What are you going to be for Halloween?  Man I hated that question.  I seem to never be able to come up with that killer app of a costume that will make the party.  The best costume I ever came up with was a checked leisure suit (with a cigarette burn hole in the armpit) purchased at a a second hand thrift store.  I never realized that after putting on my "costume" I became well.... an out of style guy in a leisure suit.  Not hard to find in the boonies of Pennsylvania.  But there are some people who can pull off a fabulous Halloween look no matter what their age.  Let's take a deep dive into the latest Halloween fashion and get some answers to their design secrets.

Even 2 year old Miss Maddie here has found the perfect 80's Flashdance look.  Let's ask her about her inspiration.

Marty:  Miss Maddie, your costume looks like the quintessential 80's look.  What's your inspiration for your costume?  

Miss Maddie:  Waaat?

Marty: How did you decide to do an 80's costume?

Miss Maddie:  Waaat?

Marty: I mean I like your costume, where did you get it?

Miss Maddie: Funny Fly

Marty: ?

Marty: OK, let's move on.

Was there something about the 80's that inspired you?  The culture?

Miss Maddie: Elphint

Marty: Elephants?  What in the world do elephants have to do with the 80's?

Miss Maddie: Funny flower

Marty: I see you're keeping your design secrets close to the vest.  

Miss Maddie: Ver tard.

Marty: Yes I see your very tired, time for a nap?  

Miss Maddie: Yep

Marty: (note to self, 2-year-olds do not make good interview subjects....)

Let's move on to another fabulous costume.

Baby Ike here is the perfect Charlie Brown.  I wonder how he knew he was a Charlie Brown?  Let's ask.

Marty: Mr. Ike, can you tell us how you knew you'd make a good Charlie Brown?

Ike: Fllprrpt

Marty: Ike, Charlie Brown, you like?

Ike: Aaaahhh!

Marty: I think I know where this is going....  

Let's try and find another interview subject.

 

Excuse me, Miss Lola, can you tell me how you decided to become a Hula girl for Halloween?

Marty: Lola, Hula?

Lola: (rolling over)

Marty: Lola, Hula girl?

Lola: (sitting, paw out, head tilted)

Marty: Well Lola, that was very informative, but not quite on topic.  Any more costume advice? 

Lola: (Sitting)

Marty: Oh Lola, what's that smell?  I think you need to go out!

Lola: (Wagging tail)

Well that pretty much tells the story of this year's Halloween fashion.  The 80's are in, so are cartoon characters and Hula is always a classic for the pooches.  As far as inspiration for my costume.  I guess I'm out of luck, time to dust off that leisure suit.
