…I tracked down and scanned a photo of my favorite-ever Halloween costume I mentioned in the previous entry:

This was taken at my old elementary school during the student costume parade (do they even do that anymore?) in October 1979. I was in fifth grade, 10 years old, and this would be the last year I went trick-or-treating… the last full-blown costume I wore until I became an adult and started going to costume parties and rediscovered the joy of dressing up and role-playing. It was the best costume ever.

I also posted up some more fun vintage stuff tonight at my Flickr photostream. If you’re curious…
