Everyone seems to be in love with the Bride. I didn't think she'd get much response. Mary's getting some love, too. Thank you for the votes!

Yep! I'm a server at my local Pizza Hut. I've been there over a year now. Was off for three months due to quarantine restrictions, but it's been quite the experience so far. A lot has changed. Some days, I wanna quit when it's been rough all around (gonna get rough this week, too). But I persevere.

And yet he persevered. Keep it up Brad, I'm glad you found that job and that you are back to work. Stay healthy.

Costumes? I like them both, and especially like the Bride's wig, but I'm going to have to vote for Mary, she's my favorite.

Happy Halloween!

Brad you are amazing. Thanks for sharing the fun!! I can't decide. Both are awesome!

I vote for Mary!! I hear you about missing the theater...our theater is muddling through, with zoom rehearsals mostly and carefully chosen plays to maintain social distance....but the audiences have been very sparse by design.
Glad you are back to work....and don't be a stranger now, ya hear?

Mary of course. This is a cooking forum, and:

"--- Mary delights in tracking them down with her powerful sense of smell and suggest various ways of cooking them, from barbecue to "shish-ka-baby", ----"

There are hidden symbolisms in seemingly random events. Symbolisms are intended to be confusing, they can be good and can be bad, offering you choices to conduct your life.

I see good things in your life happening.

You are working in this difficult pandemic economic disaster, serving pizzas.

Halloween this year is unusual; there will be a full moon. The moon will be as round as a pizza.

Good luck, Moonwolf

Happy Halloween, Brad, and congratulations on the job!!!

I'm going with the Bride of Frankenstein all the way!!! Both great costumes, but that somehow does it for me.

There will be no usual candy / party stuff happening here for Halloween, and it's a shame considering that Oct 31 is on a Saturday this year. I just read in the newspaper that local schools are having drive-in type candy giveaways... specific times for specific age children, and they must stay in their cars. I don't quite get how that works. :p

I found out that the rings on her corset are for holding ingredients (dried herbs, dead rodents, you get the picture). Mary's what one would call a "kitchen witch" as she's always preparing foods or gathering ingredients for Winifred's potions. Her hairstyle is not supposed to be a witch's hat, but rather, it was inspired buy a curled pumpkin stem ;). I love all three sisters, but Winifred/Winnie (whom I went as a couple years ago if you recall) is my favorite. "Shish-ka-baby" is one of my favorite quotes of hers.

If you want to humble yourself, work as a server in a restaurant or work with the public. You're often treated like dirt, only rarely being shown compassion or praise. I think for work, since we can't do a full costume, I'll either don a wig or wear one of those witch hats on a headband (probably the witch hat-since a witch is always my go-to classic costume). Of course, Mary or the Bride's hairdos would get a laugh. I have two Hocus Pocus masks, so maybe I'll don Mary's signature 'do.

Halloween 2021 hopefully will be back to the way we used to know it.

Oh, and Mother Darling and I discovered a film that's become quite dear to us. Has anyone ever seen it?

I have a pin with this photo on it I bought off of Etsy. It says "S-T-A-U-N-C-H" on it ;). I think she would approve of my "best costumes of the day".

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Wow. Now I have to watch Hocus Pocus. Bride is an old favorite, but that dress? Wow.

Brad, every year I look forward to your traditional posting of your costume reveal! You don't disappoint! So happy you're working, and yeah, working with the public is so challenging, so often!

Voting for Bride mostly because I've never heard of Hocus Pocus or Mary. But really, both costumes are great.

Since you can't see them in the picture, here are the boots I wore for The Bride. Aren't they gorgeous? If I ever go as Stevie Nicks again (or a Snow Queen costume) I'll wear these. They're also available in black.

As much as I like the Bride costume, I like Mary even better.

The Edie photo reminds me of Jinx Monsoon on RuPaul's Drag Race:

Grey Gardens of course!! Watched it at least twice!! I vote for Big Edie for you next year!!

LOVE Drag Race and Jinkx's performance as Little Edie was so endearing and well done :) .

I will have to plan my "revolutionary costume", but here's a glimpse of what I may look like as Little Edie. Complete with vintage brooch found at a little local boutique.

This was back in August. The scarf is from my local Goodwill.

LindaC, did you know they turned Grey Gardens into a musical? The soundtrack is gorgeous!!!
