The Land Of Make-Believe

I have nothing to write about today.
So I got this cheesy survey off the Interwebz instead — enjoy!

How old do you think is too old to dress up for Halloween?
NEVER!

How old are you?
35 going on 12

Are you into scary or sexy costumes?
The "sexy" costume craze has gotten out of control. Last year I saw a "sexy" Canadian Mountie and a "sexy" Sherlock Holmes. Seriously, ladies?

Will you/Did you dress up this Halloween?
Yes, and yes.

How many times do you plan to wear your costume this year?
Uh, once...? Have they extended Halloween without telling me?

What is your costume name?
"AWESOME"

Describe your costume?
My last costume was Adam Lambert. He is indescribable.

Where will you be celebrating Halloween?
Where WON'T I be celebrating Halloween?!?

When was the last time you went trick-or-treating?
High school. I was taking my little sister around the neighborhood, but that was really just an excuse.

Have you ever entered a costume contest?
Psssht. My department won 4 company-wide contests in a row while I was at my last job. The year that I left, they didn't even enter.

How soon did you know what you wanted to dress up as this year?
I literally decided this Halloween what I was going to be next Halloween.

When did you get your costume?
Last year I started late — end of August.

Do you deck out with lots of accessories, or just what it came with?
Dude, the accessories make the costume! And my costumes don't "come with" anything — that's cheating.

How much did you spend total on your costume this year?
Oh man, the boots alone cost $50...

Have you ever made a home-made costume?
Ever? Are you kidding me? ALL my costumes are home-made, bitch!

If so, what was it?
In chronologically descending order:
* Adam Lambert
* Lara Croft: Womb Raider
* Tia Dalma from Pirates Of The Caribbean
* a Vegas showgirl
* pregnant Britney Spears
* Medusa
* a Geisha
* a Hindu Goddess
* dead Princess Di
* Kitana from Mortal Kombat
* Shelly from The Crow (this was part of a couples costume)
* a Manson girl (this was part of a group costume)

What is your favorite couples costume idea?
The year that The Crow came out, I was in college and every frat party had at least 16 guys dressed as the Crow. One of them was arguing with my boyfriend at the time that he had the more authentic costume because his had the necklace with Shelly's ring. My boyfriend goes, "Well, I have Shelly," as I turn the corner in my white nightgown and dead girl makeup, with a white rose and wearing my own ring. The guy's jaw drops and he goes, "Damn. You win." Then he got me a beer.

What is your favorite group costume idea?
A few years ago, my sister and her friends dressed up as the characters from Clue — really brilliant, detailed costumes — and they each had their own weapon — the rope, the candlestick, the lead pipe. I was so jealous.

Name one of your childhood costumes?
Oh God, they were always those cheap plastic ones with the masks you couldn't breathe through. I think once I was Holly Hobby.

Do your parents still dress up for Halloween?
I don't remember my parents ever dressing up for Halloween. Except that one time I lent my mom my Ranger jersey so she could wear sweatpants to work as a "hockey player."

Do you already know what you want to dress up as next year?
Duh.
