"... I knew what costumes were. I loved costumes. They wore costumes in the Wizard of Oz. Glenda the Good Witch - now that broad had a costume! I was a reasonable, rational child, mind you.

So true! I live in North Dakota and we always have snowsuits under our costumes or scarves on or sweaters over our costumes. I once even wore snow boots because it snowed the day before.

Ha! Yeah, I remember having to dress in warm costumes as a kid in NY, luckily no snowsuits were usually necessary. I haven't dressed up in a long time (sadly, it's so much fun), but being in FL now changes things: it's still in the 80's!
Ahh, I needed a snowsuit on Halloween this year. Duluth has some bitterly chilled winds off the lake! Did you go out?
I have a very unhappy picture of a four year-old me as a fat Cinderella b/c I had to wear three large sweatshirts under my Halloween costume! But it probably saved me from catching a cold - but don't tell my mother I said so :)
