My girlfriend was Rainbow Brite for Halloween. I was Starlite, her magical horse. I made my costume and was really excited about it. Until I put it all on and realized rather than being the most magnificent horse in the universe, I was the most frightening horse in Chicago.

Here’s something that was said by strangers that night.

GIRL: (About my two friends) Hey look it’s Brad and Angelina.

And Rainbow Brite! 

GUY: (about me) And.. What the fuck?

I also got, “look it’s a pig!”, “check out that chicken”, and “these costumes are scaring the shit out of me… especially that one”

Over all, it was a pretty good night.
