lol that's so cool! i dressed up as a hippie one year. i dug through my moms old clothes and jewlery from the 70's and found the BEST stuff. she had this huge clunky platforms (my dad had the ones with the fish in them...yeah. he had those god awful ugly things lol AND a powder baby blue ruffle tux THAT HE WORE FOR HIS WEDDING!!!!) these enormous bell bottoms (the bell part was the enormous part lol) this wacky tye dyed shirt, a cute brown belt (i kept that) and some "groovy" accessories. oh AND headbands galore. lol my mom was a true flower child. lol.
For the Halloween Costume Contest at my College, I believe I'm going to dress up like an 80's Rocker. Maybe a Metal or Punk Rock look. I'm not 100% sure yet.
I don't have children, as for me, I won't be dressing up, really have no place to go, but, I sure enjoy seeing other folk's nice costumes.
