This year my favorite is the Arabian princess I saw at WalMart on Friday. She had a headdress and necklace like the coin headdresses and necklace worn by some of the Arabian nomad women. It is a style that goes back to Helen of Troy. You have seen them in National Geographic, headdresses of chains and coins, necklaces to match. It was a child's fake copy, but the copy was very well done.
I think we are too ethnocentric in our Halloween costumes. We need to import from other cultures. In case you do not know it, the unusual costume is often the most admired.
