Favorite Time of the Year

Everyone has that time of the year where they feel warm and fuzzy inside. For some its Christmas and the exchanging of gifts, for some its Valentines Day when you can feel the love swirling around you. I thrive on Halloween. We get free candy, get to dress up in ridiculous costumes, and pay to get the crap scared out of us at haunted houses, all without any of our peers being able to judge us, because they are doing the same thing. Out of everything that comes with Halloween, dressing us is probably my favorite. Realistically, my favorite part is probably taking my little sister out trick or treating and getting free candy, but for the purposes of this blog, I'll be discussing costumes.
This year, in honor of this blog, I decided to dress as someone or something that has red hair. This task proved to be harder than I imagined, because even though redheads are rare, there seem to be many redheaded costumes. Some of my top choices were Fiona from Shrek, Pippi Longstocking, the Little Mermaid, a vampire (I just feel like redheads fit the vampire persona), Strawberry Shortcake, Daphne from Scooby Doo, Blossom the redheaded Powder Puff Girl, or the original Ginger from Gilligan's Island. These were just a few of the ideas that I found or thought of that I liked and thought would be easy to put together. Like I said before, for the small percentage of  the earth's population that redheads represent, they were a common theme in Halloween costumes. It was a close race, but in the end I decided on Kim Possible. I also seriously considered Ginger from Gilligan's Island, because its possible she was who started the term "ginger" and because I had already discussed it in previous blogs, Blossom from the Powder Puff Girls, because then I could convince two of my friends to go as Bubbles and Buttercup so we could all trick or treat together, but I had to choose Kim Possible because it was part of my childhood. It also worked out very well in the end because I was invited to trunk or treating with a youth group whose costume theme was Disney, and as Kim Possible I'll fit right in.
 If you check back later this week (after Halloween of course), you'll be able to see pictures and a description of my costume.
