My daughter rather enjoys Halloween; she has a penchant for dressing up the walkway from the street to our front door with large spiderwebs adorned with large spiders, with skulls and bones scattered here and there, and strings of orange and purple lights.

 We also have a penchant for humiliating the dogs by dressing them up as well: 

The Lesser Weevil, the part Boxer and part-whatever-the-heck-but-it-must-have-been-BIG was adorned as a fairy. This actually was very suitable for the first part of the morning walkies, when she leaps into the air, again and again and again.

Spike the Shi-Tzu, on the other hand, does not mind being dressed in a ridiculous costume, because it makes people pay attention to her - which is meat, drink and oxygen to a small dog.

And of course - I dressed as a Wagnerian soprano.

And just for fun, a touch of Anna Russell.
