For example, there was no way I could make a recognizeable Yoda hat, so I bought that for #2, but I managed the Princess Leia wig on my own! <BR/><BR/>Jody W.Jody W. and Meankittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13733607365443126784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-27443905050363067292008-10-31T15:15:00.000-05:002008-10-31T15:15:00.000-05:00GREAT rant!Neither of my kids ever got bought cost...GREAT rant!<BR/><BR/>Neither of my kids ever got bought costumes here--though their father, blast the idjit, bought them costumes one year they were with him.<BR/><BR/>One year my son was a mummy with torn jeans, t shirt and old bandages. My daughter was a witch by wearing a nightie and stripped tights, and cheap makeup, with a cardboard pointy hat.<BR/><BR/>Another year she was a crayola (she designed the costume, I made it, still have it) and he was a corpse with a knife handle on his chest and the tip coming out of his back, and a bit of blood around his mouth.<BR/><BR/>I don't mind the sexy so much (I'm weird that way) as I mind the consumerism and oneupmanship it encourages.aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-60620756606650261392008-10-31T14:44:00.000-05:002008-10-31T14:44:00.000-05:00I'd much rather see kids dressed in homemade costu...I'd much rather see kids dressed in homemade costumes. Encourages creativity and discourages early sluttiness. Last year at the preschool I had exactly one kid in a home made costume, but her mom is a designer for Guess so I'm not sure it counted.Christa Mauricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885531885429532943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-88088659991634643082008-10-31T13:10:00.000-05:002008-10-31T13:10:00.000-05:00This year The Boy and I are vikings.

Last year we were pirates. <BR/><BR/>Neither costume cost more than $8. <BR/><BR/>It's so much more fun to make a costuem, to see what you can do with an old blanket, some towels, and a bunch of costume jewelery.Seeley deBornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02692166883821777947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-48788817389596994172008-10-31T13:07:00.000-05:002008-10-31T13:07:00.000-05:00I had to throw away my makeup this year too.

Out it went. :)<BR/><BR/>Give my son a can of pray paint, and he can whip together a costume in nothing flat. This year he's some kind of zombie hunter from a video game.Carolan Iveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964204665748083341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-80316139993288251602008-10-31T13:03:00.000-05:002008-10-31T13:03:00.000-05:00I agree that some costumes for girls are waaaay to...I agree that some costumes for girls are waaaay too suggestive. And pricey to boot!<BR/><BR/>This year, both my girls (11 and 8) are going as zombie mimes. Tag line from the 8 year old: they get you because you never hear them coming. I had to pick up a couple of items, like new makeup and white gloves, but basically they're wearing striped shirts and their own pants.<BR/><BR/>Happy Halloween!Cathy in AKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667978358875270260noreply@blogger.com
