my DD [age 10] chose to be a mime this year. She is wearing her own black pants, a black and white striped shirt borrowed from a friend, and we bought her rainbow suspenders and a black beret. She likes to come up with her own thing so fortunately [so far] is not influenced by these risque costumes.

But I just read somewhere this weekend [on here? I can't remember] someone saying she had been to a halloween party [adults] and she was the only one not dressed as a scantily clad "something" -- witch, nurse, cheerleader, etc. I went to a halloween party [granted, a family party] and the women were dressed as a hippie [me], little red riding hood [demure version], a queen, and a scarecrow.

I obviously hang with a different crowd.
