Whatever you’re dressing up as this Halloween, eBay wants you to share your costume on Facebook and enter for a chance to win one of fifteen $100 eBay Gift Cards! Winners will be selected at random every day from now until October 31. Of course, they want you to check out their Halloween page too. But I say check out what I’m selling on eBay — certainly part of your $100 shopping spree can be spent with me.

Will the Charlie Sheen costume seem so funny?
We don’t always wish to be remembered for our costumes… Would you be proud to discover your ancestor in this vintage Halloween photo, circa 1920s? Wouldn’t you prefer to remain ignorant to grandpa in blackface? I’d prefer he was the gas-mask wearing guy. But never ever the horn-playing clown. I’m fine, however, with cross-dressing grandma. I have plenty of those in my family tree. (I’m pretty sure I posted pics of that somewhere… But I couldn’t find them, even with Google’s help. Bummer.)

Look for the other Kitschy Kitschy Coo Halloween posts here and here.
So many bright ideas; so many hats. The Illuminants, Ziegfeld Follies Midnight Frolic; Via.
Because I believe I am Ookla… I deserve this vintage Ookla The Moc Halloween costume and mask by Ben Cooper. I don’t really have entitlement issues; but I do think I’m entitled to this one thing.

Nifty nerds posting with groovy kitschy puppets; photo found inside Space Age Puppets and Masks by M. C. Green and B. R. H. Targett, published by Plays, Inc, 1969. (My copy, a stated First American Edition, is available.)

But it’s waiters wearing masks for Mardi Gras in a restaurant in Bayern; München, Germany, 1933.
