All Hallows Eve

So Halloween has & always will be one of my favorite holidays. I always take it pretty seriously. I was never into being a slutty nurse or a french maid or anything super cliche like that. Nor have I ever been a fan of trying to scare people. I simply go for the best costume of all time every year. I wish there was a costume contest this year because I am pretty sure I would have been the winner. This year I was a troll, a full-on pink haired, jeweled belly buttoned, pointy-eared troll (did you say les troll?).

I really do enjoy Halloween so much though because I love to see everyone else's creativity. The other good ones I saw this year were Lil Jon, Elle Woods & Bernie from "Weekend At Bernie's". Other then that you had your store bought costumes that no real thought was put into, as well as your others who came up with a last minute idea & thought it was great but in reality it was not. Maybe it's a Marist thing but I know I think long & hard about my costumes & so do many of my friends. I've always been that way though so I guess you can't really pin it all on Marist.

I once was a Conehead, which I loved being. Another year my friends & I were the Wizard of Oz & I was the Cowardly Lion, which trust me was not an easy one to put together. College was when the real good ideas came though. Freshman year we were Super Mario Brothers & I was Toadstool. Sophomore year (& possibly my most favorite) was when we were Superheroes. I was Superwoman & it was amazing. Junior year we were the Fanta girls & I was the black one except I was white & had a long blonde clip on ponytail, which was obviously my favorite part. Senior year I doubled as an army girl & then a part of the R4 navy. We all had different costumes but the same hats to unite us & we were so cute. Last year the A-Team was Alvin & the Chipmunks (yours truly being Alvin).

The whole slutty thing really never caught on though with me & that is a part of Halloween that I despise. It was particularly bad in Miami where everyone just ran wild in boobie tassels & thongs (maybe not quite that extreme but pretty damn close.) I'd so much rather be creative & have people tell me that I had a great idea & have a wonderful costume. Call me crazy but I've already started thinking of ideas for next year.
