It was probably ...Nope, well, none that I know of. It was probably 1981 or 1982 and anyone there who had pictures is so far removed, I wouldn't even know who to ask if they had any. Sorry! I don't get into Halloween anymore but if I did, I would probably reprise the outfit... perfect for sitting out on a lawn or standing next to a pole and scaring kids who walk by!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315907439241992071.post-26617249771369051162011-10-31T09:53:14.616-05:002011-10-31T09:53:14.616-05:00Wow!

The hardest part was finding a pumpkin big enough for my noggin!<br />I was at USAFA that year so I went to the stables and got some straw. The BX provided the orange work gloves and duct tape. So here's how it went. I carved out the pumpkin from the bottom and had to check and recheck the fit for my head. The eyes, mouth, and nose came next. The last touch for the pumpkin was a straw hat, also from the BX. Actually, a straw basket.<br />Under the pumpkin, I wore a black ski mask to further hide who I was and to keep pumpkin out of my hair. It also provided some cushion against the inside part of the stem.<br />I wore a flannel shirt with long-johns under it. Those protected me against the straw. The rest of the costume consisted of ripped jeans (more long-johns), long socks, and combat boots. Once dressed, I created a tape-straw skirt for each leg to protrude out of my jeans and at the tops of the boots. I used blousing rings for the jeans so there was a neat line at the tops of the boots. I also created tape-straw skirts for each wrist and then buttoned the sleeves. You see the need for long-johns? More straw sticking out of the button areas of the shirt chest/belly, orange gloves on, and off I went. Arriving at the party, I put the ski mask on, then the pumpkin, and did an Oz-like scarecrow walk into the party. Great fun, no-one had ANY clue who it was under the pumpkin!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
