Dear Readers, It’s October, and while stores may be racing ahead to get us thinking about snowflakes and Santa, making it all too easy to get swept up into the rush to Christmas consumerism and holiday spending, let's not let corporate America overshadow the most truly important season that reigns over the year: Spooky Season.
That’s right, y’all. As the temperatures are dropping, we are not only tossing on our light jackets but also our masks, wigs and witch hats. If I could wear my pointy-headed wide-brimmed hats yearround, I totally would. However, the three that I own (black, gray and pink) are all rather warm and tend to be best in the cooler months. If you know where I can score a straw witch hat that would work for the spring or summer, please holla at a witch.
The other night, I was going out for a girlfriend’s birthday celebration, and naturally, I tossed on my knee-high cowgirl boots and a casual witch hat for the occasion. As soon as I stepped onto the subway, a man gasped and stared at me wide-eyed with his jaw dropped. I must say, it was one of my favorite gawking reactions. But he didn’t stop there. He was so terrified by my awesome attire that he proceeded to perform the sign of the cross over his head and chest, and I could not have been more flattered.
