Progression of Halloween costume ideas
For Halloween I don’t want to be a generic pirate or ghoul, I want to be a bit more meaningful.
I considered being a societal villain. Maybe a CEO with an actual parachute painted gold. But alas, my favorite parachute supplier didn’t have any.
A biking freak in the requisite spandex? A hipster or other pretentious person? Nah, both took too much work; and I really didn’t feel like shaving my legs.
Then my thoughts became obtuse; a dull suit or entirely blank white wardrobe symbolizing America’s lack of creativity. (a crude reflection of how uncreative I was feeling then)
The horrors continued as thoughts of an experimental or concept costume were entertained. Would I create a powerful costume while using only X elements of disguise?
No.
All my lofty ideas were either awful or unattainable. So I regressed.
I might be Cyrano de Bergerac with a 2 foot piece of ornamental grass as a feather; or a wizard whose staff carries a microwaved Beatles CD I found in the street this week.
Or I could just be a ghost; ironically.
