I haven’t dressed up for Halloween since college, but technically I was an adult then. Usually I’d make up a costume to do trick-or-treating for canned goods with my sorority. We got to relive our childhoods a bit while supporting the local food bank. I know one year I went as a farmer, but I can’t remember what my other costumes were.
Another year, I went to a costume part and dressed as a vampire. I wore a long, slinky black dress, black heels, and a black cape lined with red. I wore my long hair down, kind of wild, and long fake nails that I painted black. And, of course, vampire fangs. Not the plastic, whole-mouth fangs, but the kind that only attach to your canines and almost look real. I was so hot.
Now I just live vicariously through my kids and steal their candy when they go to bed.
