The picking of Halloween costume is serious business.
There are pros and cons and temperature to consider.
Not to mention the need to make said decision with a clear head.
Unless you have the gift.
Simone conceived and executed her Jill costume at 9pm on Halloween.
She’s got the gift.
(It’s the new look.)
Dying your hair red to be a character from a Comedy Central cartoon or sewing a light into your hat to be Inspector Gadget takes preparation.
Sadly, his costume neglected to include helicopter blades.
It was a disappointment to us all.
Anna, well Anna went as sexy Abraham Lincoln.
I’m not sure when in the evening the rainbow sash was added.
But looking back, I’m saddened we didn’t all go as our favorite president.
I would have rocked it as sexy Taft.
Lindsey, Skye and I decided to be zombie rollergirls.
It turns out I don’t have a great conception of zombie make-up.
However I nailed overdosed-on-arsenic rollergirl.
Surely there’s a market for that costume.
Skye was Calamity Maim.
Lindsey was Nancy Drewblood.
And I was Agony Christie.
Though considering how many photos I have of me sleeping on the couch, clearly my real costume was life of the party.
Our team was National Maul
And our motto was “we don’t go down without a bite,”

That’s Miss Zombie Rollergirl To You

That first picture of the booze? That pretty much explains it all. Looks like FUN!
Of course, that’s the definition of Halloween – fun!
(That is, after you sadly grow to old for the original definition – candy.)
I fear that something has taken the place of candy for you all.
The zombie rollergirls looked like they were having a great time! I think that is hard for zombies to do, in general, so you guys were way ahead of the game. What game? I don’t know.
I confess that I really like the idea of the sexy presidents. It makes me laugh.
Oh yes – we go door to door trying to satisfy our cravings for alcohol. Well, everyone except me, as I was driving home.
Oh.MAH….the inspector gadget is the shizz! It’s all about having too much fun while looking ridiculous!
Isn’t it brilliant?
My respect for that boy increased tenfold on Halloween.
I’ve always admired people who can come up with clever Halloween costumes. I think I’m missing that gene.
Me too! Zombie rollgergirls was Lindsey and Skye’s idea – I was just suckered in. And on my own I could never have conceived of the brilliance that is sexy Lincoln.
Where are your skates, yo?
I love the costume!
Ah, if I had even the teeniest bit more of coordination I might have risked that.
But then it would have prevented me from as easily sleeping on the couch. And that I cannot allow.
I think zombie make up is subjective. Who is to say what your particular roller girl died of? It could have been arsenic poisoning.
Oh Mindee, you’re so wise – why didn’t I think of that?
(The obvious reply, my lack of wise, needs not be stated.)
(Yeah, lack of wise, I went there.)
It looks like you got zombies mixed up with Twilight vampires.
National Maul – Love it!
Frick!
See, I knew that guy sneaking into my room at night to watch me sleep would someday effect my thought process.
I just didn’t think that day would come so soon.
National Maul? Awesome.
Also Inspector Gadget.
I’d give y’all candy. Why does that sound creepy?
Yeah, you would give us candy.
(Now that sounds creepy.)
Ha. We don’t go down without a bite. Love it.
Oh you make me feel even more aged reading about your life – but I so love to read about it! I love that Inspector Gadget hat and National Maul is wonderful!
I’m trying to figure out my comments.
And you’re my guinea pig.
Sorry.
Did you see that rollergirl movie Drew Barrymore did that Ellen Paige was in?
love the outfits!! and the funny last pic
Happy to be your blog comment guinea pig – they’re cute little critters.
FYI – when I tried to reply to that e-mail I was shunned. Probably you already know that as your blog savvy far surpasses mine, but just in case . . .
Also? I have never ever seen a restroom attendant in the Smithsonian. I believe that commenter is either delusional or has much cooler friends than you or I.
National Maul!
So AWESOME!
I would be on that roller derby team.
I can skate! And I’m pale and bluish under the eyes a lot of the time.
Mmm, brains?
Your Halloween seems a whole lot tamer than your regular nights out. Just sayin.
Looks like you guys had a blast. Love me some Halloween. Glad to read from Liz above that you celebrate regularly.
I loved our zombie rollergirls costumes. But they make me wish we were a real rollergirl team! We did have the awesomest name!
It’s not fun until someone passes out with their ass in the ayer, ayer. Love it. Apparently I’m too old for those shenanigans as my husband constantly has to remind me. Love the costumes though you know I’m going to have to deduct a few points for not wearing skates (though my right knee is still 2x the size of normal a week later and I took no clear shots). Loving Abraham Lincoln’s sash – awesome. What a fun party.
P.S. Are you wearing the bacon panties?
Hahaha- megan, are you having crazy adventures and dancing in corners without me?
Next year, I predict you’ll step up your game to the global level. Think: It’s a Maul World After All.
