Morphsuits? I'm not a Hallowe'en person. The popularity of the holiday amazes me. 2nd to Christmas in the decoration department, Hallowe'en is now a phenomena that sucks the life out of me.
Hallowe'en in Saskatchewan meant the usual snowsuits under costumes, staying away from the "razors in the apples" or the "lady that took candy out as she put candy in". One year I had angel wings that were too wide to get through the bus doors and once I had a little red hen costume with stuffed tail feathers that prevented me sitting all day. Nothing traumatizing - BUT who can forget the dreaded year my folks decided to COMBINE the hard-earned candy to be SHARED(!!!!???) out of the turquoise cookie tins. or the year my boyfriend - definitely NOT a costume guy - wore a white T-shirt, with smokes rolled in the sleeve and jeans and tried to get in free at the local dance as a greaser (in cowboy boots).
Surely - if you're going to a party - or a wedding like the Hallowe'en nuptials (til death do they part) as my pals Lesley and West (aka Buttercup and Westley from Princess Bride) had - then you buck up and find a costume and get in the swing of it all.
Two days ago we received an invite to a Monster Mash. with costumes. gulp.
Feel my pain people - the Morphsuits are being touted. and World of Warcraft costumes! I may just take a page from the past - and find some cowboy boots and a smoke or two. aaaaaaaay! sit on it!
Hello there!

Oh, I am SO with you on this. My poor children have never had a decent costume. I am pretty sure it was the "Aunt Jemima" costume my mother made and forced me to wear (over my snowsuit) that has created the disdain I feel for this "holiday". That, and the whole aspect of sending small children out to beg for candy they don't need.
i too was Aunt Jemima! oh we've come a long way!
