Decisions, decisions

It's a personal decision every girl must make - what to be for Halloween. I take this decision very seriously because, as someone who loooves dressing up, I'm not going to waste the one day a year when it's accepted and expected. A lot of thought goes into this.

This year I wanted to do something kind of girly since I've worn a bald cap two of the last three years. I pondered and pondered. Some of the ideas I came up with:

Cruella

She would be fun because of the crazy hair and make-up, and I could be nasty to everyone all day. But I just didn't feel I had the jutting cheek and hip bones to pull it off. Maybe another year.

Tammy Faye

This would be fun because I wouldn't have to worry about looking too perfect. In fact, with Tammy, I feel that the messier you look the better the costume is. But I wasn't feeling it. Would I have to cry all day? And I think this works better as a couples' costume. You know, with a Jim J Bullock. Again, I'll put this one on the shelf for now.

Daria

I love this idea, especially with my new hair cut and glasses. However, the one problem I kept running into was that unless everyone who saw me was an MTV viewer in the late 1990s, I'd have to keep explaining who I am. And that is not how Halloween costumes are supposed to work. Le sigh. I'll have to be a disenchanted, cynical teenager another year.

Which brings me to what I finally decided on. If I do say so myself, it's a great idea. I highly doubt I'll run into anyone else in this costume. Plus, it's super girly. Unfortunately, I don't reveal until the actual day, so the only other hint I'm willing to give is that it's more Tammy Faye than Cruella {in that she was a real person}. Since Halloween falls on a Saturday, I'll be wearing it to work on Friday, and I promise to post pictures. Any guesses? I might even send a prize to you if you figure it out.

And what about you, readers? What are your fabulous costume ideas? Need any help?
