another fun halloween parade at jefferson market.
one of the things that never ceases to amaze me is how much new yorkers get into halloween.
where i grew up, we got into it as kids, and then at some point around grade 8 we became 'too old' to trick or treat, and just spent the night either helping our parents hand out treats, or together in someone's basement watching a scary movie.
but not here. here it's almost more about the adults than the kids. well, in the city, anyway. one of my friends used to throw a 'black and orange' party where all the food was either black or orange. i remember using food colouring on the sour cream once. another friend used to host an annual party and the attendees went all out on the costumes.
and the creativity! at the parade, it's fun to see how people take things out of the news and current events, and turn them into costumes ... even when it's tasteless, it's interesting that someone thought of it.
the grand marshall was audrey II from the little shop of horrors.
hot costumes this year? (in my opinion)
- the madonna, britney, christina trio ... with britney and christina in the mtv 'like a virgin' wedding dresses and madonna walking between them in a black outfit and top hat.
- sigfried, roy, and the white tigers. there were several different versions of this, with some better than others. some had sigfried or roy with the other dressed up as a white tiger, and some had both carrying stuffed white tigers.
- the ambigously gay duo, ace and gary, from saturday night live - saturday tv fun house.
- the pack of ativan buy online chasing bat man up 6th avenue
- the speed boat with the waterskiing Ativan buy online - girls in tow
- bill clinton and monica (clearly still popular)
- the family dressed up as the wizard of oz crew (with one child as ativan buy online another as a flying monkey, and there was even a yellow brick road)
- the new twenty dollar bill
- the green M&M
- the metrocard man (there were actually 2 people who hoarded their metrocards all year to stick them together to make a suit)
i'm sure there were lots of bush/saddam combos out there, and of anxiety ativan social the popular cheerleaders, go go dancers, 50's poodle skirt girls, gypsies ... you name it, it was there.
