With Halloween so close and getting costumes ready for us, it got me to thinking. Think back to when you were a kid: What was your favorite Halloween costume or who did you like dressing up as? As and adult: If you were going to a Halloween part what would you go as or who would you be?  |

Fav costume... I think it was one of a horse riding princess, typical girly thing. ;D It had been crafted by my mother and my sister's costume and mine were assorted. It was something really sweetie cute, pink and all that.  Today I'm a witch by lack of time and preparation; kind of boring I find, but hey, we do what we can with what we have... It's an orange and black costume, whith a platinum-haired wig with a couple of orange locks of hair here and there. Make up not decided yet, it will be a trial-and-error thing. If I can get some more in advance next year though there's the evil goth clown (or pierrot) idea that tempts me a lot. ;D Hey... What about you BTW?  |

Back in the day, I think my favorite costume that I wore was a Zorro outfit. It was pretty decent, down to the mask, the hat, and the black cape. I even used a practice sword of mine (which I still have to this day) with the costume. Didn't look too bad on me, either.  Halloween party... interesting question, and not entirely sure. I tend nowadays to just put an outfit together with whatever I have in my closet. Doctor Who tempts me, honestly, because the show tends to pretty simple outfits that are still distinctive. |

Where I am currently working the theme is Barbie. As the only male in the department I will be Ken. My costume is:
wear 2 ties--made in Thailand or Taiwan
Wear the registered trademark symbol--the R with the circle around it.
That's it.

My favorite costume as a kid was a very pretty fairy princess costume. This year I was gypsy but next year when I have a a bit more money I am planning to do a Maddie Pryor Goblyn Queen costume.

When I was a kid my favorite costume had to have been either a Ninja Turtle or the green power ranger. My mom made the costumes herself and they kicked butt. Though my favorite costume my mom made was the super cow costume for my little bro. She took one of my old cow costumes and added a white with black spot cape to it. Nowadays if I had the money I'd be Gambit or Spike. Man maybe it's just that I want to wear a leather duster. |

Same here. A lot of people put on a costume for school on Halloween day as well, here. Yesterday, it seems that it was about half of the people accompanying and giving out candies that were dressed up. |

Fille, sorry to be so long getting back to your question. Bet you'll never guess why it's taken me so long. ;D As for my favorite costume when I was little, it was a Rapunzel costume. i loved the long hair wig. It had a braid that dragged the floor when I had it on. As for this year, I decided to be a vampire and the girls agreed. Usually they want me to be a witch. I love your idea about a pierrot. I think I would like to try that at some time too. |

Probably from me dressing them up as cute little witches when they were little. ;D

Will liked being a dice when he was a kid. He was a six-sided die. As for me, I don't really remember any particular costume, but my favorite year was when my best friend brought her violin alone and serenaded everyone. We got more candy that way.
This year I dressed up as the Young Goddess by Linsner. I have his artbook which has several different paintings of Dawn as the Young Goddess. I'll try to post up the pics I have of Dawn and of me as soon as I get an image of myself on my computer. I did pretty good. Had a lot of help from my friend who painted my face with the three tears.
One of these years, when I have more money, I'm gonna have one of the more elaborate Dawn costumes made. Of course, one that covers everything. ^_~ Though maybe Will will disagree...
