Yes, its almost the best day of the year!

It's that time of year..... again.... Halloween!

I love Halloween, always have, always will. I'm not sure if it's the tradition, the preparation or just the fun in getting dressed up and being someone or something different.

The best parties, with the best stories always seem to be Halloween event, so many people like this day as much as I do.

This year, celebration night for the adults amongst us is Saturday, October 28th. In the small rural town that I live close to, the evening starts off with a 'Maskeraid Parade' winding its way through the streets. In other area towns, there are 'Haunted Walks', 'Ghost Stories' and all kinds of pumpkin events.

In a Ipsos-Reid survey just released, 50% of adult Canadians said they would put on a costume and go out this year. (the highest percentages from Ontario and Atlantic Canada - was there ever any doubt?)

So, if you are like some people I know, you are planning on going out, but haven't given any real consideration to a costume. So that you can't come up with the worn out old excuses 'I didn't know what to wear', we've scoured the resources and come up with some ideas for you.

Here we go:

My favorite, 'Chick Magnet' attach Barbie Dolls all over self

'French Kiss', wrap yourself in padding and aluminum foil, put a red beret on your head

'Cereal Killer', attach miniature cereal boxes with plastic knives in them all over your body

'Can-Can Dancer', wear a long, older style skirt, underneath attach cans, lift up your skirt when you are dancing so everyone can see your 'can-cans'

Another one of my favorites; 'Bubble Bath', dress in a pale colour c/with shower cap, attach blue, pink and white small balloons all over yourself, carry a back brush, rubber ducky, soap around your neck

'Pimp and his hoes', dress in a flashy outfit and carry as many garden hoes as possible

'Bag Lady', make an entire set of clothes from used bags

'Money Launderer', use a mesh laundry bag with holes cut in it for arms and legs, stuff it with play money and attach it to yourself with clothes pegs

'Web Server', dress like a waitress or waiter, carry a serving tray with spider webs draped over it
