Trick or Treat?

In about a month, Halloween will be here. We know this because we went to Whole Foods yesterday and got bombarded with Halloween treats.

But while there's nothing we love more than gorging on "bite-size" Milky Ways ("bite-size" = healthy, right?) while dressed up in a fabulous costume, there are some things about Halloween that we really don't like.

Like the flimsy costume-in-a-bag shiny costumes, frat boys dressed up like what they think women look like, and worst of all - the horrible wigs that people wear.

If your costume hinges on hair, may we suggest you head over to Shears Hustle & Blow at Ricky's (124 Crosby Street)?

They are offering a Halloween hair-styling deal - starting at $35. They'll do whatever you want, but they suggest Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst-style), Avril Lavigne, and Amy Winehouse.

So, is everyone going to be dressed up as Amy Winehouse this year? We were thinking about going as Robin Hood...

Ah, well, I didn't think you'd be the Disney fox Robin Hood, but now that I write it, it's not a terrible idea;-) I meant--are you more Errol Flynn? Cary Elwes? Kevin Costner? So many cinematic Robin Hoods to choose from....

My bf and I are going as Woody Allen and Annie Hall. For him its no big deal, to me its big hat, wide khakis and a special homage to one of my favorite fashion icons!

Well now I am sad, I was going as Amy and my friend was going as Britney. Now I guess we have to find new train wrecks to go as.
