I was talking to someone tonight who was trying to think up a costume for her 6 year old son...because the costume she made for him...fell apart. I was trying to think of all the past costumes my son wore, or things I had worn as a kid.
I remember there being so many cool costumes from TV shows....and then you think about now...and what could a kid be. When I was younger...for a girl ..you could be:
The Bionic Woman Wonder Woman Isis Batgirl I Dream of Jeanie-Genie Cher A Mermaid
Boys: Mork The Fonz Lenny and Squiggy The Incredible Hulk Grizzly Adams The Six Million Dollar Man The Dukes of Hazzard CHiPS A Sleestack King Kong A Ghostbuster E.T. A Gremlin A Caveman
There were so many choices...
I remember 2 of my mom's friends dressing up like The Fonz and Pinkie Tuscadaro.
I remember other people dressed as Donny and Marie, and Sonny and Cher.
Who could any kid dress up from today...except all the same things we did that are timeless...
like:
The Flintstones The Jetsons All the Disney Characters Scooby Doo
But we even had other carctoon costumes, that kids don't have today...like
Mighty Mouse Hong Kong Phooney Yogi Bear The Pink Panther Josie and the Pussycats...
Plus..when we were kid..you could throw a sheet over you an be a ghost and I never see anyone do that any more...do you guys?

My son went as 'the ghost of Babe Ruth' 2 years ago.
A pinstripe sheet over his head (with the eyes cut out and black see through material sitched in), a number three on the back, a Yankee cap on his head and cleats.
