For Halloween that is.
In my latter years I've always tried to be creative. Something original.
As a youth I had plenty of common costumes.
Vampire, Power Ranger, Ninja, Harry Potter, Soldier, etc.
One year when I was like 11 I went as the Phantom of the Opera. Now you don't see every kid dressing as that for Halloween.
Sometimes I was an odd child.
But in my recent years I've had to think more.
My costumes from teenage-dom til now have been better.
Most of them are inside jokes. One year I dressed up as my Dad. You'd have to know him (I love you Dad!). The next year I went as this super old pumpkin costume that my parents had made all eight of us wear as children. It was a little small on me but the family got a laugh out of it. Then I was a "chick-magnet", I wore a shirt with a magnet on it, with pictures of baby chickens. The next year I wore a "Nudist on Strike" sign over a bathrobe (Don't worry, I had clothes on underneath).
This year I was...what would you call it? I've had many names for it. The most popular one is "Walk-in[g] Closet". Basically I decided to put on almost all of the clothes I owned at the same time. Check it out:
Huh? Huh? Pretty cool right? I don't have a full-size picture yet or you could get the full effect. I'll show you later.
I even won "Most Original Costume" at my ward Halloween party. I guess they felt sorry for me and my 12 layers of clothes.
All said and done, a pretty solid Halloween. Except it's 10:15 and I'm at home...and we've had no trick-or-treaters...or gone trick-or-treating....
I did get ten doughnuts as a prize for my costume though. Yeah, I'd say that's a win.
Until next time...Cameron's costume 1, Lame Halloween 0
