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 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.
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.
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.
