Halloween costume "meme" (ga*ked from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
girlwithjournal)
This probably wasn't officially a meme, but I think by being at least the third person in a chain of posters, that probably makes it one now.
Things I've been for Halloween (and now comes the great taxing of the memory):
I don't think I dressed up when I was 0 or 1. But I certainly did when I was two, and so starting with that year I was....
A green cat.
A red cow.
A clown.
A fairy princess.
A witch.
A mermaid.
... oh my god, I've forgotten the costumes of two whole years! ...
A winged centaur.
A minstrel.
A hippogryph.
... umm... two more years go by, in which I am __ and __ (but I would guess that one year I was a vampire, and the other I may conceivably have worn my fencing gear) ...
Athena.
A Venetian Carnivale-goer.
Keats' poetry.
Then I didn't really dress up when I was in Oxford, so that's four years without costumes. And for the last couple of years, since I've been in Berkeley, I've been a vampire (the first year in plainclothes, last year wearing my red skirt and corset, so a more fashionable and ancient sort of vampire). This year I'm wearing some old Ren-Faire clothes of mine, and last night, since I was just in normal clothing, I was straight. When my mom gets home from Arrowhead, or at least once she gets back in range on her cell-phone, I'll try phoning her and see if she can remember any other costumes.
ETA 2/17/05: I've finally remembered that in third grade (possibly 4th, but certainly one of the two missing years in there) I was Zelda. My friend Jasper Linke dressed up as Link.

Jolly Green Giant (this is even funnier considering that for this one, I was 3 or 4--my little brother was the Great Pumpkin that year).
mad scientist
mummy
I'm sure I wore my fencing gear once.
Some kind of vampire at least once, probably involving a tux.
Renaissance outfits (a purple and black one, as well as my green/black wedding outfit)
My senior year in high school I made a point of not wearing a costume for 31 Oct, and then for 1 Nov, wearing a weird composite thing involving a cape and my "letter" (earned from chess with ribbons from band, orchestra, and chorus on it), which happened to be a J. I spent the day pretending to be puzzled at why people kept commenting on what I was wearing. :)
Scots costume (great kilt, stockings, white shirt, sporran) that I got for my oldest sister's wedding
sort-of assassin
The Dread Pirate Roberts
I *really* want to see the "Keats' poetry" costume, or at least a description of it. Pictures? Pretty please? (My first thought was something involving an awful lot of customized press-on "tattoos", but somehow I doubt that was it. :> )

So far as I know, there aren't any pictures. But what I did was got a moderately cheap edition of Keats' poetry, cut out the pages, and pinned them to a black leotard (or some such).... Very minimalist, but very accurate. ;) His birthday is Halloween, you see.
