Ghouls, Goblins & Witches, My Pretty!

Happy Halloween 

    to all you celebrating the night of dress up,
      debauchery, and candy-coated disguise.                    Boohahhahahha! 

Polls show that the eponymous witch with the pointy-hatted costume (however old school and dated) is still the American costume de jour.  Nevertheless, I have heard that people this year will likewise be dressing up to match fast-fading trends: reality star and teen pop *sensations* such as the Justin Bieber, Ms. Kim Kardashian, the thing that is Gaga, and all things New Moon are in vogue.  With the tween-gone-mainstream phenomenon of television vampire entertainment (Twilight and True Blood and Vampire Diaries and The Gates, among others,) many o' persons shall be dressed as werewolves, she-wolves, fairies, shape shifters, and vampires (both diamond-y and of the scarier ripper variety).

"Finger Food Anyone, Anyone?"

In years past I have dressed as a skier (last minute!), a jester (lots of bells), Marilyn Monroe (hello blondie), Rainbow Brite gone bad (the teenage years), Jem of Jem & the Rockers (awesome star earring), Wonder Woman (middle school), a crazy chicken (el pollo loco), and alas, I will admit it, a vampire (sigh).  Needless to say, I find the time of dress up amusing.  What will you be this year?

Most countries abroad don't celebrate such a ghoulish holiday so I plan to relish it!  May your night be happily scary.  Woohahahha!  

                     Cheers to candy, 

                       cauldrons,

          and all the things that go

               BUMP

                                      in the night!
