Why does everyone think that's cheating? Why should you have to make a
new costume every year? Heck, I make costumes and clothing for
everyone else all year long so I never have time to make anything for
myself. I would be thrilled to have any costume to wear on Halloween.
For about 5 years now I've been wanting to make a Norma Desmond costume
from Sunset Blvd for myself--complete with the pinkie cigarette holder,
sunglasses and chin strap she wears to bed, but I've never had time.
Maybe next year...

I did not have time to put together the costume I wanted to this year,
so I 'cheated' and used a dance costume - Hand embroidered caftan
(Palestine style), black turban and about 10 lbs of Afghan jewelry.
Everyone loved it, but I was feeling somewhat cheated. :0)
Now I'm wearing a skull dress, and purple dreadfalls, and am about to
go to the pub for supper and a drink.

Subject: [h-cost] Halloween and the perception of costume
I know I'm not the only one...
I wanted to go to work all dressed up. I looked at my medieval
clothing and I just couldn't bring myself to wear this to work. For
one thing, it would be like cheating. And it wouldn't really be
something unusual to wear, from my perspective, even if people at work
have never seen me wearing it. And it would be kind of boring. And,
also, well... they're not really costumes, are they?
So, with a closet full of beautiful costumes, I had to go out of my
way to scrounge together a fantasy gypsy outfit... and it's very nice
too!
