Past Halloween Awards

The award for most frustrating costume goes to...

The Scarecrow from Wizard of Oz

Even though I went trick or treating with my sister 

and everyone could easily tell that she was Dorothy,

nobody could figure out who I was.

(Don't blame yourself mom, you did a great job at sewing all that hay into my overalls)

Least disguising disguise...

Witch

I was so sure that nobody would recognize me with my green face paint,

pointed nose, and frizzy hair.

I was wrong.

Most repeated costume...

Hippy

One of the best decisions my mom ever could have made was

to save her bell bottoms from the 70s.

Best Costume...

Siamese Twin from the 80s

I will always hold dear in my heart the year that 

Irene and I scrambled around Provo to sew two eighties outfits together.

Nothing could top the ghetto blaster we took turns carrying on our shoulders.

Also, I loved that my "twin" was almost a foot shorter than me.

So bummed that I don't have photographic evidence of this one.

This will have to suffice:

Best Choice Made On Halloween Night...

Foregoing trick-or-treating

so that I wouldn't miss

this film on TV:

(Yes, we owned a VCR)

Worst Halloween Choice

If you get invited to a party the weekend before Halloween and it says: "Costumes optional,"
what that really means is: "Don't wear a costume and you'll be tagged in an embarrassing picture on facebook, so all your 'friends' can give you grief for not dressing up." Next year, I better plan ahead better.
