Halloween Costume Ideas for Children

Littlest Prisoner at Abu Ghraib

The Your child will be the hit of the neighborhood costume parade in this recreation of the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal’s most indelible image. As an added bonus this easy-to-make costume will remind everyone on your child’s trick-or-treat route of our national shame! Simply roll a cone from a sheet of 24″x38″ black cardstock, making sure to cut out a hole for the face. Drape with two yards of black felt, and add leftover wires from your last lamp-rewiring project. VoilÀ! So easy, so quick, and so terrifying!

I put this question to you, my loyal reader(s)…

I’ve got an interesting question to put to you dear reader(s). This morning, I received an e-mail from an annonymouse woman in NYC with a invitation to trade blog links. Since this is my first invitation of this sort, and since ultimately YOU read my blog, I wanted to get some input from you.

Here’s the letter:

Hi,
I recently came across your blog Beyond Buffalo, and I think its fabulous! That letter from the Christian Conservative was aawesome. Maybe once Bush gets booted he’ll get subpeoned to answer those questions.

My blog has a bunch of regular visitors and I think that some of them would enjoy your blog. What would you think about doing a link exchange? If you’d like to, here is my link A New York Escorts Confessions. Please let me know what you think.

xoxo,
Alexa

I’m going to sit down and read a book and wait for your responses.

I hope you all say YES, cause I’m rather envious of her career choice and can’t wait to expand my knowledge of NYC. Plus, she’s a great little writer.
