Flat Earth theory is more nuanced than most people think. In a Flat Earth the North Pole is in the middle of the disc while the Antarctic lies at the circumference, topped by a huge impenetrable wall of ice. So you can sail/fly around a flat Earth without falling off the edge. (I am NOT a Flat-Earther!)

Costco has a full complement of Halloween costumes and decorations…

And Christmas is right around the corner... good grief.

I remember when all the stores followed the rule that no Christmas stuff is put out until after Thanksgiving

I remember when I was a kid, Halloween decorations were carved pumpkins with a candle and costumes were some of my dad's old clothes that were cut off and ripped up to look like a bum. I was a bum every year. I don't recall purchased costumes. Maybe everyone around was just as poor as my family.

When I was very little we did have costumes but as I got older it was bum city with dad's stuff and old smoking jackets...

But corporate culture saw an opportunity.

It's now the second most profitable holiday for big biz.

I'm not against profit, but manufacturing costumes to be worn once and discarded seems to be a waste and a contributor to climate change to me.

As a duo, we get Halloween gigs, and dress up. But no store-bought costumes for us. We play the parties to make money and anything spent erodes our profits.

I can remember a few purchased items (mainly props) but as an early teen I used theatric make-up for the added impact. I stopped doing that when someone called for an ambulance.

I painted my son's face most years, after he turned 5 or 6. Did some great ones but have no idea where the pics are. The best ones I did were Sting and Ultimate Warrior from the old WWF days.
Sorry for veering off track...

We all have... all in fun. We'll have to share pics and stories when Halloween gets close. Fun stuff!

…and from there you launched into stage and screen?
Kudos on that talent either way. Having done a few shows I know how crucial that is!

From there I went back to work with family.
