As I was looking through some old pictures, I came across this little gem. Halloween circa about 1978 or 1979. When costumes were homemade. And creative.
Presenting: Kim the Alien.
I remember this costume and I remember my mom telling me numerous times to sit still while she tugged and pulled on my hair and twisted it into tin foil.
And, now I'm wondering if my mom was doing this to me while she had a gin and tonic in her hands.
And giggling hysterically that I fell for this and allowed her to do this to me.
And then taking me to the school carnival dressed like this (because that was when people weren't so politically correct and you could still dress up for the school carnival.)
Oh well. I think that I won the costume competition that year. If I didn't, I was robbed!
Thanks, mom.
And thanks for capturing this on film so you can forever remember what you conned me into doing.
Happy Halloween! And don't forget to take pictures of your kiddies this year.
It is perfect future blackmail material.

If you would have known us then, mom would have asked you to hold her gin and tonic while she pulled my hair into those ridiculously awesome alien pointy thingeys. And you would have did it. ;)
I just wish that I had a daughter to do this to.
