31 Days of October, Day 31: Day of Spam!
Oct. 31st, 2012 06:32 amIt came from the 80's!

Remember that meme I filled out the other day? No? Well, I promised/threatened pictures of old costumes. Apparently after awhile either my parents stopped taking pictures or stopped getting them developed or I just never found/ran away with those particular pictures. No one knows!
Anyway, somehow in the last 24 hours I lost She-Ra but when I find her, I'll edit her in. She's terrifying though, so maybe it's best if you're spared...
Anyway, first costume was a Fluppy Dog, which if one can believe wikipedia on this, was probably my first taste of liking something the rest of the universe didn't. :P

The boy was Lion-O. Funny how the boy and I could handle masks but Widget? Three houses in, he's all "hold this" and no. Back in my day... *shakes cane at kids on her lawn*

And another shot, only with my cousin added. The skeleton in the background? I took him super seriously because he had "joints" and you could pose him. I think he survived the move here but his head ripped off eventually, y'know, because he was probably about as old as I was at the time.

Masks off for the neighbor across the street.

Not creepy at all, right?

Wearing a completely different outfit underneath the costume for actual trick-or-treating. The boy was Donald Duck, obviously. I loved Rainbow Brite, man. Loved. Her.

Completely not Halloween, but behold my cuteness! And the cousin is there again. Note her outfit, as there are several shots of me wearing it throughout the years. That shirt, it seems, was pretty popular.
Anyway, it was included because a) I'm adorable and b) pony! And also my first MLP. But mostly pony! Hi, Blossom!
As soon as Widget is off to school, I am off to carve my Frankie!lantern. And toast pumpkin seeds. Eee! I'm so excited! Or I would be if my hands weren't frozen solid!
