Well, it's Halloween weekend, and sadly, as my waistline expands, my options for poignant costumes dwindles in direct proportion.  As I've already "done" Chaz Bono and a Cholo over the past couple of years, this leaves me with Idi Amin, John Wayne Gacy, Friar Tuck, Mr. Creosote, and Shelly Winters.

In the meantime, please enjoy the "Hip-Hop Bling" avatar designed by the incredibly talented artist, Bernard Chang; and I hope y'all all have a wonderful, fun, and safe weekend.

Halloween 2011

Get into it!
