Halloween...

One thing I never understood about Halloween is why females typically use the holiday as an excuse to dress as sleazily as possible.  Given my contrarian tendencies and unique sense of humor, I like to buck this trend.  Past costumes have included dressing up as an Oreo cookie, a black-eyed pea (I dressed in all black, with a big black patch under my eye and a "P" on my shirt) and a pregnant nun.  

This year, I wasn't too excited about the upcoming holiday.  I didn't even think I was going to make it out.  However, Friday morning at the gym, I had an epiphany: a great Halloween costume would be "The Global Financial Crisis."  

Unfortunately, after spending two hours working feverishly to put together my costume (which I am proudly displaying below), I ended up hanging out with my neighbors and drinking wine, watching scary movies and carving pumpkins.  At least through this blog, I can share my costume with my friends.  Hopefully you all can appreciate it.  If nothing else, at least it's original!
