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? 🐾🐾🎃
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...
Hey Molly, what year did you graduate?? I'm about 3 years older than Andrew... and kinda a 'nostalgic' candy guy, so are a few of my favorites, and the trivia behind them...
First-up, Bazooka Bubble gum, something to chew while you read the inside comics when unwrapped, which at the age 4 was really cool and amusing. A tradition that continues today, yet the comics are quite as entertaining....
Next-up, Tootsie Pops, but not for the filled inside because I thought Tootsie Rolls tasted like chocolate wax, yet the candy coating was suckable. In my early child days, after you unwrap the Pop, the 2"x 2" waxed paper has various images, Nurses, Plummers, Carpenters, etc... Yet, if your wrapper had the rare 'American Indian Chief you get a Free Pop... what kid doesn't like free candy??
Third, the classic, Cracker Jack with a mystery prize?!!! Bummer it never became a Halloween treat in a small box & prize. I thought it was perfect for Halloween handout...
#4, NECCO Wafers... the classic flavored chalk and weird flavors. I still indulge for old times sake... they tasted then and now like my age, 65....
Last, Whoppers Malted Milk Balls... yet the trick was freezing them, then you bite lightly through just the chocolate shell so it cracks-off, then one gets to suck-on a cold 'malt' ball, that slowly dissolves on your tongue, simply heaven...
Btw: Do you or other who work with Andrew ever call him Andy???
No.. we do not call Andrew "Andy." But everyone calls him AZ. Funny story: one time, my coworker had to take Andrew's mom Caran to the bank. The teller referred to Andrew as "Andy" and Caran launched into a 10 minute lecture about how his name isn't Andy.
Great anecdote, NOT surprised whatsoever, yet gotta luv stories like that... I bet Molly, you and his crew have plenty of wonderful anecdotes like that?? If so, add another segment... AMA, GFY now AZA, AZ's Anecdotes, comprised of Andrew's funniest moments, staff stories and whatever humorous incidents... just virtuel spitballing... stay well & take care Molly... Btw: Class of – brace yourself – 1980, double major in Business Admin & Economics double minor Marketing & Fine Art...
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!

Happy Halloween you goofballs!
Yes, the pre-cell phone life was KEY for regrettable Halloween (and life) decisions.
This show was hysterical! I wish I could hang out with you guys!
Such a great costume.
Loved the Richard Simmons costume!

Hi! Class of 2005. Journalism major.
