Matching Lameness Is A-OK for Halloween

I take pride in the fact that I have never ever* worn matching outfits with a boyfriend. In fact, pointing and laughing at such tragic couples was a very satisfying adolescent pastime at shopping malls and amusement parks. For some reason, gingham shorts sets seemed to be very popular among the coordinated-outfits crowd. But alas, Halloween presents an opportunity to coordinate and maybe, just maybe, not be lame.

For some odd reason, my husband has suggested that we spend Halloween as Sonny and Cher. This. Will. Not. Happen. I am however open to other things. Perhaps Foxy Brown a la Pam Grier and Jean-Claude Van Damme (Interracial crime fighting couple FTW!) or maybe Bill Thompson and Mayor Bloomberg in honor of the NYC mayoral election and my geekiness. I’m also debating some ingenious way to dress up as the public option and Joe Lieberman (something involving Droopy and a knife). I don’t know. We’ll see. What about you? Are you coordinating Halloween gear with your boo?

*I have a tiny confession. I wore a dark green gown to prom and my date wore a black tux with a dark green cummerbund and bow tie. I actually did not know what he was wearing until he showed up at my house.
