Halloween Costume Drama

It's October, and in my house, that means only one thing:  The Halloween Costume.  To my daughter, it doesn't matter that I have a new book coming out next week or anything, it's all just about the costume.  She looks at Halloween the way most kids look at Christmas.

So, now we begin the drama of deciding what she will be.  To most nine year old girls, they want to be their favorite character from Monster High or maybe this will be their last chance to be a Disney Princess.  My daughter?  She always has to push the limits of good taste and Mommy's creativity!

Last year, she decided to be a pirate.  As you can tell from the picture above, it wasn't a "pirate wench" that she had in mind.  No, she wanted to be a full blown mini me version of Captain Jack Sparrow.  The Hair and make-up took two hours!  Not to mention a week of watching all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies until she could copy his mannerisms perfectly.  Good grief kid!  Fixate much?

This year I was prepared for anything, but something should have told me I was in trouble when Alyssa kept watching The Hillywood Show's Gagaween video.  Sure enough, she comes running in and says that she wants to be "Yuyi".  So after a quick Google search, I discover that Yuyi is the name Lady Gaga gave her mermaid character.  All I could say was, "Seriously?"

It took her a while, but I finally convinced her that this would be a bad idea only because it would be impossible to move around.

Little did I know, things were only going to get worse.....She thought about Beetlejuice, then Edward Scissorhands, Deatheaters, and even Harry Potter, but so far the winner is......Skeleton Face (Zombie Girl) Lady Gaga.  Yep!  I get to learn how to do the full zombie make-up and tease her hair into some sort of cotton candy side pony tail. 

There's still a little bit of time before the big day, but I don't think things are going to get any easier.

Your daughter sounds like she will either be an actress or one heck of a writer. I love that she chooses costumes that appeal to her and not just some popular mass produced persona.
