Halloween is here! My favorite holiday!
True to the Halloween spirit, Rumi & Raja dressed up and went to the Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade. They looked so handsome and they were ready to save the world! Rumi was Superman, and Raja was Batman! I posted some pictures of my superheroes.
This year I am spending Halloween in Japan, and since I am unable to participate in all the grandiose preparations and celebrations in New York, I'll share with you some of my favorite memories. My assistant Lennox conducted a very formal interview, asking all the important questions, and here are the results!
Lennox: Why is Halloween your favorite holiday?
Eddie: There are so many reasons! Halloween is about being creative without boundaries or limitations. I love being totally free to express ourselves in an open forum, free of judgement and criticism. I also think dressing up as someone or something else allows us to jump into a fantasy world that is new and adventurous. I think Halloween brings out fun, unrealized qualities in people and friends, some of the greatest surprises come from friends we think we have known for years!
Lennox: What is the best part of the night, creating the costume, getting ready, going out, staying out, or taking it all off?
Eddie: The process of getting ready. Over the past 10 years my friends and I get together to get ready, and we spend hours laughing, painting faces, squeezing into costumes, dealing with costume malfunctions, and taking pictures of it all to capture the moment. Going out as a group together and getting reactions from strangers and friends is always a highlight! The hardest part of the night is taking it all off. Sometimes I want to live in that world forever!
Lennox: What is the first Halloween Costume you can remember:
Eddie: Dracula! My uncle did my make up, and my grandmother made my black and red satin cape. I was so proud of that costume. I think that's when I fell in love with Halloween. Getting ready with all of my cousins and going out together as a group was so much fun!!
Lennox: What is the best Halloween costume you've worn (you're favorite)?
Eddie: There have been so many, its too hard to pick one. Last year, Lennox and I dressed up as twins. I wore a convertible skirt! :) You have to see the pictures. The hair alone took us 4 days to make!
Lennox: What's the worst costume?
Eddie: Superman in Vegas. It was a fun costume, but definitely one of the worst... (Hey I had to work with what I had!)
Lennox: Are you scared of the dark?
Eddie: I used to be when I was little. Dark hallways and silent corridors have always freaked me out.
Lennox: What's your favorite scary Halloween movie?
Eddie: Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lennox:The Munsters or the Adams Family?
Eddie: Adams Family, but I want to be related to the Munsters too!
