I guess the most unusual Halloween costume I ever wore was as the Mushroom of Honor at my closest friend’s Halloween wedding back in the late 80s. She was Queen Elizabeth I and her betrothed was Mr. X. (Amazingly, the union didn’t last!) There are pics somewhere, but I’m too lazy to dig them out. The funnest costume I ever wore was Mae West. This pic was snapped just after a “find your cherry” pie-eating contest. I won.

I’d carry a little pouch with a bottle of suntan lotion too. Unfortunately, you’re right. I always seem to end up in places where it’s too damned cold to go out naked after August. ☹ ---

I once saw a man dressed as a farmer with a sheep attached to his groin. Always wanted to replicate that one. ---

I mounted two styrofoam wig heads on my shoulders and went as a three headed man. They had strings attached that I could pull to make them nod individually. ---

An Australian on holiday in New Zealand is walking through the countryside when he spies a farmer shagging a ewe. The Ozzie says “Y’know mate, where I come from we _shear_ those!” The Kiwi replies “Bloody hell! I’m not shearin’ this with anybody!” 🤣 ---

> [@blondebear](#): > > I mounted two styrofoam wig heads on my shoulders and went as a three headed man. They had strings attached that I could pull to make them nod individually. That’s creative! I once went as a poorly put together Medusa with a paltry number of snakes attached to my head…maybe with clothespins? I can’t remember but it was a memorable flop. Dollar Store Medusa. Or - in my era - Five and Ten Medusa. ---

I once dressed as Malibu Barbie. That may not seem extreme, but if you knew me, you’d have been quite startled. ---

Hey, walking on bare tip-toes and lying on a beach towel on the floor next to Ken was damned cold! Plus I shaved my legs and armpits, which I didn’t do at the time, so I was extra goose-bumpy in that bikini. Poor Ken wore only a stars-and-stripes Speedo. ---
