who used to throw Halloween parties with a theme - guests would dress up in something appropriate to the theme. I won the year the theme was detectives - I was Nancy Drew - and the year the theme was aliens - I was Magenta from RHPS. That was grown-assed fun.
