Halloween costume contest: A smackdown!
My 10-year-old daughter and I love to dream up and create unique costumes for her to wear on Halloween. Sometimes the planning stage can take months, but we try to keep the actual production stage to a weekend or less.
Our business model is simple: No sewing required (mommy can’t sew), and the project must be cost-effective (i.e., cost less to make than buying a costume off the shelf, preferably using materials we can scrounge up around the house).
So far we’ve had glorious successes. Last year she went as a hot dog lunch, sporting a hot dog hat and red-checkered tablecloth draped over a cardboard “table” balancing on her shoulders.
Just in time for this year’s Refrigerator Costume debut, there’s a costume contest sponsored by the National Milk Mustache “Got Milk?” Campaign and Gather, a social networking site.
Gather members are invited to share their best Halloween costume photos and enter to win a family photo session with a professional photographer, $50 Target gift cards, or a year’s supply of milk, all courtesy of the “Got Milk?” campaign.
But really, come on now, do you think your kid’s costume can hold a candle to mine? Especially since my girl has a mini-milk carton hot-glued right to her chest? That’s brilliant, if I do say so myself.
If you’re interested in taking the challenge, post your photo contest submissions to Gather’s Manic Mommies group using Gather’s new photo-sharing and digital album technology. Deadline is Thursday, Nov. 6. Photo entries will be judged in categories including Cutest Kids, Family Fun, Precious Pets, Most Creative and Milk Mustache.
Who couldn’t use a year’s supply of milk, especially in this sour economy.
