Amy (left) dressed up as Enida with friend Jenna as Patsy from Ad Fab this year.

Bethany as a clown. “I think I was 6 or 7 in it? My dad couldn’t remember either. Btw, I hated this costume when I wore it, but my mom made it and absolutely loved it. Now I think it’s cute too!”

“Creepy” Carey at the first Zombie Dance Party in 2004.

Me (Stephanie, left) as a doctor with her sister Pam in a handmade Rainbow Brite costume sometime in the 80s. I was so excited that I was wearing a real doctor coat borrowed from my pediatrician. That Rainbow Brite costume got lots of mileage for many years. Please note the use of blue eyeshadow on all. Classy!

Lish was the last to turn in her photo, so I bugged her on IM about it.
