My friend, BadEvan is conducting a Halloween Costume contest. The contest is being sponsored by Buycostumes.com. The prize is $500. That’s right, $500 for your costume should you be the lucky winner. Now, I know my readers can dig down deep into their creative subconscious mind and find the perfect costume idea. All you have to do is get a picture of your costume and send it to BadEvan and then wait for the judges to decide who wins. The details are found at BadEvan’s site.

Here’s the most important part of this contest. I was asked to be a judge and I was told that bribes are allowed! Shoes make me happy folks, so I am imagining a whole new closet being built, just for those shoes. Send them my way and sway my vote. (Or not, but definitely one of the two!)
