I have friends who really go for it in a big way. Every year they out-do last year's supremely involved (and always subtly sexy/flattering) spooky costumes complete with six-hours in make-up and pro quality photography. I can't help thinking the whole shebang, which they will claim is staged for the benefit of the kids, is an elaborate excuse to show-off their attractiveness, their quirky creativity and above all the fact that they have attained the kind of lifestyle nirvana that allows the money and time to indulge in such committed whimsy.
