In 1996, I went as Sylvia Plath

I put on pearls and tights and fashioned an old box into an oven which I situated on my head with a coat hanger and some Scotch tape. It was my first year in the city, and I went to the famed NYC village parade. All night people asked me if I was a television set.

In 1983, I sprayed my hair green and went as a punk rocker. Every other year I can remember I was a hobo. How about you? Humor me with your litany of costumes.

Haha Nicole, that's hilarious---I too went as Sylvia Plath one year! I hung a copy of "Ariel" around my neck and wore a bottle of Tylenol over pearls. It was a very practical costume. When I woke up the next morning, hung over and still wearing my pencil skirt, a just popped a pill from my outfit.

Congrats on your wedding! It looked beautiful. I appreciated the Russ drunk dial.

The last time I personally dressed for halloween was in 2002. Wade and I went to a costume party Dressed as Miss American Pie and A Good Ole Boy Drinkin Whisky and Rye. Picture Wade with prosthetic hair on his chest and me with a 3 foot blond updo and makeup that was two inches thick. Good times were had by all!!! Now for halloween it's all about the kids. Gabe is Mater from the movie cars. .. because route 66 is the mother road. The baby is snow white and Van is Yoda. Too funny!
