I'm still at the beach and have done some babysitting which involves watching Sesame Street - it's as cute as I remember and the theme song is burned in my head. I checked out SpiritHalloween.com just for fun and can you believe it - they have Sesame Street costumes for adults! How cool it that? You can pick your favorite Muppet - I can't decide between Oscar the Grouch or Big Bird but anyway they have all the Muppet character costumes and it seems like a fun Halloween costume idea, especially if you go with a bunch of friends and everyone hits the bar in Muppet mode! 

Okay so I've been kinda lax on the blog - well there's a reason, I've been on vacation at the beach. And of course when I'm at the beach one thing I do is read beach books, although the Twilight series I'm reading is anything but a beach read. Edward rules my beach, and vampires might rule my Halloween. Everywhere I look on the beach I see Edward and Bella and Jacob - I'm thinking a Twilight themed Halloween party might be the big idea for Halloween. It's almost a new moon, and time for a darkly romantic Halloween, don't you think? I can't wait for the New Moon movie to come out!

I totally hated history but an ancient costume can be kinda cool. Like the whole Roman warrior and gladiator costume kind of thing. The Spartan guys are pretty hot and I know I could be hot as a Grecian goddess or a Roman empress. The toga party is lame but a warrior or a queen, now that's for me! What a great excuse to wear my gladiator sandals in October! And lots of gold for a legendary costume. Maybe history isn't all so bad after all:)

My mom tells me there used to be a TV show called "Petticoat Junction" about three sisters in hillbilly country - it makes me laugh. But I think petticoats for grown-ups are cute. Little girls wear petticoats mostly at Easter and with party dresses, but now big girls like us get to wear them for Halloween. I think a Halloween petticoat could be more than cute, it could be hot! I checked out the petticoats at Spirit - they have an amazing Halloween stockings and lingerie section - and the petticoat selection is great. There's a black polka dot petticoat and a hot pink petticoat and I want both! The idea of flouncing around swishing my petticoats is sexy and fun.

Clowns creep me out, totally. I mean they are so scary, especially when they are supposed to be friendly and funny. Anyway, I saw something on Spirit that blew my mind - a face-ripping animated clown that is the creepiest. It looks like a regular clown with the red Bozo hair and a polka dot clown suit and a white face but then it rips off it's face and you see a horrible grinning skull - spooky! This is why I hate clowns - they are never what they seem to be. But I guess that makes a great Halloween prop to freak people out. So if a bunch of clowns piled into a hearse, would it still be called a clown car?
