Happy Halloween!

You'd be surprised how many people didn't "get" this outfit at the neighborhood Halloween party last night.  It's like what are you, blind *and* deaf?

I love it, Barb! Please be sure to post your costume here too:

To me, this costume represents the battle between the red and blue states. Am I warm at all??

p.s. I especially love the shoes!

Oh, poop.  Sorry I missed that thread.  I'll post it over there, too.

I like your take on it, but actually I'm supposed to be a "Devil With a Blue Dress On" (like the song).

I saw a really cool one last night - another girl came as half devil, half angel, cut right down the middle.  Even painted half her face all red and had fire-engine red hair on that side and platinum blonde on the other (she used a rinse on her own hair, which is platinum blonde.  Hope it comes out OK!)

I actually already had the dress and shoes - I bought them the same day many years ago to wear to a semi-formal New Year's Eve party.  Never wore either since, so they are in mint condition.  I just had to buy the wig with horns and pitch fork, which I found at my friendly neighborhood Target.

Voted the best costume of the year.

Well I went walking thru the French Quarter in New Orleans last night and I was disappointed not to see any guys dressed up as cowboys.  And there were alot of gays. Is BBM already passee?  Then again, dressing up like a cowboy might just mean your a tourist visiting from Houston or points farther west.

I'm going back down Tuesday evening as that will certainly be the big night.  It's usually a hoot to see who/what will be spoofed this year.   Ppl can be quite cleaver and creative.

Your costume like quite catchy there Ednabarby.   The Devil wears

Barb,

"Devil with the blue dress on": that's fabulous!

I was out to dinner in Provincetown last night and there were ten Madonnas !!  Ten guys each dressed as a different Madonna: i.e. Like a Virgin Madonna, Evita Madonna, League of Their Own Madonna, Blonde Ambition Madonna, Ray of Light Madonna, etc.  Very creative.

I'm  going as a cowboy this year, but that looks strange enough in New England, vs New Orleans.

I went out to a Hallow's eve party and street party last night dressed as Alex from 'A Clockwork Orange' and in the vast celebration in the gay part of town saw many many many many cowboys, but this is Texas. It's hard to tell when someone is 'dressing up' Brokeback or just normally dresses like that.

I think I saw one for certain - he wore both the striped Ennis shirt covered with the denim Jack shirt.

You look beautiful, Barb.  I like Lee's take on the red and blue states - and which is the devil.

Oh, I didn't even think of The Devil Wears Prada.  No wonder so many people have been so confused.
