Here are my 'Lessons learned on halloween'
1) Check the weather forecast before going out. If it calls for 'gusty winds 20-30MPH', do NOT wear that cute above the knee light skirt!
1b) Any wind effect will be amplified on a narrow street between tall buildings. And, per murphy's law, the strongest gust of wind will come just as you are crossing at a crosswalk in front of a dozen waiting cars!
1c) It is really hard to hold down a fly-away skirt while holding a purse in one hand, and a cup of hot coffee in the other!
1d) EVERYBODY in Western Mass. now knows that I was wearing pink panties today.
Note: Trying to move faster makes things worse. More wind will catch under the skirt, you'll realize you DON'T really know how to run in heels and your D cup forms will try to hit you in the chin, all surely adding to the amusement of the drivers watching you.
2) After using the bathroom (no matter which one) make SURE your skirt is not tucked up into you tights when you leave the stall! (This happened to me last halloween. I walked around the store for 10 minutes before some kind woman clued me in)
3) No matter how closely I shave, and how good the makeup job, I can only go for about 4 hours before needing to take it all off to start over.
I'll contribute more tomorrow, I've got to get my beauty sleep now. How about filling in some of the lessons YOU learned?
