Halloween is now just a couple days away! Do you have your costume picked out yet? I don't. For some reason, I just can't get a good idea going this year. I've got nothing and I'm quickly running out of time.
With that in mind, I turned to my fellow WhiteFencers for some inspiration. I asked a group of co-workers what their favorite Halloween costume of all time was, whether it was something they had worn, something they'd dressed their kids (or pets) in, or just something cool they'd seen around.
Here are some favorites from around the office:
- Monica, Manager of Marketing Content – My favorite Halloween costume as a child was when I went as Raggedy Ann. I was 8 years old and I had a HUGE Raggedy Ann doll, so that year I borrowed her clothes to make my costume. Yes I was that petite and the doll was that big.
- Tara, Senior Manager of Paid Search – My favorite Halloween costume ever was when I put my English Bulldog—Delilah—in a tutu (my husband was not impressed)! She waddled sideways in embarrassment until we took it off! Poor thing... but a bulldog named Delilah just needs a tutu—seemed only fitting!
- Amanda, Manager of Product Marketing – My favorite costume was my son’s first Halloween costume. He was 11 months old and the cutest giraffe ever! I dressed up as a ladybug, complete with antennae and wings, though it didn’t compare with how cute my little giraffe was!

- Eddy, Senior Copywriter – When I was a kid I dressed up one time as MC Hammer. My mom made me the Hammer pants, and I loved them so much I wore them the next day to school, where I was ridiculed for the rest of the week. I’m not sure why she let me leave the house like that. Now that I think about it, that’s probably not my favorite costume.
- Molly, Web Designer – I tend to lean more towards animals than humans. I think mainly because it can be more clever in my opinion! I think I may take my cow color-coated dog as an excuse to dress her up as the most hilarious dog costume I have ever seen:
I think she can pull it off! Either that or a Chik-Fil-A cow.
- Brooke, Manager of Paid Search – A favorite of mine was a group of children dressed as s'mores. They all wore black turtlenecks and pants, strapped white pillows to their chests and backs and topped it all off with sheets of cardboard over the pillows. For a costume that didn't cost anything, it sure had a lot of impact!






While millions of Americans have taken the plunge and swapped their traditional light bulbs for compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), there are still a few issues with the bulbs keeping everyone from making the switch.
Over the last year, I've told you about Belkin's cool Conserve series of green products with articles on the
Back when the Internet first became a reality for home use, it seemed like a bit of a luxury. Sure, there were practical applications such as researching a paper for school or e-mailing a relative, but there were plenty of other more practical ways of accomplishing the same goals.
The World Series kicks off next week, but is your TV plan ready? Without the right service, you won't be getting the most out of the action.
While the traditional incandescent light bulb isn't exactly beautiful, the design does have a certain purposeful charm. One common thing people that switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs tend to miss about their old bulbs is that simple look. CFLs typically have a tightly coiled look that can be a little unsightly.
