The Vox Diaspora Question of the Week is:
When you were young, what was your favorite Halloween costume? Even better if you have pictures to share!
My absolute favorite costume from when I was a kid is one I can’t remember wearing – for good reason. I was just over 1 year old at the time. It was a tiger costume that a friend of the family made and gave to my parents after I was born.
Of course, the costume was so well-made that it got passed on to my brothers, who each wore it in turn. Then my parents boxed it up and put it away, only to pull it out in time to give to Dee and I for our kids to wear!
I’m not sure what we’re going to do with the costume now – probably box it up and pass it on to someone else in the family when they have a little one the same age…
As for costumes as I grew older – I can’t remember many of them, but think that a vampire was one of my standard go-to costumes. Mostly because it just required a vinyl cape & plastic fangs. The mask was optional, but made me feel cooler:
(Note Ben the Happy Transformer and David the Tiger as we prepare to go trick-or-treating together)
