I love Halloween...

[amanuensis1]

You know what would be the coolest Halloween costume? You go as Janet from the "Tam Lin" ballad--since the key action takes place on Halloween--and you dress in a bodice-y gown but you dress pregnant and go carrying a stuffed dummy that's this sewn-together combo of lion/dragon/python/man, and make a point of not putting the dummy down all evening.

Damn, I'll never get that together by Monday.

Of course, I'd have to hang around people who GET it, but, why worry about details. ^_^

Eh, go for it. And you'll educate them just by walking past.

You'll appreciate this one: one Halloween I dressed in a long green dress and a crown of flowers and bare feet like an earth goddess and wore this big placard around my neck:
