spoonlessWell, it's not quite as sexy as last year's costume, but here are a few pics of my halloween costume this year:
Yes, even supervillains must enjoy a nice slice of pizza now and then...
In 1989, the year the first Batman came out, I went as the Joker as well... Jack Nicholson style. (I had a lot shorter hair then.) I was 12 years old and in 7th grade. And I remember coming home with my mouth hurting because I had tried to not stop smiling all day long :) So this year feels like I've really completed some kind of circle, by going as the Heath Ledger Joker.
Alphabetically, this makes the sequence for the last 5 years: Z Z V V J. And I seem to be more prone to playing villains than heros... hmmm. A girl I knew at Georgia Tech once said to someone while giggling and pointing at me like a little puppy dog "The funny thing about Jeff is that he would *love* to be evil if he could. But he can't!" At the time it made me feel humiliated and small... like I wanted to prove her wrong, either by demonstrating how truly evil I was, or by denying that I wanted to be evil. But the funny thing is, the more life experience I have, the more I realize she was *so* right about me :)
