Face it, you're either a Halloweeny or you're not. But at P & S we feel that in tough times nothing is more uplifting dressing up, going out, and making people laugh at you. We found serious inspiration at Screaming Mimi's, the A-List vintage shop that goes out of its way this time of year to create the season's most memorable outfits.

Wham Bam Pan Am, Ma'am!

So what if she actually looks less Pan Am and more like the Delta trolly dolly that recently grumbled at me at the airport? Stewardesses are just so now. (And so is cross-dressing.) Vintage reversible cape $110.99; 1960's dress, $68; White gloves $12; Flip wig $42; hat $48; shoes $55.

Snatch This Patch

NEWS FLASH! Alex Streeter was one of the HOT jewelry designers working in 1980s NYC and Mimi's has just acquired a limited number of his fantastic pewter eye patches ($175). Feels very Grace Jones, no?

Rah Rah Ha Ha

Vintage cheerleading sweater for guys $88; vintage cheerleading skirt $45; vintage cheereleading top $28. Totally cute for couples.

Tutu Much

This Black Swan get-up is not easy to squeeze into, but it's sure to be remembered. Black corset $139; tutu $48.99; feather belt $95; feather vest $125; feather headpiece $19; black rhinestone metal mask $125.

Scary, Hairy, Extra-Ordinary
