October may be shaping up to be epic. Five Fridays. FIVE. Five opportunities to sigh dramatically at the end of the workweek and declare, I have survived another one. And five Saturdays! Five glorious little permission slips to sleep, rest, party, wander, do absolutely nothing, or do everything […]
Have you ever liked a villain more than the hero? Who and why? I have a confession. I often like the villains more than the heroes. Not all villains. Some are just terrible people with excellent lighting. The truly sadistic, one-dimensional villains who enjoy torturing puppies and explaining […]
Halloween finally arrived. The day of glorious weirdness I’ve been waiting for all month. And naturally, I woke up at 4:14 a.m. because my body apparently wanted to pregame the day with exhaustion. Who needs sleep when there’s candy corn to contemplate and costumes to coordinate? By the […]
Halloween is almost here. ‘Tis the season where adults get to be children again, sugar is a food group, and black lipstick becomes a perfectly acceptable daytime choice. This year, I have not one, but two Halloween outfits. Because why limit myself to one alter ego when I […]
Some people celebrate October 1st as the beginning of the fourth quarter. Others mark it as pumpkin spice season. Me? I declare it the official beginning of the Month of Halloween. Yes, a whole month. Don’t argue with me. You can keep your one-day Halloween party and your […]
Ah, Halloween—a holiday where quirkiness is currency, and you’re encouraged to be both bold and bizarre. So, naturally, I suited up for work today as a “good witch,” complete with a purple costume and a grin as wide as a jack-o’-lantern’s. If you haven’t done a Zoom call […]
Halloween. The one night where you can be anything or anyone—and have an absolutely legit reason to dig through the attic, the closet, and perhaps even the cobwebbed depths of your imagination. No, I’m not talking about a midnight snacking mission for last year’s stale candy corn. I […]
Ah, Halloween – that yearly “spectacle” where creativity takes center stage, and candy reigns supreme. As the night draws near, the air buzzes with the excitement of finding the ultimate costume, decking the halls with spookiness, and relishing the sweet treats that fill our pumpkin-shaped pails. It’s a […]
I love Halloween. Or I used to. Now I like, like Halloween. As a kid, Halloween was a bit creepy with those plastic masks. Do you remember these? Boy, we were big on full on non-breathable masks back then. While creepy, they were still fun. In New York, […]
I love, love, and love Halloween. I still get a new costume each year. Last year, I was the Queen of Hearts. This year I’m going to be Beatrix Kiddo, AKA the Bride in Kill Bill. You know that Tarantino movie with Uma Thurman. She wakes up from […]
