On this Wishful Wednesday, I wish you happy memories of your favorite Halloween costume. Some of my fav vintage costumes were; when I dressed up like a deck of cards, dyed my hair pink and orange and became
Cyndi Lauper and when I was older I dressed up as a pink genie and walked
Castro Street. Trust me the men looked better in a dress then I did.
There was one house in our neighborhood that the children didn't like trick or treating at because the owner was a dentist. And instead of candy, we would receive an apple and a toothbrush. Don't you think it's time I got over this?
Work it, work it...Own it, own it!
Oh yum! Is this is cake? Hold on as I go and get a fork.
And our vintage Halloween wouldn't be complete without the mention of Elvira,
Mistress of the Dark. She was a character from my childhood. Yes, I know this explains so much!
Ah, I'm feeling so nostalgic. And even though I've lived in America for, gosh, 19 years I still wonder how I will stay warm in my Halloween costume. You see, I have to remind myself that I no longer live in Toronto and snow is not coming to San Francisco. What was your favorite Halloween costume?
What's a Halloween without some candy corn? Well, a Canadian Halloween. I honestly do not remember seeing candy corn until we moved to the States. We so knew Reddi Wip though!

Cool post. Love vintage halloween.
That dessert looks sooo amazing!! I have never heard of the evil mistress. What is it??
For years and years I was always a gypsy - my sister would change every year, but I stuck with my gypsy costume - I have always had the travel/wandering bug and the life of a gitane is appealing!
Dollface: Doesn't it yum!
DesBisoux: Thanx honey! I'll try to not disappoint.
MrJeffrey: Thanx so much for stopping by...
Namine: Elvira was a cartoony character that dressed really sexy and was around every Halloween.
Your costumes sound fantastic!
