Dress me up

This weekend is Halloween. And because we are in the middle of a pandemic, I will not be wearing a costume and I will not be going out to celebrate as I have done during previous years (and Debra has given me some very good ideas!!) . Not that I've been very prone to wear a costume, mind you. I think the last costume I wore was basically devil horns, black lipstick and a tail you could clip to your belt. Yes, I'm basic. But I promise I'll improve. When the pandemic ends, I’m gonna have Maddie drag me up for Halloween, I promise. For shits and giggles. 

I don't usually dress up because I refuse to go out in a skimpy costume (if you are going to dress up for Halloween, why not be downright slutty?) in the cold Chicago night. Even though they say tomorrow is going to be in the fifties, I've gone out to ask for candy from strangers when it's lower forties out. Halloween has been pretty chilly during these last years and even though I've done some bar hopping to celebrate, I have mostly tended to stay home and watch scary movies instead of braving the weather in my underwear.

But I have to say that for this year I would not have minded going out as a cookie, or Dionne or Aladdin or Pooh. I think this social distancing thing has made me nostalgic of what I did not do other years. We always want what we cannot have. But as of today, no dressing up. I just did some baggies with candy that will go in a little basket in case some kid shows up at the door and wants some socially-distant candy, though. 

And you, what's your fav costume from the ones the guys tried on? Would you be my monster?
