It's almost a tie. Both got lots of attention for different reasons... 2001 I was a vampire - kind of confused the dom & sub roles b/c, let's face it, I'm incredibly tame. I wore a collar AND carried whips. But the rest of the costume rocked! I had a full black ballgown skirt, a black corset and a black and white coat that buttoned in the center and was open at the top and bottom. Even had fangs that fit like appliances. 2002 I went as Mary Sanderson w/ 2 friends who dressed as the other 2 Sanderson sisters. Both times I won part of "best couple" -- first time, with a guy who came as part of a couple (vampire & victim), that was weird -- and the second time, the 3 of us won best couple (there wasn't a group category).

I have tons of great wench costumes, but the rule at the party was that you couldn't wear garb you'd already worn to faire.

". . . he would have passed a pleasant life of it, in despite of the Devil and all his works, if his path had not been crossed by a being that causes more perplexity to mortal man than ghosts, goblins, and the whole race of witches put together, and that was--a woman." Washington Irving, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
