ENTRIES FOR THE 2020 HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST
Macie is a rescued five-year-old Maine Coon mix dressed as a Cat Call this year. She has a cattitude about it as she just wanted to play with the colorful pipe cleaners! I made her costume using soft pipe cleaners, recycled file folder, and markers.
This is a picture of Jax. He was a rescue from a shelter in NM. He is 2 ½ years old and is a bully/Jack mix.

James and the Giant Peach costume
The last time I dressed up for Halloween was when I was around 10 years old (I remember it was my fourth year dressed as a rabbit.) I'm back home in Colorado this fall semester taking college classes remotely, so with space to work with (NYU dorms are tiny) and a lot of acrylic paint, I decided to destress in the middle of midterm week by making a costume based on one of my favorite childhood books: James and the Giant Peach. I bought a 4-feet tall inflatable bumper ball from Amazon, filled it with air, and covered it in a layer of plastic wrap, a layer of paper towels, and then a layer of painter's tape (I didn't want to get any paint on the ball!) Then, I started painting. It seemed a lot easier when I was daydreaming about the process in my head. The "peach" looked like a golden delicious apple with a bad rash and a brown streak down the middle. Fortunately, it has evolved. Then, I cut out and painted two leaves and taped it onto the peach. Lastly, I took one of my dad's ties, tied it around a bird wall decoration, taped it onto the blinds, jumped into the peach, and my sister snapped a photo. 
I’m dressed as one of today’s popular treats - avocado and toast! I made that toast fresh this morning and ate it as a mid day snack when I got hungry.
