Halloween is a wonderful time of year when you are a child. Basically you dress up in an outrageous costume and go door to door begging for candy. What could be better than a bag full of candy and a beautiful fall night?

What was your favorite costume?

When I was a child, I always wanted to be a beautiful princess. This didn’t change as I became a teenager. I wanted to be seen as attractive and sexy. I never wanted to be seen as ugly or scary. I’ve been the beautiful Indian Princess, the Sexy beach babe and the stunning mermaid. While my sisters went as the scary witch or the evil snowman, I had to be beautiful. You can say it… I was shallow. 

As an adult, the choices have been easier if you wanted to be noticed for your costume. The police woman in the skimpy uniform or the naughty nurse… even now a sexy big bird.  It is wonderful to have so many choices but now my choices have changed.  I’m always looking for something unique.  There are always so many passionate princesses at each party. Now I want to be the costume that everyone talks about the next day! Whether it was the crash test dummy or the pregnant nun… I wanted people to be amazed by my creativity..Yep.. still shallow but in a different way! :)

My favorite costume was one that my husband wore one year. He went as a condom machine.  It actually worked. You could put a quarter in the slot and a condom would come out the bottom of the machine. What’s a better costume for a Halloween party filled with drinking! At least everyone could be safe!

GIVEAWAY!

Leave a comment about your favorite Halloween costume for a chance to win a $25 Itunes gift card and an ebook copy of my book- Protecting His Wolfe. You can read about it here:

Just like the theater, Halloween is my outlet to allow me the chance to be creative and have fun with my imagination, we all know the costumes make it more real and you can come to life. ~ or so says my inner child.

I just couldn't get into the theater this year. I really wanted to do something fun but for half a day at work??? Really??

My favorite costumes are my mother's old clothes. I've worn her old disco outfits a few times. Since I liked that so much I saved some of my old 80s and 90s clothes and my teen now wants to dress in those for Halloween.

There is something to be said for being a Disney princess. I still remember the smell of the plastic masks!

I loved the ones my mom put together at the thrift store. It has become our tradition. We take my son, he even is amazed at how she let's you pick a piece you love and can build a customer around it. Last year we were all folks from the forties.

Okay, this will show my age but my favorite Halloween costume when I was young was the "I Dream of Jeanie" costume my mother made for me - it was an exact duplicate and I even carried around a decorated bottle! Thanks for the giveaway!

Melissa Keir link

I wonder if it dates me too since I know all about I Dream of Jeanie!

My favorite type of costume is one you can create on your own with stuff you have (sewing machine may be needed)

Happy Halloween!! Thank you so much for the awesome hop and giveaway! :) My favorite costume was dressing as a goth. Well, i cant really say it was my favorite but my cousins, siblings and i all dressed the same and went as a group. We had so much fun. Its my favorite Halloween. It holds a special place in my heart.
