Reading a poll about TV, I just remembered having a dream last night about watching commercials for the CW's Thursday night. (Yes, it was that exciting.) Somehow, they wedged another show inbetween Smallville and Supernatural. I was annoyed by this as it meant having to watch Supernatural at 10, which wouldn't give me much time to write my Smallville review for Pink Raygun (since I'd almost certainly squander the hour between shows on nothing) before I would need to sleep.

I realize, now, that dream-me wanted to watch Supernatural. This is why I know it was a nightmare.

(I'm kidding. At least I know why I dreamt about Supernatural. If you go to this thread at TWoP, there's a bunch of "motivational" posters, and the Supernatural fangirls outnumber all the other fangirls combined, I swear. I've been flipping through the archive--holy JESUS there are 1000 pages (literally!)--for the past few days now.)

Hey, what all costumes did people see last night? I saw a shark at 34th street, Maleficent at 42nd street and rode all the way to 125th on the A with a Jedi. All were actually stellar costumes (especially the Jedi, but I'm biased; also, people who are Star Wars geeks are like mad prepared for Halloween 365 days of the year anyway).

ETA: WE HAVE HEAT ON IN THE APARTMENT. Of course, we have heat on a day when it's really not all that bad to do without, but I'll be happy to have it tomorrow, looks like.

Come to think of it, I did see quite a few bumblebee costumes all over the place this year? Wonder if there was something behind that.......

Ok as for what I saw, mostly it was skin. Seems the the most popular costume this year was some flavor of lots and lots of skin. Not that I was complaining mind you, just it was quite noticeable. Guy costumes, that didn't involve drag, mostly was the usual stuff. Anime/manga character of some popularity, vampires, Village People, etc.

Yeah, kids were hitting businesses around me too. More than anything residential. Maybe it's a Queens thing?

You're only just now seeing a lot of skin in costumes? I can assure you that for almost five years now I've seen nothing but in costume shops. Or, at least, I should say, in the average costume shop (not counting those seasonal behemoths that open to sell/rent just around the holiday). This is part and parcel of why it's so hard to find a costume as a girl. If you don't want to go as "Sexy [fill in the blank]" you have to make your own.

I saw, I shit you not, a "sexy miner"--complete with gold minidress and matching hard hat with lantern and gold go-go boots--when we got out of the theater. It's really quite irritating to women like me who enjoy the dress up and prefer not to have the accompanying slut-up.

I had actually seen that one. The fun part is trying to tell which costumes are the "joke" sexy ones. Because there actually are "Sexy mental patient" costumes.

I think Sexy Jesus or Sexy Abe Lincoln are my favorites.
