Cavewoman


Since Halloween is near, I thought I would look back at some of the costumes I wore over the years. This has to be my favorite - just a few 20+ years back - Yipes!! I made this costume, having a cavewoman in mind. Bought some faux fur and just cut to size - the fur boots were pretty easy - just wrapped the fur around my shoes and tied with rope like I have around my waist. I boiled chicken bones and made them into earrings and hung a few from my waist as well. Made an animal print armband, tossled the hair, rubbed some brown paint all over me, and voila - a cavewoman. I remember that night well. I bowled in a league and then went out partying. Oh, the memories. Halloween is great! The one night we can be whoever we want........

  5. I did wear it a couple more times after that particular Halloween and then I stored it in a drawer for years ~ finally got rid of it as I didn't think I would ever wear it again. Now I wish I had it!!
