Top 5 Tuesday: Halloween Costumes

Some years I had a great costume, and other years were real busts.  This year *might* be the first year I don't dress up, although Halloween hasn't come and gone yet, so who knows.  This specific Top 5 Tuesday is difficult...I had some cute costumes.  (I will add pictures if I can find them).

(Side note:  Elliott will be a little monster for Halloween!  Meg bought him the costume and it is so cute!)

5. Alice (From Alice in Wonderland): My parents bought me the dress from the Disney store as a nice outfit, but I wore it as a costume first.  I guess I was about 4 years old, or 3 just about to turn 4.  It was so cute.

4. Hawkeye Pierce (From MASH): I was really into the show MASH when I was in 7th and 8th grades.  I was originally just going to go as an Army nurse, but with my mom's help, the costume evolved into very specifically Hawkeye.  I wore olive drab clothing, a Hawaiian shirt, a blue bathrobe, a bucket hat (which they always wore when they went golfing), and painted on stubble.  One person guessed correctly the entire evening, but a lot of people guessed I was someone from MASH.  One person was very clever and guessed I was Klinger in reverse.

3. Princess and the "Pee": I dressed as a princess (gown from Ross, tiara) and carried around a fake specimen container with "pee" (actually, lemon candy).  Props for this go to Sara and Megan for our Urinetown gifts.

A year later, that dress barely fit.

A 2. Twin from The Shining: The Masque costume room is a treasure trove for Halloween costumes.  Pam and I discovered three matching dresses, and we decided this would be a good costume.  We were fairly creepy looking.  The following year, Liz C. and I used the costumes for the Masque Haunted House (Pam had to be a zombie because she was a campus tour guide).  

I didn't have to buy a thing for this costume.

1. Juno (From Juno): Jason and I went as Juno and Paulie, complete with fake stomach, Sunny D, and orange-flavored Tic-Tacs.  I always said if I was pregnant over Halloween, I would wear the costume again.  I was pregnant last Halloween, but I didn't know it yet and I certainly wasn't showing.

2007: Jason, Sara, and I reverse roles.

2010: A sexy cosmo.  My shoes had little lime wedges too!

- I'm peachy.
