I just put on a goatee and mustach and I go as the alternate universe version of myself. Actually I went as a photographer which helped me take [these pictures in NYC.](http://photobucket.com/albums/a145/StevenBarrett11238/Halloween/) Personally I like Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks but the cigarette smoking Tinkerbell and the ‘hotdog vendor guy’ are cool too. ---

After I download and install some software and repair some costumes, I’ll put a retrospective of my costumes on photobucket. ---

Aw heck why not. [Here’s](http://members.cox.net/dangerousnanmcgrew/group.jpg) us as X-Men. I’m Rogue. And I’m making a weird face because I’m saying something. [This](http://members.cox.net/dangerousnanmcgrew/rogue3.jpg) one is a better view of my costume. Superhero costumes are just way too fun, and you get such a great reaction from people. Can’t wait for another excuse to wear it! ---

I sometimes wear a costume to the neighborhood kwik-e-mart. On my birthday, I put on my Cthulu priest helmet and went out for a slurpee. Strangely, many people saw a large green mask and said “Go Eagles!”. The colors were wrong, and I had tentacles instead of a beak. I’ve also been using long bus rides to work on sewing a top hat and tailcoat from an old bathrobe. People tend to glance at me and avoid adjacent seats. I hope that when my work is done their responses will change to asking me about the lack of a rubber nose or floppy shoes. ---

Here’s [My costume](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/bmalion/detail?.dir=774f&.dnm=51dc.jpg) , just in time for Thanksgiving! Finally learned (I hope) how to create a photo album. ---

Wow. That really looks awesome, **BMalion**! And it’s cardboard and duct tape? You truly kick ass. I am in awe. ---
