Countdown to Christmas - 65 Days
By Sandra Harper - October 22, 2009
The holiday season does launch with Halloween, so I set out for Adele's Costumes on Hollywood Blvd and headed straight to the witch section. Is there anything more fun than twirling around in a drapey black dress with fluttery sleeves? I completely understand why small boys want to wear Transformer suits - who doesn't want to feel more powerful? There appear to be two looks in sorcery: there's your Morticia Adams elegant witch and there's slutty hooker witch; I prefer old-fashioned spell-casting witch myself. The sort of old woman that crouches over a cauldron and boils wicked little children  along with toads and eye of newt. If you're looking for some early holiday cheer, look no further than a cape and pointy hat.  It's guaranteed to make you feel powerful -  whatever the occasion.
