Costumes
for Halloween
by Butch Coors
Making that crucial decision of what to do for Halloween can be arduous
and frustrating, as well as creative and fun, but worst o f all it can be ex
pensive. This year make an investment for Halloweenl Consider it a good
excuse to buy yourself something that otherwise might be hard to justify.
Develop a character, use makeup, accessories and, most importantly, imag
ination.
Probably one o f the most versatile and elegant choices is a kimono. Sleek
and flowing, feminine or masculine, a simple flow o f silk, embroidered or
silkscreened, owning a kimono may already be a secret dream. A kimono
can lead you into the world of Oriental mystique, as you select your mas
querade character. Be a Geisha, Shogun, Empress, Emperor, Madame But
terfly, Susie Wong, Bruce l.ee or Charlie Chan. The opportunities are myri
ad. f ombined with imaginative make up, elaborate hairdos or wtgs with
chopsticks, your character will begin to take shape. The exotic character
and the luxury o f silk will be sure to enhance your own sensuous and mys
terious qualities, leading to a night of enchantment.

After the party, your kimono moves into the holiday season as a hostess
gown, a formal evening coat, a dressing gown or a lounging robe. Between
wearings it graces your living quarters as a wall hanging.

1900s through the present, for men and women.
Other investment options for costume wear that can move easily into
your everyday life include (fo r women) wonderfully slinky bias cut ’30s
evening gowns (with feather boa, please), or drop waist, slim and elegant

early Jazz Era. Be a gangster’s “ m oll’’ in a '40s suit (which can do double

ilyn Monroe for Halloween, and go to the next cocktail party as yourself, in
