Adam Amato Photo Editor Junior Judith Friedman plays with the idea of being a "phone sex operator" or "phone actress" tor Halloween. Friedman said she likes the idea because she can be more taboo than normal. From brooms to baboons University students comb their own closets in search of the perfect fun costume By Athanasios Fkiaras Freelance Reporter Eugene will be taken over by the usual wave of werewolves, witches and the expected cacophony of cack les and howls on Oct. 31. "Double bubble, toil and trouble," as the say ing goes. University junior Judith Friedman is jumping off her broom and flying in a different direction with her cos tume idea this year; on Halloween, a phone-sex operator will be bom. "It's my secret and hidden desire," Friedman said. "This gives me an op portunity to do something that is a little more taboo than something I would do ordinarily." The transformation is not an easy one, but Friedman is prepared. She said she plans on wrapping a coil phone cord around her body. Stiletto heels and garters will also be includ ed in the package. Friedman said for her, "Everyday is Halloween," and she often dresses as if to celebrate. "Few people are fortunate enough to have access to a closet like mine," she added. Junior Ariana Schwartz, a friend of Friedman, is brewing up some cos tume ideas of her own. "Usually, I think about things to wear on 1 lalloween that I wouldn't wear on a daily basis," Schwartz said. 'Things that are usually repressed in me." Schwartz was a snake goddess last year. This year, she is thinking "kung fu fighter with high-heels." "I'm going to be seductive and threatening, so that I can show the world that it is possible to kick some one's ass in stiletto," Schwartz de clared. Like Friedman, Schwartz's "ass kicking" costume will come from odds and ends out of her own elabo rate everyday wardrobe. Senior Kate Regalbuto travel with Schwartz and Friedman on Friday, and she adds the third ingredient to the costume-crafting clan's plot. Regalbuto's discovered her "ba boon side" when she was taking An thropology 171 — Introduction to Monkeys and Apes — during her sophomore year. When the discus sion turned to primates, Regalbuto decided she had stumbled upon this year's costume. She plans on wearing all brown with pink underwear on the outside. "I always like to be something that makes people laugh," Regalbuto said. "I think that underwear on the out side of clothes is a guarantee." For those in need of supplies for "ordinary" costumes, Value Village Thrift Store, Goodwill Industries and Backstage Dancewear have plenty of options, Friedman said. However, if going the phone sex operator route, Friedman deemed Castle Megastore a most appropriate alternative. Athanasios Fkiaras is a freelance reporter for the Emerald.
