Halloween

This should have been posted a while ago - oh well.

Now, as you're all aware, Halloween is a festival that barely registers in the UK. If you're very, very (un)lucky you might get a few trick or treaters, watched over by anxious parents who've allowed their little darlings out to roam..

In Canada, and I'm forced to assume the USA as well, there's a little bit more fuss.

We're not talking lots of children in costumes - costumes that might well cost more then the total GDP of some small african countries. And cute they do look - if you're into cute. If, like most sane adults you just wish they were standing closer together...well, close your eyes.

But why do you want them standing closer together?

Silence Alter - or its the wardrobe for you.

More interestingly, its not just the children who dress up. A fair number of adults do as well. Now, here's the thing. Men just don't dress up. What you end up with is a variety of adult women in dresses, costumes and other unusual things.

Which isn't that bad.

But why closer together!?

Alter, I've warned you...

Anyway, the costumes can be elaborate, complicated and highly effective.

Such as this pretty little fairy...



This wasn't the only fairy. You had fairy godmothers, princesses, mini-mouse, more fairies...even a killer serving at A&W...

Now, we all know fast food will kill you, but...

Anyway, that's Halloween in Canada.

But why closer?!?!?

Because, Alter, I've only got one hand grenade left. Now Get in your WARDROBE!
