My Halloween Costume: The Evolution of Snow White via boomerhighway
To Keaton, Snow White was passive, just hanging around waiting for a prince.
But there was that time when I loved seeing Snow White’s image, though being blonde, I longed for her ebony-black hair, the red bow, flowing yellow skirt, and dark blue cape. So one Halloween when my granddaughter saidwanted to be Cinderella, I gladly bought her the costume.
Because then, my mother tied a white cotton dishtowel around my neck–my Snow White cape, that fell not so gracefully over my corduroys, tee-shirt, and scuffed shoes. But in my child mind, I was dealing with the Wicked Queen, hanging out with the Seven Dwarfs. Surely the image in the mirror was different, but still wonderful filtered through my amazing childhood imagination.
So thanks to my mother, as I now realize my dishtowel was the right way to go. It triggered my imagination. In my childhood, I had books that provided constant discovery. The imagination worked over time creating fantasies: Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy–all exciting and very real. All you had to do was live inside your head. AND, when you put on a bright colored towel that hung down to the floor, you were a pirate.
