Hi Katie, I guess my favorite costume was with the past few years. I don't remember my childhood costumes so much, it was too long ago, lol. I was a ghost bride and went to South Side and hardly anyone was dressed up, except me and a friend!

Hi Katie! A few years ago I dressed up as a gorilla and scared Petey and all her buddies at a friend's Halloween party... they didn't think it was funny but I got a good laugh from it!

My mom made an Indian costume for me with a matching one for my Cabbage patch kid doll. I even had a papoose that she made and I wore the doll on my back.

My favorite was when I was in high school and went as mama from Mamas Family. I put a bunch of pillows to make my butt look bigger. I fell down a hill that year running, but the pillows saved me. I still look at the pictures and laugh....it was so my moms idea!!

I came from a very large family and we all would fight over one of the only white sheets that was not being used. Needless to say a ghost was a big costume in my family...

My favorite costume was an angel...it was special because my dad made the wings.
ReplyDeleteMy first year at a new school (7th grade) I went to the halloween dance dressed as Female Genie. I was under the impression that people dressed up. However, I was the ONLY student in a costume! AND my mother refused to bring me clothes (called her from the pay phone) because she said I looked cute and should not be embarassed!
ReplyDeleteoops, forgot my email address...shirleyannfleming17@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI was Gomez- the dad from The Addams Family-because there were no boys in our group. The pictures are hilarious!

When I was little I dressed up as a Pillow Person. :) Anyone remember them?
ReplyDeletemandytoy@windstream.net
OMG I can remember it like it was YESTERDAY! In Kindergarten I wanted so badly to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. I begged for weeks. My mom sent me as a freaking DAISY> With full giant white petals coming from my head. I was so embarrassed and mad!! Hahah
ReplyDelete^^^cmlocastro21@gmail.com^^ whoops forgot to add that :)
ReplyDeleteI remember dressing up as a trampled cheerleader and all the teachers in school thought I was really injured. Had the neck brace, ace bandages, crutches and make-up. It surely is one that won't be forgotten. lol

Most memorable for me was my Lone Ranger costume when I was about 5 years old. I still have it somewhere, but neither of my kids would wear it... or knew who the Lone Ranger was...

My favorite Halloween costume from my childhood would have to be Raggedy Ann. My mom always did the best job at making my costumes, I only wish I had the talent to sew!
ReplyDeletebrinings4@verizon.net
Ok this is not my costume but my sisters she went as a bag of garbage! We put her in the bag, cut holes for her arms, filled it with newspaper tied it around her neck then put some dirt on her face! But I felt she need some accessories so I made her earrings out of used tea bags and then bobby pinned a banana peel on top of her head!!

Hi Katie, I love your creativity and of course your cookies. My favorite costume was when I got to dress up as a witch and wear a long black cape, a big pointy hat, and carry a broom! My mom had beautiful long french braids hanging out from under the hat ;) I was a very fancy witch.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween Katie!!

Hi, Katie! I'll never forget the time I was about ten years old and my girlfriend was about 9 years old and we were trick or treating in our neighborhood. It was very dark, and my girlfriend tripped on the bottom of her costume, fell backwards down two flights of stairs that go up into someone's home, and she rolled out into the street. Well, she got up and she was okay, thank God, but a yellow taxi cab was driving up the street and ran over her whole bag of candy. I felt so bad that I gave her half of the candy I collected. We are still best friends to this day!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Katie! I misread your request. My favorite and most hilarious costume was when I was a giant lion. It had this huge head and it was so big, I had a hard time seeing in it. Another one (a tie with the lion) was when I was dressed as an 8 foot rabbit, while I was pregnant with one of my kids. My "ears" got caught in someone's clothes line and I almost fell backwards. It was a close call, but we laugh about it today!
ReplyDeleteMy funniest costume from childhood was a homemade pumpkin costume that we stuffed with bed pillows. It was incredibly awkward and occassionaly difficult to move but very picture worthy. led1357@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe most memorable would have to be The Lone Ranger and also I was a two headed monster with my friend (which was just two sweatshirts sewn together. It.was embarrassing) Hope I win!
ReplyDeleteLOL....Rob entered to win because I only ever give him broken or defective cookies and I think he's tired of it! Bahaha...no worries, his entry won't count :)
ReplyDeleteSad to admit but in grade school I went as half boy half girl... :)

One year my son was a box of diapers. I cut off the handle and put it on his head,cut the bottom out and cut holes in the sides of the box for his arms to come through. He looked so cute. Of course diapers don't come in boxes any more.
