I moved into a house with my best friend and 5 strangers in our last year in College. We all were so different but became the best of friends. For the Halloween party that year I came up with the idea of dressing up as Tetris. It sounds cheesy but it resembled the way our … Read more
This Mario and Luigi girl’s couple costume is from Halloween 2004. My roommate and I had acquired an old Nintendo and our favorite game to play (usually at 3am when we got home from a night out) was the original Super Mario Bros.

I was due in December 2010, and our friends have a Halloween party every year. When I was pregnant, I was all belly and I thought if I could somehow make my belly a basketball, I could make the rest of the basketball player costume from items around the house. I cut the belly out … Read more

Pinocchio’s and his friends Jiminy Cricket, Figaro, and Cleo.
