(I decided that, in honor of Halloween, I'd revive my favorite Halloween blog here at KF. Your welcome.)
So what did I end up going as? Well, I was pretty sure I couldn't
pull off Jennifer Beals. But just before the party I had a flash of
inspiration. I went as a 42-year old, disgruntled Strawberry Shortcake.
Here I am in costume with my friend Michele, who went as a Ghostbuster.
Don't I look disgruntled? Doesn't she look adorable with a vacuum
hose in her son's backpack?
It was great. I had a whole
backstory and everything. Basically, in the late '80's I was down-sized
due to a three-rock a day crack habit and a scandal at Studio 34
involving 3 circus clowns, a gallon of everclear and a bicycle lock.
I
married He-Man in the early '90's and divorced him (mainly because Mr.
Assassin refused to go as a middle-aged, disgruntled He-Man) in the late
'90's because I got sick of hearing "By the power of Greyskull" by the
so-called "Master of the Universe" in bed - all the time. Well, that and
he was cheating on me with Jem AND the Holograms (those whores).
I
kicked drugs shortly after and am now just your average, garden-variety
alcoholic. I hate the smell of strawberry, which sucks because my hair
smells like that all the time, no matter what I do. These days I work a
few kids parties and as an occaisional "escort" just to keep vodka on
the table.
By the way, my friends thought it was weird that I had a developed back-story. Non-writers, eh?

OMG! That's too funny! I loved the backstory!
LOL! I love this. And that disgruntled Shortcake is drinking wine. Of course she is. I'm trying to convince kiddo and her friend to go to the school dance as hipster Disney Princesses. With attitudes like they had in the Shrek movie.
Thanks Robin! And Terri - not only should you convince them, but film them too. I'd pay to see that.
What's a costume without a backstory? Loved yours, hilarious!
