Hide Yo Kids, Hide Yo Wife, Get the Costume?





That's right y'all, Antoine Dodson is the number one costume for Halloween this year, at least that's what he says.



For those lame-asses (uh-hmph...Erin) unaware of the phenomenon that is - Antoine Dodson - here is the news story that started the awesome mass media frenzy.



Can't get enough? Check out the rockin' remix which, by the way, has over 16 million views on YouTube - 16 MILLION!



So for all you Antoine wannabes, get your costume NOW - according to his website they are ALMOST sold out!

Personally, I already own several Antoine-esque ensembles. For Halloween 2010 I think I'll go as a Bitter Baking Cookie, it will leave a better taste in my mouth ;oP

Best. News. Ever.

The following news has completely derailed me today. Sweet Valley Confidential: Ten Years Later's Cover Revealed.

Sweet Valley High is my second favorite book series – next to Babysitter’s Club, obviously. I’ve been dying to know what’s up with the Wakefield twins, hunky Bruce Patman and Enid Rollins (I always chose to be Enid when playing the SVH board game because I love a good redhead.)

Today, I’ve analyzed the cover (it’s ok), pre-ordered the book on Amazon, read the first chapter excerpt (Wakefield twins not speaking! What did Jessica do?!) and checked out Francine Pascal’s bohemian-chic photo.  I had a conference call with a friend about the awesomeness of what is to come on March 29th. My friend even sang the theme song from the hit mid-90’s TV series on the call. I googled the alleged movie that Diablo Cody has in the works for 2012 and read up on all the articles about the film. Basically, I’m pumped.

Now if Ann M. Martin would just get on it and tell me what those Stoneybrook babysitters are up to ten years later, my life would be complete.

Tricks for Celebrating Halloween at Every Stage of Life

In lieu of my own scrawl and blather today, I am going to treat you with a very funny article by Robert Brockway at Cracked.com - ENJOY!

Looking at Halloween across the span of our lifetimes, we see an oscillating parabola of hedonism: Babies, being stupid, don't understand the day and find it worrying, kids get their first taste of true euphoric excess, teenagers think they're too cool for it, young adults use it like a nation-wide masked orgy, and adults are just inconvenienced. But at each stage of our lives, different techniques, costumes, and behaviors may be called for to optimize our Halloween experiences. They are as follows:
