Halloween
I dressed in my loon-monster costume and sat on the porch to scare children. alexseanchai was adult Sabrina Raincomprix and handed out candy until about 8. Belovedest wore their plush dragon tail to work and band practice.
We had approximately 82 kids, give or take on the biggest crowd.
It started around 6 and wrapped up by 9, because school night.
We had some teenagers, most costumed (there were about 3-ish kids maybe around 13 who weren't obviously something). There were some parents/adult-looking escorts who I encouraged to take some for themselves.
My loon-monster was a success. I took a page from Darkside's book and pretended to be a dummy until they approached, at which point I started moving my head like a servo was involved. If a smol got too spooked, I pulled aside the veil and showed that I was real and said Happy Halloween.
Since St. Mark's Day was Belovedest's day off (Friday before first Sunday of the month) we did an epic markdowns crawl and got:
1 realistic plastic carveable pumpkin, which we're just going to leave intact
1 teal carveable pumpkin, same, and I explained that a house displaying a teal pumpkin was for when you have non-food trinkets so kids who are allergic to everything can participate
1 large PUNKin, black with spikes
8 tiny PUNKin, assorted
1 "raven skeleton" which has BONES AS A TAIL; I need to share this with The Hidden Almanac because George is an Excellent Crow
1 light-up butterfly mask
I have an excellent 3-person costume idea, assembled from memes.
1) Hawkmoth, from Miraculous Ladybug. Mask, cane, flamboyant suit, butterfly brooch.
2) Moth. Feathered antennae, winged cape. Ideally a cabbage butterfly kind of look.
3) Sexy lamp. Fishnet stockings, black leotard or little red dress, lampshade, battery pack lights therein. Possibly a Post-It note with exposition, depending what party you're going to.
4) Enacting Distracted Boyfriend meme. Hawkmoth rages. Moth is all over lamp. Lamp is stoic, unmoved (lamp).
