The year was 1983. I was six years old. And this was my Halloween costume:
A search of google images this morning led me to the real Wonder Woman.
Props to my mom who outfitted me with a true to character costume (except that the real WW had those awesome boots, and apparently I was stuck with my patent leather mary janes...which ironically are back in style). But check out the awesome headband and wrist cuffs, and even the golden lasso! My mom sure had an eye for detail. And she even had me pose (reluctantly, it appears) just like Lynda Carter. I have to wonder, though, if the Wonder Woman costume was really my choice?
Now, I did a little research and discovered that Wonder Woman only ran for three seasons from 1975-1979. I was just a wee little two-year old when the series ended. Which begs the question...did I even know who Wonder Woman was? Did the show air as re-runs and did I become a big fan? Did I want to be just like her when I grew up? I have no idea, but I think it was a pretty awesome costume anyway. Maybe one of these days when I have a Halloween party to go to, I can re-create it.
Hope you all have a spooky Halloween! BOO!
I love mary janes. And I love Wonder Woman. So yeah, this is the best costume ever. I'm guessing your mom was a fan!
