Today's Topic
I don't think I have any favorite costumes, because I really never liked Halloween or dressing up in costume! And God forbid, I should ever go to a Costume Party. Maybe it has something to do with being an actor, or maybe I am just an old
stick in the mud.
One year, back in the ‘80s, I got so fed up at being badgered by my co-workers, about not dressing up, that I got up very early on Halloween morning, took a bottle of liquid latex and a very vivid red lipstick, and created a very convincing copy of Freddy Krueger's face. I even had the right kind of hat, and the striped shirt. The only thing missing were the hands, but since I was going to be driving to work with the costume and then sitting and writing all day, I decided to skip the hands. Still, I was amused by the reactions people had to seeing Freddy driving on the freeway or working in their local Welfare Office.
Tonight, after work, I will drive home, feed the cats, and then head out of town to have dinner
out with some friends. That way I don’t have to pass out candy to the undeserving kiddies.
I am the one that wrote about the Mary Martin story yesterday. I didn’t say the story was true, all I did was repeat the story that I heard Mary tell.
