YAY HALLOWEEN.
I’ve been invited to a Brexit-themed halloween party- I’m a bit at a lost for costume ideas that aren’t super depressing 
.
I’m going as a peach, and then I will have a peppermint candy necklace and devil horns on…
Imp. Peach. Mint.
(It’ll be a three person costume for breakfast on the bridges).
I think that’s topical without being depressing (to me, I know it isn’t that way for everyone), and isn’t what I originally wanted to do, which was go as Gentleman Jack, which my pocketbook and schedule will not allow for at the level of historical costuming detail I usually go for.
Ooh, that’s an avenue of costumes I hadn’t thought about…
A stop sign painted with shamrocks on my back, maybe. Or 50 newspaper articles…
This took me a second and then I laughed REAL hard.
I probably won’t dress up this year, but I suggested my friend and her partner go as Fleabag and Hot Priest, and then dress their chihuahuas up as foxes.
I have obtained a witch hat that fits so I will finally have a good witch costume (other items will just be my clothes and depend on the weather).
My mom got my toddler a dinosaur costume at a consignment sale, so he will be the world’s cutest dinosaur.
I have absolutely no ideas whatsoever for a Halloween costume. This is true most years, and I end up half-assing something like witch (I have loads of witchy dresses), bellydancer (I used to perform in a troupe and still have some of the costuming), or just tossing on some sort of wig and mask.
This year I want to do something fun! I have to come up with something for the Halloween event we go to every year (which this year is on Nov. 1 due to some issue with the venue’s availability, which just seems all sort of wrong.) Maybe I’ll use this space to brainstorm some ideas.
I am going to be candy corn and baby will be a bat. I ordered little acrylic candy corn pieces to make some sort of accessory with.
We’ll probably get trick or treaters in our new neighborhood. We’ve never had them before and we’re looking forward to it!
Turns out I will vest in the state pension on Halloween, so I need something comfortable (I’m running an hours long event at the university) that involves a giant-ass vest. or a super-obvious vest, or something. I’m not coming up with many ideas so suggestions are welcome.
Red and white stripes like a candy cane so you can be an in-vest-mint?
We are making alternative Halloween plans because the Nov. 1 “Halloween” event that we go to every year apparently does not even start until midnight (if we’re lucky) due to a concert beforehand at the venue? Oof. Too old to do that after a full workday. This bums me out. But we might’ve found an alternative. Which of course is on the 19th so I have a couple weeks less to throw together a costume.
Hm. Maybe I will just recycle something I did in a past year. It’s nerd-themed, and I went as Killer Frost from Flash a couple of years ago. Hm.
And wear devil horns and then you can be a bad in-vest-mint!
Not sure that’s the day of all days I want to be a bad investment. 
Then a Halo?
An angel in-vest-ment?
Hah!
Ooh, or wings!
This is getting complicated…
