Halloween Costumes

Since high school, I have been a fan of joint costumes where you go as a theme with someone else. Maybe it's because I was always too afraid to do something on my own, but over the years, I've had quite a bit of fun with it.

It started in High School when Rosemary and I came up with ideas two years in a row. Our first year, we were Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dummer. Though we don't have pictures from this year, I believe we managed to find hats with propellors in them. Our senior year, we went to school dressed as nerds in pleated mini skirts, knee highs, pocket protectors, and broken glasses. Unfortunately our peers just thought it was another day in school. I don't think they could tell that we were dressed up.

In college, my friend and I decided to dress up as the doublemint twins. As you can see, the costumes were not elaborate. The signs on our backs were really the key feature. And even though looked we looked nothing alike, people mistook us for eachother all night. I had a great time talking to drunk guys who thought I was her.


Skip to Denver, and my first foray out to Halloween parties was the year Holly and I searched all day looking for something we could be. Then we found cheap silver dresses at Fashion Bug and the Femmbot costume was born. A few blond wigs, pink feather boas and machine gun boobies later we had our outfits. We were a hit....with men. Though guys couldn't looks us in the face all night. Instead they blatantly stared at our chests that had dark green happy birthday balloons spilling out of them. Humph, men!

Skip to a couple of years later and of course who can forget the famous Plug and Socket?

I suppose now that we've had our fun, it will be all about the kids. I better start working on a costume for Baby G now.
