This the second of our costume capers for Halloween. Last week I dressed up as Alice Cooper with Mona as the bride of the shock rocker. (By the way, we found the rubber chicken for those who watched the previous vlog.)I came up with the Alice Cooper shtick when I saw a video of him on the Soupy Sales show as news programs did obits on the great comedian. I thought I could look a little like him and after Mona did the make-up I was shocked — it worked. And everyone at the costume party we went to guessed who I was immediately.

So this week we were just knocking around the house doing basically nothing so we could recharge our batteries for a manic Sunday (and by nothing I mean watching “Mad Men” and “Twin Peaks” and stuff). So after carving pumpkins (she did Paulie the pumpkin head and I did Frankenberry — after I had a couple of bowls of that kiddie cereal this morning and got an adult’s well-deserved stomach ache) I thought who else do people say I look like? Well, aside from John Lennon (when I wear glasses) and George Harrison (when I wear the contacts) I also get killer Charles Manson, which I hate because he’s such a loathsome creature, but after sitting through the trials of several murderers lately I went along with the gag. It’s bad taste, but what the heck — it’s Halloween. Happy Halloween!
