Never put your faith in a Prince.
When you require a miracle,
trust a witch.
Catherynne M. Valente, In The Night Garden
There are more than a couple of reasons why I don’t like Halloween. For one, black is not a color in my rainbow and, more importantly, I don’t believe in encouraging ugly people to dress up looking worse. I love Halloween for one thing only: I adore pretty costumes and faith in the goodness of all mankind–an occasion to forget “stranger danger” paranoia, gamely opening our front door, offering treats to whoever rings the bell even when they look scary or wear masks.
Rita Rudner, a favorite standup comic, sums up this dilemma best:
Halloween was confusing. All my life my parents told me, ‘Never take candy from strangers.’ And then they dressed me up and said, ‘Go beg for it.’ I didn’t know what to do! I’d knock on people’s doors and go, ‘Trick or treat’ and when they offered me candy, I said, ‘No, thank you.’
And while you’re at it, please keep all skeletons where they belong: buried deep underground, in biology labs for educational purposes only, or tucked away in the back of your proverbial closet. Trick or treat!

I’m back too Sharky!
I’m not a Halloween-er, at least not since the days as a young child when I’d wear a Superman cape and pretend I was the man of steel. Well maybe I am still a Super-man! 😉
Photo five is my favorite. Beauty and the legs of this Goddess can easily melt this man of steel!
Happy Halloween!
