Lady Gaga, Disney princess, Spiderman, Snooki? We’ve come a long way from the original notion of Halloween costumes.

That's interesting...I thought of what I would be (evil character or some disney character) and it was true to some extent.

It is an interesting article.

This year ~ in fact, today (for work) ~ I'm dressed as Marie Laveau, Voodoo Queen of New Orleans in the 1800's. One of my most enjoyable costumes so far. I'd place her in the Powerful Characters category (since she was feared AND respected), and I'd say that the analysis is quite true. I'd love to have her powers, and she's kinda' my "idol".

However, my costumes tend to change radically from year-to-year, so I don't know what THAT says about me.

I used to be the vampire. Some years I was a sexy vampire like Elvira and some years I was a ghoulish vampire. I spoze if I ever dressed up again, I would be a ghoulish vampire since I'm now too old and too fat to be the sexy vampire.

I dressed up like Nurse Kratchit from Cuckoo's Nest last night, but added white stockings (common nursing attire in the sixties), a long black wig, and white stilettos. I had several of those knife things stuck into me. Awesome evening!! Maybe when I find the right guy, I'll play nurse for him!!
