I wore black pants, a black & white striped short-sleeved shirt, red sash at the waist, red neckerchief, straw hat, white cane with red tip and my big Wayfarer sunglasses.

Everyone immediately got that I was a gondolier and usually got that I was blind...

It took them awhile and some hints and coaxing to finally realize....

that I was indeed...

a Venetian blind! :eusa_doh:

And we had two kids about an hour apart dressed as Indiana Jones tonight.

I still went as a soccer mom: one pair of jeans, my one pair of ratty, old as dirt k-swiss, socks (! I actually have a pair) and a Houston Texans football fleece jersey with my retro White sox ball cap.

Kid went as a ninja for the 4th year running. i have all the imagination in the house. Next year, he said he wanted to be a "Gangster and you can be my moll, mommy." with a suit in green. *sigh* I'm working on him, his taste leaves something to be desired.

Did anyone recognize that you were in a costume? ;)

I was Hunter S. Thompson. Surprisingly, the party I was at had almost 1,500 people, and almost everyone thought my costume was great and everyone there knew who I was.

One year, I went as the guy from the Magritte painting. I wore a black suit and overcoat, a stiff collar, a red tie, a bowler hat, and had an apple dangling in front of my face.


I knew that anyone who'd recognize it could be a potential friend. (I like art history.) Alas, no photos of my costume, but here's the painting that inspired it:

You went as a five year old eating cherry pie?
Mr. Powers, sir, you almost made me spit Dr. Pepper at my computer screen.
However, i wasn't drinking Dr. Pepper.


Mr. Brown, I would to speak on everyone's behalf and say we think you are very talented but you scare us sometimes.:eek:

Sincerely,
THE WOLF
