Measuring Cup / October 28, 2006 // Charleston, Ill.
I’ve never been a big fan of Halloween.
A few years ago I was Peter Parker. I went as a tourist the next year. This year I decided to leave the camera in the car and be something awful… a Republican.
Mal was a “sexy” chef. She wore a black dress, threw on some fishnet stockings and an apron and it turned into a costume. Drinking out of a measuring cup was a nice touch. (”I just drank 1/8 cup of beer!”)
Girls have it easy with costumes — all they have to do is add A) fishnet stockings, B) a low-cut top or C) all of the above to an outfit they already have and they have a Halloween costume.
At the bars this weekend I was surrounded by people dressed up like sexy bumblebees, sexy nurses, sexy cartoon characters, sexy policewomen, sexy devils, sexy angels, etc.
Guy outfits just aren’t fun. One of the only costumes I saw that made me laugh was Dawg the Bounty Hunter. He had it down… the badge on the chain, the walkie-talkie and a sweet mullet.
Maybe next year I’ll get crazy and dress like a Colts fan.
