1 week agoMe as Dracula, Halloween circa 1979
The bats had left the bell-tower. The victims had been bled.
1 week agoHappy Halloween, from the least scary witch ever.
And with that, good night. It’s past my bedtime.
1 week agoSo much good stuff in this one. The white turtleneck underneath my witch costume. The fake tree in the background. It looks like an old person’s house. That’s cause we were at my grandparents’.
1 week agoMe, age 3, as a witch. My mother is a robot. My dad made her costume by cutting images of what passed for high technology in 1978 out of magazines and gluing them to a spray-painted cardboard box. He’s geeky like a fox, my dad.
1 week agoFirst grade, frog costume. I have no idea who the friend in the devil horns is. My mother dyed the hat, tights, and a pair of gloves with non-colorfast dye that bled onto my skin and I was green for several days after. Still one of my favorite costumes.
1 week agowe’re looking in my baby album of a gazillion years ago.
there are so many pictures of me screaming.
mom says:yeah, you were like a piglet. always hungry, always screaming for food.
I love how on the left picture she looks like she is wondering what she got herself into.
