HAPPY ALL HALLOW'S DAY!!



While my nose is not that big, I think I make a cute devil.

I love Halloween. My all time favorite holiday. What other time can a grown adult play make believe. I know, there is Mardi Gras, but it doesn't have candy!! CANDY!!

My fave Halloween was pretty much a pride point in my favor. About four years ago, me and someone I use to be friends with, CK, hung out in the Quarter. He went as Fred Flintstone (no surprise to those who know him!) and I went as Death. I was so proud of my costume; I had the white face, the ankh, the black, well, everything. I was even more interested in see who would know who I was. Of course, CK was recognized, with at least one person on evey block screaming "HEY FRED!!" Though I was not acknowledged at all. Than we sat at Cafe Du Monde to people watch.

We sat on a bench across the cafe, sharing it with this biker guy. (It's big bench)We had a nice little discussion about recognistion. CK said just not many people would know who I was. I debated that the folks that would recognise me wouldn't yell it out. Back and forh we with, nver mentioning who I was. All of a sudden the bike guy just turns to us and goes, "your Death, right?" Happiness and a big azz grin ensued. Only took one person to make that the best Halloween ever...in recent memory.
