BAD/GOOD COSTUME

Rita: Okay Lolita, what is your question? Lolita: I want to find out who’s thinking about their Halloween costume. So I’ll ask, are you going to dress up to look like me—Lolita Flange? Rita: No, you can’t ask that. Lolita: But it’s my turn to make up the question. But you’re right, if everyone got dressed up like me, there would be too much sex going on during the night. Okay, I’ll ask people to tell us about their favorite or least favorite costume. Rita: That’s more on the right track.  ERIC WELSH (Chillhouse Studios): My least favorite costume is when a guy dresses up like a girl or a girl dresses up like a guy... I don’t find anything funny about this and it is very scary. *** SCOTT MARUCCI  (The Autumn Hollow Band): People wearing cereal boxes all over themselves.  It’s been done—be a little bit more original. *** SHEA ROSE (Shea Rose): My least favorite Halloween costume is Catwoman mainly because of Halle Berry’s “interesting” performance… and well I’ll admit, I’ve worn it three years in a row (boring)—it’s so easy–too easy—played out in fact. Black sock. Wire hanger. Four-dollar cat ears.  Black eyeliner—ninety cents at CVS if you’re planning on it. Viola! Catwoman in under $10.00.  It’s time to step it up though, and no, not into cowgirl boots and a cowboy hat. Wayyyy over done.  Now dressing up and impersonating the real Eartha Kitt… that’s fabulous! She rocks! *** MARK BRYANT (Lonesome Jukebox/ Plimro Records): My favorite costume of all time was when I went to a private party dressed as Alex from A Clockwork Orange complete with fake eyelash and athletic cup! While I was at the party a woman said, “I like your outfit.” I said, “Thanks, do you know what I am?” She looks at my crotch, complete with athletic supporter and answered, “I’d say a medium.” My least favorite costume is anything relating a female to a male. I think it should be a law that all women must be cats for Halloween! Lolita: Looks like we should introduce Mark to Shea. Rita: That’s funny—touché! Lolita: I don’t get it. *** BRIAN RUSNICA (the New Dumb): My favorite costume was definitely my poor imitation of Mike Myers’ Middle-Aged Man from Saturday night live.  Anything that includes an excuse to be crass all night and wear a fake mustache is all right with me. *** KIER BYRNES (Three Day Threshold): I don’t believe you should dress up only one day a year.  That’s lame. If you feel like it, I say dress up and be different every day.  With that being said, last year I dressed up as an accountant for Halloween as a switch. Rita: Is that it for answers? Lolita: Well, everyone just kept staring at my costume, kinda speechless.  Rita: What was your costume? Lolita: Well, I hadn’t prepared anything, so I left the canvas blank.
