Halloween Yet Once Again

This year I was supposedly the Big Bad Wolf after he had eaten Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother.

The Fourth Grade Team

Alice in Wonderland, Norman Bates, Little Red Riding Hood, and Mr. Listmaker
All of the kids let me know that she looks much better in my shirt than I do. This is the second time that someone has been me for Halloween. Jamie did it back in '93 and I would kill to have a copy of one of those pictures.
Best costume ever! This kid was in my class last year and became a huge Mets fan by June.
So do I look more like Norman Bates or an elf grandmother?
Thank you to Go Fish for providing the shawl (and the dress that was too tight to actually make the final cut), Mary for opening the door for me at 7:30 this morning to lend me the bathrobe, and to SHR for arranging my wig last night.

Only 364 more days until I have to worry about throwing together yet another costume.

How did that kid get the Mr. Met head? Is that papier-mache?

planbreaker said...

I might have a copy of Jamie as you! I'll look the next time I head up to my parents' house.

Now the question is, who will you kill for it?

alex your tintin costume from a few years ago was pretty top notch.

i'm not going to kill anyone, pb, but i would love to see that picture. i have a vague recollection of what i looked like, but i'm sure the truth would be a bit horrifying.

Listmaker said...

the mr. met head was made by the kid's dad who is a fashion designer. i think it was papier-mache.

At first glance I thought you were trying to pull off a double whammy, dressing as Mike Lowell dressed as John Madden. After closer study I see your original intent, however.
