Costumes!

There’s a down town fairy singing out “Proud Mary”
as she cruises Christopher Street,
And some Southern Queen is acting loud and mean
where the docks and the Badlands meet.

This Halloween is something to be sure
Especially to be here without you.

-Lou Reed

I’ve always enjoyed costumes. In recent years I’ve been a gargoyle, Seymour Krelboin of Little Shop Of Horrors (with Audrey Jr.), Harpo Marx, Groucho Marx, a werewolf, an Andorian from Star Trek, Uncle lecter.jpgFester, Lieutenant Columbo, and even Doctor Strangelove. There are also rumors, which I can neither confirm nor deny, that I’ve been seen in full makeup, fishnets, and black lacy lingerie.halloween4.jpg halloween2.jpg

Over the years there have been three important questions raised about my costume choices. The first is, What will I do next year? The second, usually asked by my wife, is, How old are you? And then there’s the most important question of all: Who will join me? Come on, people. It’s not much of a parade if it’s me out there alone.halloween1.jpg

Okay…everybody…

I put on some make-up,
Turn on the eight track
I’m pulling the wig down from the shelf.
Suddenly I’m Miss Punk Rock Star
Of stage and screen!
And I ain’t ever
I’m never turning back!

-Hedwig And The Angry Inch
