Now Mama, don't be bad that I'm showing this picture (I know you won't be) because I think it's hilarious and I'm not scarred by the grouch costume!.... Short back story, I went to Catholic school growing up and we always had a Halloween carnival and I'm not sure what happened this particular year but it was one of my most memorable costumes. Although at the time it may have been traumatic it's now 20 something years later totally hilarious and fitting!! That's crazy that the fact it "fits" me now trumps the traumatized part ;)
Like I said I'm not sure why I didn't have a costume yet but my mom had to buy it on the way home from work, the night of the carnival so of course it was slim pickens.... I was not present for the picking of the costume, which means I didn't have much say, obviously! Even though my mudda would never consider moi, her own daughter a grouch this is what she picked for me. It's because it was the last costume right mama?! So here I am Shana playing the role as Oscar the Grouch!!
And don't worry I have plenty other memories of being something 'girly' for Halloween like a gypsy, punk rocker umm.. that's all I can think of right now! Did you ever have a silly costume that you will remember to this day?
