My Honey is a handsome, manly, ex-football playing kind of dude.
At least he was until I got hold of him a few Halloweens ago…
It’s amazing what pink lipstick and fake eyelashes can do, no?
What’s that? You want more scaring? You want to see the ENTIRE costume??!
If you really think you can take it, he’s at Writers In The Storm today
in all his incredible Cavewoman Glory.
(Be afraid. Be very afraid.)
I hate to leave that image, burned into your brain…
so here’s Baby Girl’s first foray into pumpkin decorating!
Happy Halloween!
Stay safe and dry!!

You’re all about undercover work. No. I didn’t mean that in the IYKWIM sense of the phrase. Although…
Anyhoo.
Unless they strip search you when you enter your hallowed halls at work, nothing prevents you from getting decked out in manly Thunderwear, tee shirts with slogans, decals on the bottoms of your shoes.
I’ll anticipate more creativity next Halloween.

Most years I find some party or excuse to dress up. Last year hubby and I were out at the camp and dressed up only to find no one was having a party and we were the only two in costume. Didn’t slow us down one bit. LOL!!
This year we’ve been busy with other stuff so we didn’t get around to it but I’ll fire you a pick of something from year’s prior. We are normally HUGE Halloween buffs!!!
Hmmmm…I wonder if hubby’d try the cavewoman costume…ROFL!!!

I need to dig out the photo of me as Catwoman, which is somewhere around here. Hmmm. The story was that my hubby and I were dressing up as Batman villains, and I found a Riddler costume for him. Talking to my sister, I said, “I was thinking of going as Catwoman, but I don’t think I can pull off the Michelle Pfeiffer look. So now I’m thinking Poison Ivy…” She answered, “Seriously? You don’t think you can pull off Michelle Pfeiffer, but you do think you can pull off Uma Thurman?!!” Ha, ha! I threw caution to the wind and bought the shiny black unitard…

I dressed my manly man up as a woman one year for Halloween. In fact, he dressed up like me and I dressed up as him. We had a great time doing it, but in spite of the name tags most people didn’t get it. However, we had a scream trying to adopt each others mannerisms and speech patterns along with their clothes.

Comments about dressing hubbies for Halloween pinged a memory cell.
I hosted a Halloween party one year. In advance of the party, I assigned each wife/husband another person to dress for Halloween. Men chose costumes for a wife other than their own. Women chose costumes for a man.
The person assigned to my 6’2″ husband chose to dress him as a ballerina. Tutu, tights, leotard and tiara. When she told me, I knew I was in deep doo-doo for having spawned the idea. His gym shorts, sloppily laced tennis shoes and cigar saved what little manly pride he could bring to the party.
I chose to liberally lace his hot, spiced, apple cider with Southern Comfort.
He swears to this day he’s missing leg hair from putting on those tights.

One year at my office, one of the guys wore his daughter’s Pocahontas costume. The image of him trying to keep the top of that dress around his chest is still vivid in my memory. He could have gone shirtless and all the women in the office would have been much happier. 😀

Hands down, the best costume I ever wore was the year I was 7 months preggers with my 3rd child. At the last minute we decided to attend a costume party, and all I could find at the costume shop (where I originally wanted to rent a lovely renaissance gown to cover my expansive figure) was a leopard print catsuit with matching lime green bolero. So, hubs and I went as a pregnant prostitute and her pimp. We were the hit of the ball, but, alas, I did not think to have pics taken. Too bad, too, ’cause I looked HOT!!
Happy halloween!
