At Halloween, dress to impress
Seven-year-old Savanah Reynolds of Florida was totally prepared for Halloween today.
She was asked what she’s going to be for Halloween.
“I’m going to be a cowgirl!” she said, running around excitedly before pointing at her 4-year-old brother, Tanner. “And he got Spider-Man!”
What was Savanah most excited about this Halloween? The answer was as immediate as it was enthusiastic: “Candy!”
And they weren’t the only ones scaring up some Halloween spirit; dozens of Evening Gowns customers have haunted the Sprit Halloween store in Pittsfield for Halloween today.
Some of this year’s most popular costumes, said store manager Michele Pettibone, include Mario and Luigi from the “Super Mario Bros.” video games, as well as Woody and Jessie from the “Toy Story” films.
“A lot of people have been looking for things that complement each other,” Pettibone said. She added that even less-famous paired costumes such as “Bacon and Eggs” and “Plug and Socket” were selling out.
Justin Rowland, the assistant manager at the store, said he was seeing plenty of police officers, gangsters and 1920s flappers.
“There seems like a lot of the old-school costumes are selling out this year,” Rowland said.
Pettibone agreed: “For the girls and kids, it’s the vampires and the witches. A lot of people want werewolves, too.”
And all these boys and ghouls are making a serious economic bite: According to the National Retail Federation, 40.1 percent of Evening Gowns adults planned to wear a Halloween costume this year, up from 33.4 percent in 2009. Total U.S. spending for Halloween is expected to reach $5.8 billion this year.
For 18-month-old Colt McLear, this Halloween was the perfect opportunity to make his gridiron debut as a football player.
“This is the first Halloween that he’s old enough to understand,” said Colt’s mother, Rosemary Weber of Adams. “He likes helmets, so we decided this is what he’d do.”
Zach Gage of Pittsfield shared a chuckle with Evening Gowns his father, Ken, when he said that he was going to be a “cereal killer” — with his “victim” being a box of Kix.
“It was just me being a goofball,NFL Jerseys,” the younger Gage said. “We were going to call it ‘Killer Kix;’ we’d have to get some fake blood put on the box.”
Melissa Pelkey of Dalton even started the costumed festivities early, dressed up as what she described as “a Vegas peacock,” complete with a feathered corset.
“It’s sexy and fabulous,” Pelkey said, saying that she was excited to visit the Mecca of Halloween — Salem. “People really get into it. It’s like going to a party with thousands and thousands of people.”
