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

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.
