Oh Lordy.
Why do I do this? ย Why do I subject you to such things?
In kindergarten… way back in the mid eighties… I was a child bride for Halloween.
Actually… I was a child… and I dressed up as a bride. ย That makes things less creepy.
I don’t know whose idea this whole bride thing was, certainly not mine. ย I was probably just stoked about wearing lipstick and a head band.
Want more? ย Surely you must.
Little Bo Peep with her favorite stuffed animal and her princess sister.
Child bride with clown sister and toothpaste sister.
Toothpaste. ย It only makes sense that the tallest child be the toothpaste.
This is my Uncle Dan. ย He’s dressed up as a hunk.
That’s my veiled head in the right corner. I want candy.
I had a Cleopatra phase. ย I’m mostly stoked that I could get the pose right.
I blame my mother for the aggressive eyeshadow.
This is bad.
Smack dab in the middle of my frizzy haired hat phase I decided to be a playing card for Halloween. ย A playing card with a playing card hat. ย I’m sure I busted out the craft box and the glue gun to bring that little gem to life. ย Lord help me.
I’m not sure if the card is better or worse than being a teenage Juggalette.
I’m glad these were the only photos I could find. ย I distinctly remember an awkward Raggedy Anne phase as well.
Ps. ย If you know me in real life… this set of pictures IS NOT open for discussion or ridicule. ย Zip it.

All I can say that these are great costumes and I don’t know how your mom did all this with her working…….
Out of curiosity, how did you photograph your old photos? I’ve tried several times to a big glossy shiny mess! I’d appreciate any help! Thanks!
Here in Italy we don’t celebrate Halloween. Thanks for sharing a bit of a different life. (Not too different, really. I used to dress up as a bride even if without Halloween.)
These are fun.
Loved your costumes back then, and loved you showed them to your Peeps.
Love you Uncle Dan
Hahahaha!
I was Cleopatra a few times also! I had the thick blue eye shadow and everything!
“Iโm not sure if the card is better or worse than being a teenage Juggalette.”
