Costume choices in Lakeside
Halloween, the one day a year where everyone cosplays
Paper doll, Wednesday Adams, and Medusa
Twin Thors
It’s Halloween season, the time of year when much of the population dresses the way San Diego cosplayers do on a regular basis.
This weekend I attended a friend of a friend’s Halloween soiree in the boonies, a.k.a. Lakeside.
In my opinion, one’s choice of Halloween costume speaks volumes. Take these two Thor twinsies for instance; Erik on the right takes his outfit very seriously. I think he may have grown his hair out to better fit the character. Meanwhile, Steve Lettow took a more humorous approach with a DIY costume made out of foam, craft sheets topped off with a ridiculous, shiny, bleach-blond wig.
Casondra Vachon's mummy costume
Casondra Vachon opted for a mummy outfit. She went the free route using torn-up strips of old bed sheets and leftover white body paint from last year’s Halloween costume. She’s like a hip Martha Stewart.
Enrique dressed as Albert Einstein. His black Chuck Taylors took a little bit of authenticity away from the costume. But still, dressed as Einstein, everything Enrique said that night took on a much deeper meaning.

Kelly Grosse chose an appropriate costume for her wild, curly hair in her Medusa costume. She bobby-pinned metallic snakes to her long locks. She wore silver, glittery eye make-up and faux lashes to top off her spooky look.
Meanwhile, Shelby Hartman, ever-so-crafty, constructed her paper doll costume out of two sheets of poster board, Sharpies, and purple craft paint. It was a good choice for Hartman, who makes her living selling homemade recycled goods at local farmer’s markets.
Lastly, I dressed as Wednesday Adams only because everything I wore was already in my closet. Also, I have an obsession with Peter Pan collars. it was a lazy person's costume choice.
