I wore purple tights, a purple leotard and wrapped myself in yards of purple chiffon – I was “Purple Haze” of course!

It wasn’t from my childhood, but still my favorite costume — when I was in college, I had the chance to go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and splurged on the most gorgeous black feather mask (still inspires me, http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29004620 ) I wore it with a slinky evening gown and long black gloves. It was the most elegant outfit I’ve ever worn, and totally out of the norm for me. Loved it :}

My favorite childhood costume was Pippi Longstocking — oversized shoes, mismatched socks, a patchwork dress, and bright red braids! Pippi was always so unabashedly herself, so unashamedly outlandish, and I think that’s one of the hidden joys of Halloween.

Just had to chime in again as my husband reminded me of when we took our oldest out his first time. We were Deadheads then, as dressed (normally) as such. When asked what we were, our reply: ‘undesirable elements of society’.

No one, of course, could argue with that.

The touring company for CATS came through town when I was seven or so and my mom took me – I loved it! That Halloween, I went as one of the cats from the show – not any specific one, though. The costume involved the standard cat ears/nose/tail, plenty of makeup, and loads of costume jewelry to top it off. I absolutely adored it.

@Sarah – I was magnetic poetry a few years ago! A fuzzy black sweater and words on velcro… it was fun!

I’ve got a very sweet photograph of me from childhood … dressed as a masked princess. I look very capable with short hair and my Lone-Ranger-esque mask … wearing the pretty blue flower girl dress from a friend’s wedding — oh, and don’t forget the magic wand!

My other favorite costume is from right after college. I’ve always loved words and writing. So, I got some velcro and some poster board and made myself into a magnetic poetry board. FUN!

Talk about ADD–one year I couldn’t make up my mind so I went as a fairy princess/ballerina/clown.

Hot Mess.
