Halloween Costumes
What to wear? What to wear? Every year the same dilemma. Picking the right costume demands your total focus. It’s an exhausting process but really, it is the process that I like, more so then the actually product. This year the stakes for a good quality costume are raised, as I now live in a neighborhood infested with ‘trick or treat’ age children.

At first I wanted to go as an Org Chart, but felt it was too nerdy and conceptual. This costume would instantly ban me from the neighborhood and might just get me arrested. It was easier choosing a costume for my nemesis, ‘mr cell phone’. He’ll be going as Kenny from South Park, in homage to the brilliant send up that Matt and Trey did of Queer Eye for The Straight Guy and the whole ‘metrosexual’ fad. Brilliant. Good enough for my cell phone. So where does that leave me? I couldn’t find any Paris Hilton costumes, but maybe that’s cause she never wears any clothing. I kind of like the Aloha Gorilla. But it’s not quite there. I would love to go as Sam Rockwell’s portrayal of Chuck Barris from the movie Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, but I just don’t have the proper number of ill-fitting hats to pull that one off. As a his and hers idea, I really like the Deluxe Colonial Man and Women outfit, this seems the most fitting considering our recent move. In the end I might have to go with the simpleness found in a creepy Colonel Major Mustache.
