Childhood

What is the first costume you remember wearing?
Classic hobo - old clothes, a stick and a handerchief. I remember the smell of the burnt cork my mom smeared on my face.

What was your favorite costume?
Jack-0-Lantern. We used a big embroidery hoop, hung by string from my shoulders. It was covered with orange material, black material was sewn on to make the face and a little green hat for my stem head.

Best Halloween memory as a kid?
First trick-or-treating when my friends and I were old enough to go out by ourselves. We ran from house to house, tripping on our costumes; just your normal acting crazy kids stuff. Saying things that we found completely hilarious, laughing so hard we almost peed out pants.

As an Adult

Did you decorate your house?
a little bit, not very much

don't have a myspace

Do you still dress up for Halloween?
Usually no, but last year I did dress up for work. It was a new job and my boss was in charge of the Halloween lunch/party. We had a pumpkin carving contest, each division submitted one. I work for the Dept. of Information Technology (DIT). I went as a clown with full clown make-up, 4 or 5 little pony tails all over my head, suspenders, pink pants and a bright green tee-shirt which I wrote my clown name on - DITzy. I won best costume and a $5 gift card for a local coffee place.

Don't think I'll have one. Pending lay-offs at work has made for a much different atmosphere. I'm not sure if we'll have a party.

Planing on attending any parties?
no

What will you be this year?
me, just like every other day of the year.

Favorite costume someone else wore?
the head of our department went in full Micky Mouse costume last year. Seeing this slightly rolly polly man, who is responsible for all the IT needs of the city from Police and Fire to taxes and recreation programs, dressed up as Micky made me laugh and tickled me for several days afterward.

Funniest Halloween moment?
another manager wearing a short skirt, wigs and heels with a "Miss Oakland" sash across his very muscular chest. Walking down a hall way and he just went down and then popped up as fast as he could. "Nobody saw that, right?" Walking in heels ain't easy.
