Am…musings

My darker, shorter ‘do and relationship status inspired my costume this year. It started with the hair, which I decided was quite Snow White like.

Ol’ Snow has a very lovely dress, but it would have required some extensive sewing … and I’m no sewer … or a purchased costume … and I’ve never been a big fan of spending a ton on a costume I’ll likely only wear once. Plus, to me a Halloween get-up should be a little more creative than something I pull out of a package … a belief I guess I learned from my parents because I recall always having cool costumes as a kid, but honestly don’t ever remember them being packaged.

After a little noodling, I decided the red headband, poisoned apple and little birdie perched on my hand would be recognizable along with an outfit I either already owned or could buy and wear again … unlike the pre-fab costume.

To complete the ensemble, a personal ad tacked to the apple to explain my “modern-day” garb and to make it a little more fun and creative …

Modern-day Snow White seeks Prince Charming
to break spell of singlehood with amazing kiss
followed by happily ever after.

Guys … dwarfs or otherwise … named Sleazy,
Sloppy, Shifty, Crazy, Pervy, Creepy or
CommitmentPhobe-y need not apply.

Happy Halloween!
