Hey, I did the Charlie Chaplin thing one year–that’s what the photo is of me on my blog–I’m covering the mustache self-consciously as the photo is being taken! And I did have a rockin’ cane! And it was either from a thrift store or the garbage (though Santa Barbara garbage is probably much better than New York City garbage). I had to paint the cane all black though. I was bummed when I moved to England and had to get rid of it as I sold all my worldly possessions.

Since you’re honorarily Canadian, I thought I’d wish you a happy Thanksgiving this weekend. What?! I can literalize your delusions of citizenship if I want.

Hahaha, thinking of Halloween costumes is always hours of amusement.

Suri. With a loaded diaper.
In the alternative, be a blog.

Be a giant pickle for Halloween. Seriously, who doesn’t love pickles?

Cheryl: Of course – the sweat pants! All pink sweats, one of those fake pig noses, and voila – I’m Babe!
Kapgar: Be my guest… on the sole condition that you post photos!

If you’re not going to use the Smurf idea, can I? No guarantees, mind you. Just another idea to toss around.

My mom was always a fan of any costume that had sweats as its base. If you think outside the all-black box, there are lots of things you can do with all-green (Kermit), all-pink (Energizer Bunny) or all-red (um…some Republican state?).
But I do like the stuffed animal prize machine idea. Urine-soaked Paddington Bears need love too, you know.

Elle: Okay, now you’re just pulling my leg… or are you?
Dave2: A baked potato is an awesome costume! Will you be wrapped in tinfoil? Chives or no chives?
Myson: Yeah, I think you went the right route with the blue shirt vs. blue paint!
Jess: You’re a clever one, aren’t you?!
Tracy Lynn: Well, I certainly have the hair to be Weird Al – and who knew he tapped?
Shari: See – that’s my problem. I set the bar too high last year, and I really don’t think I want to invest quite as much time and money into building a costume this year. That’s why most of these ideas got nixed!
Sarah: I love it! Brilliant in its simplicity.
Margaret: So funny that you mentioned Willy Wonka – that was also on the rejected list. I was thinking of going as Veruca Salt, and my friend Nat was going to be the blueberry girl. Really, I was just looking for an excuse to run around all night saying, “Snozzb’ry? Who ever heard of a snozzb’ry?!”
Amanda: It’s yours for the taking!
