OMG…hysterical…Molly 👏👏 your costumes are fantastic! All great, had to be a blast being Courtney all night 🍸but, come on …Sookie!!! 🖤🦇🖤 This had me flashing back to a whole lot of Halloween regrets, all thankfully long before cell phones. 😬

Andrew I feel a remake of Katie Perry’s “I kissed a girl?” (Boy) in your Halloween montage for the win.

The big question though???? What are the pups costumes?? Surely Luca & Lil sis have something planned? 🐾🐾🎃

Happy Halloween you goofballs!

Well Andrew, unless you shave, your ohmage to Missy Robbins may not quite work. There's kinda a Catch-22, after you explain your ohmage, they may think Missy Robbins is a "Bearded Chef"???

Costume-wise, it's estimated $3.6B bucks on costumes. We're contemporaries, growing-up we made our costumes. My parent's, sister and I would brainstorm ideas based on everyone's wardrobe & accessories in the house, along with inks and paints...

BUY, never even a consideration!!! My mom was a successful artist and art feacher, her perspective was, making your own costume is an exercise in imagination & creativity. That's what adds the FUN dimension, to see how imaginative you vs your friends and classmates creativeness...

Candy-wise, absolute favorite, Brach's soft caramels with flavored filling, butter rum, french vanilla, chocolate + fruit flavors. Other favs, Werther's butterscotch bites, Nips, Bit-O-Honey, Baby Ruth, Heath, 3 Musketeers and Mars bars. Hard candy, Jolly Ranchers are kings, gummies didn't exist yet per-se... or perhaps those were Harbos??

Hey Molly, great pics, AND we're Madtown Alums, GO Badgers.!!! If we were ever to meet, we could a 2-person Jump-Around... I hope you & Andrew have a haunting BOO-dacious Halloween...

My best costume ever was a costume my Dad made for me when I was 7 years old in 1959. He was a creative genius at making things. He made a robot for me out of boxes covered with aluminum foil with flexible arms that I could stick my own arms into and move and he made a light bulb for a nose that lit up. You have to remember this was 1959 two years after Sputnik. Robots were still a somewhat new phenomenon. The onslaught of 1950’s sci-fi movies often depicted space robots that looked similar. When I walked in the costume you could not see my feet. It looked like that robot was gliding. I won an award in the local Halloween parade. It was the costume I most fondly remember. Dad is no longer with us, of course, but I cherish the memory!

Okay, Andrew ... fess up! Who was the "hot" guy from Vassar? Our class (you were '84, right?)? Could you at least share initials so that I can look it up? I'm so curious!!!

Great description of how "gender fluid" we were, and so ahead of our time. I don't know if you remember "Cabaret" in the Aula - or if you were at any point at the cast party. Who were those three people dancing under a tablecloth, what were their respective sexes, and why were they under a tablecloth? (I'll never tell!) Ahhhh, I miss that level of acceptance in the world, don't you? Chatted with Mitch recently on Facebook (as in Rebecca and Mitchell) ... I had to tell him how much I respected his individuality in those days, and how I envied it a bit.

Anyway, enough reminiscing about the old days ... Salve!
