A very simple one: Wear a big pocke****ch around your neck and carry and empty open purse or wallet. "If You've Got The Money, Honey, I've Got The Time." Rob wore a red sweatshirt and went as "The Red, Red Robin. Goes Bob Bob Bobbing Along". I wore a hooded robe like a monk and walked around saying only "evening" in various chant tones. "Some Monk Chanted Evening." "-) (OK, "Some Enchanted Evening" - Rossano Brassi, eh?) When Beck was 7-1/2 months pregnant, she wore a black sports bra and black tights -- and painted her enormous belly orange -- like a jack-o-lantern. I think her bellybutton was the nose. :-) It was a small party with only very good friends in attendance. The picture is hysterical!

A fellow mom dressed up as an egg with horns, tail, and pitchfork two years ago, is that what you mean?

And I am taking the wonderful receipt for Angel Food Cake that I done for years. It is filled with chocolate so that when it is cut in runs out in a river of yummy stuff. The top is frosted with cream cheese, powdered sugar and pecans with coconut shreds toasted. I also make a devils food cake with all the appropriate stuff in it, just what would have been expected. Now this is for a work thingy. You would love what we really have to eat at our Samhain festival. Hope this doesn't get to the wrong newsgroup again! Bee |
