Take Back Halloween

Halloween approaches! Source your costumes now. And may I highly suggest Take Back Halloween for some awesome ideas? They are the nicest and smartest people, and the costumes are doable even for those of us who cannot sew. The Persephone costume, for example, which I'll likely try, just requires folding and pinning a sheet over your shoulders and tying a rope around your waist. Can do!

Or be a pirate: Anne Bonny, Mary Read, or Ching Shih...or Amelia Earhart or Frida Kahlo or the cross-dressing Queen Christina of Sweden...really, so many cool choices over there.
