Mystery Picture 091028 - Halloween Edition!

Dave, Susan, Alea, and Breck already have the Halloween spirit in full swing, with pictures of pumpkin carving to prove it. With them in Mumbai on the other side of the International Date Line, they of course will have the jump start on this year's festivities.

Do not despair, norteamericanos! GAP today is full of last-minute Halloween ideas just for you. Sure, we jumped the gun a little and suggested awhile back that Ellen dress up as Indiana Jones. But now we present lots of other costume ideas.

First up, today's mystery picture.

I am pretty sure this is not Halloween and that one of them is Susan. (Not the Susan above; the other Susan. I know, it get's confusing!) The picture said "Susan's party - Jul 69", so that's all I know. But, which one is Susan and who are the others? And, honestly, besides Cinderella in pink, what are those other costumes supposed to be? So, if you are short on Halloween ideas, the mystery picture demonstrates that you can raid your dress-up bin, grab random items, and still be famous for your costume 40 years later!

Next up, Grandpa and his cousin Ela.

I know nothing else about this picture, but I am going to guess that this wasn't Halloween, either. Does anyone have ideas about when or where this picture was taken? Again, rummage through the dress-up bin and become famous, except this time it is about 80 years after the picture was taken.

Next, the Montana look.

If instead of crossing the International Date Line to have Halloween early you fall into a time warp and get magically transported to the summer of 1978, you should -- for the maximum awesomeness effect -- 1) unbutton your shirt, 2) put an apron on, 3) wear the gaudiest sunglasses you can find, and 4) give the universal signs of coolness. Rob (yeah, that's me) surely proves that this costume could work for Halloween, too. Trick or treat, baby!

Finally, Joe puts on Marine dress whites and a wig for a costume with ... uh ... patriotic Halloween flair.

We won't ask if he doesn't tell!
