Each of my kids wants to be a different character from this Japanese manga show they currently watch, Inu Yasha. The 6 year old wants to be Inu Yasha, the 8 year old wants to be Sesshomaru, and my 12 year old daughter wants to be a wolf demon character whose name I can’t recall.
I’m not sure yet if we’ll manage this, because these are not costumes you can just run out and buy and we are getting short on time. I think we can cobble something together just fine, since it’s not like anyone will know what they’re supposed to be or notice details we get wrong!
My husband and I were invited to a costume party this year, and I think we know what we’re going to do. We’re going to dress up like a certain part of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” video. There’s a part where she and some guy have their faces painted like skulls and they’re wearing tuxedos, and that’s what we’re doing for the party. My husband immediately rejected my first few ideas: Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth, Han Solo and Princess Leia, Rhett Butler and Scarlett. Party pooper.
