"So! Let's go! This week's challenge is to list 5 of your favorite ways to dress up for Halloween. You could list your favorite costumes from when you were a trick-or-treater, or you could list ways you would like to dress up today (if you didn't think the little brat from next door would laugh at you). In either case, have fun!"
1. I remember my mother loved to make costumes out of felt. One year I was a caterpillar and won a costume contest.
2. My mom once tried to make me a tomato, but the left over red fabric she used had little tiny white dots on it. Everyone thought I was more of a strawberry. I remember being self conscious anyway because the costume was stuffed to plumb me out.
3. I did the 80's punk rock look with my best friend. Trick or treating in heels I can't recommend.
4. Hobo- Doesn't every kid trick or treat in this costume at least once? Its the classic, I want candy, but I don't want to put together a costume trick.
5. Princess - This was the store bought costume I just had to have one year. For some twisted reason, it came with a plastic mask, fully decked out with makeup and fake blond hair and tiara. Common sense would be to apply real makeup to your child, but instead this came with a fake princess face. I remember the mask getting bumped on my head while trying to go through a haunted house. I couldn't see a thing.

Oh, you were REALLY into Halloween! I like the tomato that became a strawberry. LOL
You know, Dawn, I really and truly can't remember an outfit I dressed up in. I went trick or treating, from the time I was 4 or 5, but I don't remember my costumes. I DO remember one year my grandparents had dressed up as an old man and woman (only in their late 40s back then... not old at all!). They came to the door, after I was back from begging, and they scared the daylights out of me because they came through the door yelling trick or treat! I stopped begging when I hit 7th grade, and haven't been dressed up since! Kind of sad when you think about it.
I truly enjoy Halloween. My favorite part is seeing all the younger children in their costumes and how excited they get when you give them their treats. They are just so adorable.
the 80's rocked!

I have always enjoyed Halloween!:o) I was a hobo on more than one occasion and tried my share of DIY costumes as a kid too. Needless to say, those attempts weren't great. They were creative, just not great looking. lol We also had some of the store bought costumes with vinyl or cheap material and plastic masks that made me sweat. :o)
One year, I attempted to be a bunch of grapes. I was quite scary looking with a purple wig and purple makeup on my face. I scared small children at our church get together. lol That was the year my mom tricked everyone and no one knew who she was. She dressed as an old lady with a mask completely covering her head. That was the coolest costume and everyone got a kick out of it! :o)
I think my favorite costume was the year I made a Taz head and went as the Tazmanian Devil. I had never made such a headpiece before and with encouragement from a friend, I went full force and made it look really good!:o) *patting myself on the back*
I dress up each year and love every minute of it!:o)
oh yeah did the punk thing too lol
My entire life, I've tried to enjoy Hallowe'en, but I never did. I just never got into it. Funny, for a former gutter-punk/goth, huh? Maybe because everyday might've been like "Hallowe'en" anyway? I dunno. It's not hugely celebrated here in Australia, so I don't miss it.
