I have just waved a magic wand over your head..

OMG!!!

I was reading through this thread and saw the comment on being an Indian. Yes, that's what we would have called it and not a native American. Times change.

To prove times change, another of my home-made costumes was a Hobo.

Yes. A Hobo. With ratty clothes, an old men's coat, and a cigar. My mom put her dark brown eye shadow on my face to make it look like I had a beard.

I was a hobo one year too. I was probably around 4 or 5.

Gypsy! The neighbor girls had this awesome black dress with silver moons and stars printed on it.

Dorothy or Alice. I really wanted to be Dorothy this year, but finances did not allow. Instead, I'm going to be the Wicked Witch of the East (since I already have ruby slippers and black/white striped tights).

For some reason, I want to be a cupcake.

I'll bite (no pun intended).. How does one dress up like a "cupcake"?

I would be either Strawberry Shortcake (equip with strawberry scent!) or Raggedy Ann!
