And so it begins...

It's the start of the holiday season. It sort of seems strange to mention "the holiday season" before Thanksgiving, I usually associate the holidays solely with Christmas. But Halloween is a holi--wait, I just looked up holiday in the dictionary and it's not, by definition a holiday as no businesses actually close on this day and no one has this day off from work. (of course, if that is the definition of holiday, then in the world of the arts, Columbus and President's Day are not holidays)

But, I digress.

Either way, I am happy that it is this time of season. I love fall. I like baking. I don't like the pudge that comes with it, but that's another issue.

I love the silly costumes that come with this month. I actually was hoping I could dress up this year for Halloween, but surprisingly, I'm working that day/evening. Well, I'll have a little free time at night, so maybe I can dress up as something generic.

I would like to mention what I wanted to dress up as this year...maybe I can put more thought in it next year and really pull it off.

Ok.

These may seem a little obscure, if you've never seen these specific movies. But they are the bomb-diggity if you have.

#1:

The Swedish Chef.

The best part about dressing up for Halloween, is not only do I like dressing up, but I enjoy pretending to be like the person I'm dressing up as. "Spurgyflurderschmorgendoggen....Bort Bort BORT!"

#2:

Baby Jane Hudson. From the movie, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.

This would be a great Halloween idea. It's a great movie with legendary actresses and it's a plus, because Baby Jane is a total nut case!

#3:

Fanny Bryce. From the movie, Funny Girl.

You don't have to be a big Streisand fan to appreciate the hilarity of the scene where she's dressed up and performing as a pregnant Ziegfeld Girl. It's classic.

I realize that in posting my ideas, there is a chance these ideas could be stolen. (shifty eyes...)

Well, if you want to do it! I would love you for it! It's good stuff.
