Leave a comment here to enter. If you link to a photo of the costume in question, I’ll give you 5 entries, otherwise just one per comment.<\/p>\n

One prize to most embarrassing costume and one prize to coolest costume.<\/p>\n

Enter by midnight (Eastern time) on Oct 31. I’ll choose the winners and post sometime on Sunday Nov 1.<\/p>\n

To start things off, I’ll share the fact that when I was in the 5th grade I dressed up as a trash bag. I’ve never had much imagination about costumes and my mom was even worse! I wore black tights and one of those old black Hefty bags filled with paper so it looked like a full bag. Thankfully, no photos exist.<\/p>\n

My coolest costume would be a tie between wearing a black vintage cocktail dress with huge hat and enormous faux pearl so I looked like a 30s film star.I was in college at the time and I wore this to a party my sorority had with some fraternity.\u00a0 Somewhere I have a photo of me and some guy “water-skiing” on a table. I’ll try and find it to share.<\/p>\n

The other cool costume was when my boyfriend and I both wore black suits and dark glasses and went as Men in Black. I wanted a plastic gun and honestly it was nearly impossible to find! It’s easier to buy a real gun than to find a toy gun. I ended up with some Star Wars thing. Anywaym we both looked pretty cool and got a lot of compliments on our costumes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
