Witch or Sexy Kitten?

Halloween is an interesting time...there's alot of pressure revolving around the type of costume you choose. One of my favorite scenes from the "Sex and the City" movie takes place at a Duane Reade when Miranda is looking for a Halloween costume for herself....

Miranda: "Witch and sexy kitten...the only two choices for women are witch or sexy kitten."
Carrie: "You just said a mouthful there sister."

It's true that for some reason, women are notoriously more unclothed on Halloween and I find that alot of men expect that. My favorite costume I've ever had (besides Butterbear when I was 2) was when we dressed up as the "Breakfast Club" and I played Molly Ringwald's character. I think I was a junior in college and let me tell you, the college boys were not impressed. Why were my legs covered? And what was with my wig? The next year was "Boogie Nights" which was deemed more accetable thanks to my Rollergirl attempt although...I had a mild concussion for two days after thanks to my fancy skates.

This year was different because there was an actual event occurring on the date of Halloween. More pressure.....and while I don't think my costume was the best (Todd & Margot kicked it out of the water), I do think I did Jessica Simpson justice. I must say, that long blonde wig was incredibly uncomfortable and while certain family members think my hair should always look like that...they can forget it. Get used to me as a redhead people because it's not changing. Anyway...I admit that I did fall into the Halloween stereotype of revealing clothing because what's a Jessica Simpson costume if it involves full coverage? This didn't seem to bother anyone until one guest on the party bus commented that the reason I was cold was because I wasn't wearing any pants. Have you seen Jessica Simpson lately? You're lucky I even wore a shirt!

Anyway, best Halloween ever, great party, awesome wedding. Way to get married Laura & Cody!
