For what it's worth, Australians also have no qualms about rushing off to a costume shop and renting (hiring, they might call it) a costume for an evening. They do not seem to understand the creativity called for by this holiday, much less the rule that, unless absolutely necessary for a real humdinger of a Halloween, you never spend wads of money on a costume. (Remember that funny little rule about things costing $1 at American dollar stores?)
I for one was asked if I'd rented or made my costume. Seeing as it was nothing more than a huge hunk of fabric safety pinned together I was taken aback and slightly insulted. Perhaps I should give Pamela a tip for putting in the pins?
