Halloween
The Great Halloween Tantrum
“I wanted a harem girl costume I saw at Sears but my parents refused to basically get me a slutty costume at 7 years old (which I was totally sure I could pull off, btw) so as a ‘compromise’ my mom bought me this t shirt and hat and I had a full-on tantrum on the front lawn that was so loud neighbors came out of their homes to check out the caterwauling child.”

The Auditor
“Found a childhood photo of mine… kind of explains the smartass label my parents gave me when I was younger.”

Lipstuck
“Assuming this was Halloween 1984ish, or at least I hope so based on my brothers choice of headgear, my mom swears she was putting lipstick on me. I question this theory, but it makes for a great photo.”

The Odd Couple
“Little did people know that Laura Ingalls Wilder had a pet unicorn. My sister and I are six years apart and total opposites, as it is clear from his photo taken on Halloween 1994 in my kindergarten class. When she wanted to be her favorite book character, I just wanted to be a unicorn. Our parents still have this framed and put on the wall of their house.”

Married With Children
“My mom and dad were going to a Halloween party and cross-dressed as Peg and Al Bundy from ‘Married with Children.’ My mom was Al and my dad was Peg. My dad was in his late eighties when this picture was taken. This is my favorite picture of all time.”

Beauty and the Beast
“I believe this was Halloween 1977, and in the era of creating hand made costumes. I know my dad slaughtered many wire coat hangers and reams of tin foil to make my fairy wings and crown. As far as my brother was concerned, my best guess is that he went as some uber creepy Planet of the Apes character.”
