Happy Halloween!
I'm not dressing up this year, so I can't tell you about my costume. Halloween makes me nervous because I can't do the slutty costume thing so I always feel frumpy and ridiculous. For example, yesterday I got made fun of because I admitted that my favorite costume ever was a nurse of the non-skanky variety. Just because I REALLY enjoyed attending the sorority social in tennis shoes and scrub pants for a change doesn't make me a boring person. I thought I looked cute with my stethoscope! And more importantly, I was comfortable.
Anyway, since I'm not dressing up, I still owe the world one costume. So here's your treat for Halloween 2K7:
Yes, that's me in third grade dressed as Oprah Winfrey. To be completely honest, this wasn't for Halloween but for a book report. But a costume is a costume. Please notice the God-awful hair, pre-braces teeth, my mother's old cat eye glasses with the lanyard, big earrings, big necklace, tacky diamond bow pin on my right shoulder, hideous dress that looks like a curtain with puffy sleeves, tiered skirt hip bow (as if I had hips in third grade), tights and of course - Sam n Libbys.
Please remember that the Sam n Libbys were the only part of my real wardrobe (I think the dress was my sister's - HA!) I am clearly in COSTUME. This is not how I dressed on a daily basis or I'd have beaten myself up.
Y'all are welcome.
PS - The One With The Halloween Party is one of my all-time favorite Friends episodes. Try to watch it if you can.

Did you give cars to everyone in your class?
ReplyDeleteThat is not my dress!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's not? Whose was it? I know it wasn't mine.
ReplyDeleteSo when was this, 1998?
ReplyDeleteAnd whatever on the costume excuse, you were just dressed up for your recorder recital before parent teacher conferences.
What a cute little nerd you were:)
1 - We did have a recorder but i didn't know how to play it
ReplyDelete2 - We also had an accordian, but my granddad gave it to me in junior high. Still not sure why. Not even a foggy clue. Do you know, Jennie?
3 - Not 1998, try 1991 or 1992. So 6 or 7 years earlier. Wow. That is scary. Only 6 or 7 years after this picture was made (aka, I looked like that) I was in high school. Luckily I had braces in the interim.
oh my gosh. I just laughed out loud.
