Edd’s MANtra: Playing Dress-Up
No; definitely no; and, uh, maybe.
I’m talking about dressing up for Halloween. Once we got too old to run around the neighborhood begging for candy, many of us transitioned into throwing Halloween parties – where grown folks can still wear masks and run up on people in the middle of the night.
I looked around online and was shocked at how intricate costumes have become. My fellow 80s babies remember our old costumes. If you wanted to be He-Man for Halloween, you went to the drug store for your “costume”:
– A plastic smock with He-Man and Skeletor fighting on the front. I never saw He-Man wear a smock on the show.
These new costumes are much better. My favorite of the ones I’ve found so far – animated 80s troublemaker Cobra Commander!
Problem is, the kids aren’t allowed to have scary costumes at the event we’re throwing. And while goofy Cobra Commander isn’t scary at all, dressing like a cartoon terrorist might be pushing it.
So I need some help from y’all. I want something fun, yet original. Here are a few ideas I had:
Any other ideas? I’ll gladly consider them. But if any of y’all suggest Chris Rock I’m gonna put on my old He-Man mask and hunt you down.
Your right… our evolution has come to this 🙁
I can’t belive the things children are watching.
You deserve a crown-shaped cookie 🙂
Every part of my latest buying experience was awesome! When I opened the dress there was a matching shawl included! I don’t remember reading about that being included so it was a fun surprise!
