This year, I dressed up as Saffron from the British Comedy, Absolutely Fabulous. Two of my work friends joined me as Patsy and Edina. By the end of the day, we’d decided that we were each a bit like our characters, since 99% of our costumes came out of our closets, but the characters took our personality traits to extremes. So, without further ado, may I present the cast of Absolutely Fabulous!

We would have been without a photographer, but luckily a Green Lantern swung by to take our picture.

You can tell she’s a real one because her ring glows.

I got some amazing feedback from folks:

• The manager whose office I sit outside said, “You look cute! Now, are you dressed up?” Methinks I need to re-evaluate my work wardrobe.
• One guy from the office actually recognized us without being given a hint, “AB FAB!”
• Another one asked if I was Amy Farrah Fowler off of Big Bang Theory and I had to concede that perhaps this year I’d stumbled on a double costume!
• I swung by the HeB (grocery store) on my way home. A couple of teenage guys approached me and the first one said, “Nice costume!”. I replied, “Thank you” and smiled. The second and less quick-witted one followed this up with, “Is that a costume?” I just continued smiling, nodded, and kept walking.
• A four or five year old little boy in the store gave me a, “Cool!”….he was evidently sure it was a costume.

Overall, another fun Halloween! Thanks for the great costume idea, Edina! And points for great execution to Patsy!

Ps. I almost forgot, when TH saw me, he said, “are you allowed to wear a skirt to work?”. He cracks me up. But, I do love some pants/jeans. Thank you, Katherine Hepburn!
