Halloween :D

[sweetpickles]

I was in my early twenties and working in an office. They wanted to have all the employees dress up for Halloween. I was very tall and rather shapely in my youth, and very much a 'Girly" girl. I decided to switch my appearance and fool them all, so decided to go as a big fat bum. I borrowed my brother in laws triple x pants and shirt with a belt, old size 13 work shoes and work gloves, used pillows to stuff inside to make myself appear very rotund. I disguised my face with stubble and hid my long hair under a baseball cap. I walked around slouched over and lowered my voice to make it more gravely. I fooled pretty much all the other employees for quite some time. Most fun time since I was a little kid playing dress up.

Well...we don't officially celebrate Halloween in Romania, but lately the young and very young people are wearing costumes in some private events during these days, maybe to feel included in international events, and just for fun, like it's a Carnival. We don't have official Carnivals either We don't celebrate Death. We just comemorate the dead ones from our relatives and friends, there are 4 main general events, one for each season, called Mosi (The Elders). Tomorrow, the first Saturday in November, we comemorate Mosii de Toamna (the Autumn Elders).

The only time I was wearing a costume impersonating somebody else was in school, it was Cinderella play. I was actually wearing 2 costumes, one very ugly, most of the time, and the other was The Dress My mother worked a lot on that dress, to make it look shining and exquisite. I will always remember the moment I entered on the theater scene wearing The Dress and a tiara and all the public groaning loudly "OWWWWW". Yeah, it was nice

Not having Halloween in my country - and even though I happened to know about it, & have something extra for the day, I never really dressed up, or something.
We do celebrate - A LOT - the Carnival, which is in the deep winter, usually sometime in February, & there we dress up!!!

Much fun!!
My best memories are going out with friends, all dressed up, and just having/making fun in the streets, with passers-by, strangers, etc as mostly everyone was into it!
(and it wasn't That long ago - though it, indeed, was 'the previous century'! LOL

I was dressed up with a very fine party-dress of when my mother was younger (a dress I still love to this day, had I known where it is I'd even wear it-for fun!!)
Now that would make the dress being of the 'party' fashions of the early/mid fifties or something.

Pink-magenta in color, but not very bright, with a very very fine see-through shawl around ... the neck/shoulders/etc
High heels & a tiny, shiny purse, I suppose And off we were!!!
Lovely times!
I'll call that friend or, her mother, one of these days, as even if our lives are not that close anymore, we still keep contact!

Lovely memories - thanks for giving the chance in bringing them up!

Would there occassionally be a few hundreds of Water Lilies, big crowds would be attracted! LOL
Just saying!

My most vivid memory was dressing up as the pop star Toyah for a Halloween party, my sister painted food colouring all through my hair and my face had flying birds painted on it with mascara lol, it looked really good at the start of the night. After a few hours of energetic dancing however the birds had run all over my face and I looked more like Susie from Susie and the banshees. Once I got home I had to wash my hair to remove the food colouring as I had work in the morning, I washed it five times as the food colouring wouldn't come out of the highlights in my hair, in the end I had to go to work with green streaks all through dark brown hair, who knew food colouring wouldn't wash out walked around like that for months until finally I could get it cut out without leaving myself completely bald

In Romania, Halloween is not so big.
In conclusion, I only used to go to themed parties or Carnival.
If I were to wear a Halloween costume I would choose something with Sally-style ribbons from Cosmar before Christmas ...

Not dressed up for Halloween, but dressed up a couple of times as Dumbledore for the Brownie holidays (yes every day). And with other staff as the other characters, the Brownies loved it! (Beard was very itchy!)

I think the most memorable Halloweens are from my childhood, at school we used to have Halloween night when we stayed the night there, teachers always had amazing and cool activities such as games, dances, costume contests, horror movie marathons, spooky stories etc. I will always remember and cherish those carefree days
