Going anywhere especially spooky this year ?? Do you have any cool costume plans you have been working on ??? Do you do anything especially weird to your home or go all out with a party ? Do you make your pet wear a costume ? My Mom made the best homemade costumes for me when I was a kid, any great memories ??? It's my favorite time of the year !!

I'm going as the Invisible Man.

No costume, but I'll be in Savannah this year for Halloween. I had checked on going to the club where The Lady Chablis (from Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) performs, but found out that there is a $25 cover on Halloween.... will probably do a Ghost Tour of Savannah instead.

I will most likely go dressed as a blonde in black with a dog. No one will recognise me

I'll be walking in the Halloween Parade in the Village in NYC as of all things.....a Hostess Cupcake!!! Yes, that is my costume!! If you see me, say hello!!

Oh missjanna, I will be looking for you! How cute Pup will probably be the one in costume ((&))

Anyone have any ideas for a pup costume?

I'm not dressing up, but my boys will and so will my 16 mo. old German shepard. Last year we got a dog costume that was a devil, which I thought was very appropriate for the fiesty puppy he was at the time. Of course, the devil horns lasted just long enough on his head to snap one picture!
This year I want him to wear something that he can keep on, and I think he's going to wear one of my son's NBA jerseys. (We're all big basketball fans). I wanted him to wear Kobe's jersey, but my husband was afraid that this could be interpreted that we support Kobe. I was thinking more in the lines of, if Kobe did do what they are saying, then he certainly is a dog! But we will be safe and I think he is going to be Vince Carter. (We have the choices of Iverson, Snow, Carter, Kobe or Garnett - any suggestions?)
My son's cub scout troop marches in a Dec. Holiday parade each year and we have to think of this years theme for the float. (Last year's float was Spongebob and won 2nd place). Since a lot of my son's scout friends have dogs, I suggested that all the dogs wear reindeer antlers and pretend to be reindeer and "pull" Santa's sleigh down the street. It would never, ever, work that all the dogs would walk appropriately down the street AND keep the antlers on for the entire parade, but I think it would be funny to see!

I live in San Francisco. In some areas every day is Halloween.

We will be in the Virgin Islands over Halloween, and I found a couple of neat things to do.

There is a Halloween party cruise on a large schooner, and then there is a HUGE party at Foxy's bar on Jost Van Dyke that is called the Cat Fight. (There are catamaran races all day that end in the giant Halloween party and costume contest.)

So I'm going as a flapper and my husband is going as an Egyptian pharoah.

But Halloween was my absolute favorite holiday when I was a kid, so I will miss the nippy sweater air and the kids shuffling around the neighborhood!

Will be with my boyfriend in his home, Santa Cruz. Checking out for the first time the Ghost Train that goes through the redwoods at Felton (the Roaring Camp railroad). The website says they tell the story of Ichabod Crane along the way, and something about like projecting images onto the dark forest?? Anyone done this?

Later we'll probably do what we did last year, walk around with everyone else downtown SC, then go dancing. This year he's sewing a Pink Panther costume and I bought a little girl's Hello Kitty costume...the dress doesn't fit, (so I bought a pink one with polka dots, and white tights!) but the head does--a white, babooshka-like Hello Kitty head, complete with pink bow. It's a pretty hot costume. I'm excited.

love

My boyfriend and I will be in Wichita, and we're going to the Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular at the Orpheum on Halloween night.

We're going to be in NYC this Halloween, so I think we'll go to the parade in the Village. missjanna, we will absolutely be looking for you, so if you hear someone screaming your name, it could be me.

scarlett, I will never recognize you in your costume, even if you are standing right next to me, but maybe Pup could go as Superpup in a mask, tights, and a cape. What do you think?

Actually, Scarlett, maybe Pup should go in drag. I just love that idea and it would be so perfect for the Village.

OMG Marilyn ! Pup in drag ~LOL ~ it is a thought. So many ideas, I will need to think about this
He had a tiara but he broke it ((&))

Scarlett~
When I went looking for my costume they had a smackload of dog costumes as well. I got mine at Ricky's, which they have locations all over Manhattan. Their website is www.rickys-nyc.com.

Thank you missjanna
We have friends who are in the theatre business and I can get something from them. I am considering a tutu and a little tiara, He will be a Fairy !!


(that is not really supposed to be an anti - anything remark...I like the idea of dressing him up like a fairy with sparkle and all..so what if he is a boy LOL)

Photos of Pup as Puppette are a MUST, do you hear me Ms. Scarlett?

We are hosting our neighborhood party this year. I will be a pregnant girl scout. Clark will be ummm....a well-packaged boy scout....!!!

Um, Ellen, is there an addition joining Audrey and Rusty or is this costume for fun?

Last year I went to Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, NC for their celebration. Only about 20% of the people wore costumes. If you are going out to celebrate, wear a costume!

I'm not sure if I'm going up to Franklin Street again this year, I might go away for the weekend.

Going out dancing in downtown Cleveland.

Dressing up as Melanie Daniels from The Birds.
