Journal / halloween is coming up.

halloween is coming up.
do they celebrate halloween everywhere?
am i ignorant?
is it a u.s-only holiday like thanksgiving or presidents day?
halloween is, without question, the best day of the year in nyc. the weather’s usually just starting to get cold.
everyone dresses up(even bus drivers and subway station clerks and the guys making
sandwiches in the deli). and the halloween parade is invariably awesome.
for the last 10 years i’ve wanted to be corky st. claire for halloween. and for the last 10 years
i’ve failed in putting my corky st. claire costume together(mainly because it requires a goatee).
perhaps this year i’ll be able to get the yellow sweater vest and the bad toupee and the depressing
goatee and finally be able to be corky st. claire for halloween.
oh, when i was in l.a a few days ago i saw that trashy lingerie(for which you need a $1 membership
in order to enter. i got mine in 1992)had a very ambitious halloween window.
ambitious and scary. here’s their window.
only 3 weeks to halloween.
oh, you know what would be a REALLY scary halloween costume?
president palin.
you could have one hand on the button and the other hand leading your pet dinosaur down the street.
