I just posted some costume details, too.
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Is the guy in the mask Steampunk Bosley?
Heh. No. That was our mysterious masked coworker. He wouldn't speak until after the parade was done.
The costumes are reminding me of something from my childhood.
When I was, oh, about 10 or 12, our church had a Halloween party. Mom and dad let me get a Planet of the Apes full head mask (spend-y back then!) and I put on one of my older brothers' leather jacket as well. Mom and dad also had cheaper male and female ape masks with elastic strings.
From the moment we got there I went into full ape mode, crouching and grunting and generally hamming it up while mom and dad socialized.
In the end we won the costume contest (Hey, it was a Methodist church, variety was not a by word) as the "ape family." There were many people who hadn't guessed who we were.
That may have been my first experience hiding behind a character, come to think of it.
I bought black fairy wings at Target for Halloween. I'll probably put those on with a black skirt and blouse to answer the door tomorrow.

Cool. Leif came in second in a costume contest at our Methodist Church when last he entered. He was dressed as a penguin (a wonderful home-made costume). First place when to someone in a store bought costume like you'd see on a rack in Wal-Mart, Leif was robbed.
When I was a freshman, we had a Halloween party with our dorm wing and a woman's wing. I won the costume contest. All I did was borrow a band uniform from a friend in high school....
Dammit. I bought a halloween tshirt that glows in the dark (good for my job) and completely forgot to wear it. Oh well. I only had 1 appointment today anyway.

For shame, for shame. That stinks.
Moment of ewwww....class finished up, I dismissed the kids, then looked down and saw a worm coming out of the wall and slithering across the floor. This wall is an inside wall mind you, not a wall to the outside. Ewww.... I made the teacher next door dispose of it for me.
