(okay...I'm lazy this year...it's SCA garb <g>)
ah but it's Halloween, you need to add a Wagnerian style 'Viking' horned
helmet (preferably with long blonde braids attached) and call yourself
Brunhilda, for Halloween you've got to be a modern stereotype, not an
accurate historical 'everyman' (or 'everywoman' in this case), you can dress
as a famous historical figure (Marie Antoinette, Cleopatra, Napoleon, Henry
VIII etc) but if you're an average woman of year X in true Halloween
tradition it should be a stereotype like a 'wench' or a 'flapper' or a
'Viking' (in the style of a Wagnerian opera). Halloween is about pop-culture
stereotypes, not historical accuracy :-D
I won't be dressing up for Halloween as I'll be at home all day preparing
for an exam on Friday so I suppose I can't really talk.
