green_amberas David Bowie once opined ... except it is.
Walking down to the Cameo, I just kept running into adults dressed in fancy dress. Does anyone else remember when we Brits reluctantly let our kids enjoy the odd sparkler on Guy Fawkes Night, which was SIX DAYS LATER than all this stuff - when it was guising not trick-or-treat, ducking for apples not worrying about razor blades in "candy", and when adults had absolutely nothing to do with Halloween except, slowly but surely, watching Roseanne and then Simpsons Halloween specials on TV? Am I 125??
Globalisation has a lot to answer for !-)
In spirit with the holiday, however, I went to see Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (as did everyone else in Edinburgh it appeared) and it is indeed GREAT and very pretty, but really, I'm not sure there's much else to say, except, did you notice Danny Elfman has a speaking part, aww!, and I wonder what Tim and Helena's kids will look like? Probably they'll dress like OU physics lecturers, anything not to look like goths!!!
