Halloween

So last year at my work, we were told we could 'dress up' for Halloween - in fact it was encouraged.   Let me tell you, there are limited, um, let's call them 'work appropriate' halloween costumes for women my age.   And that didn't stop some women I worked with from going all out....

Anyhow, it might not be easy to tell from the pictures, but I was Pam Beasley from NBC's "The Office".   I curled my hair and wore half of it back like she does and dressed in her typical garb (sweater, button down shirt, skirt).   It was quick, cheap, and to be quite frank - very last-minute.   

However, it was successful!  A good amount of people recognized and appreciated the costume.  Considering my actual job in my 'office' - it was what I like to call 'subtle humor'.  

Since I hadn't put much thought into the costume ahead of time - this year I was thinking of repeating 'the Pam', but putting more detail into it (maybe a Dunder Mifflin nametag - even though she doesn't wear that, maybe some keds a la the second season Dundies).  

However, another idea recently emerged.  There's another woman out there whom I could easily emulate with a few basic details (hair, makeup, clothing, etc.).  Another woman who would be familiar and could easily be appreciated by many.  I don't want to tip my cards too soon - however, I think a loyal blog reader could figure out the woman I have in mind.  

So, I'm leaving it up to you, dear reader - I'm hoping to get some votes.  Pam Beasley or the other choice?  Which would be better?  More interesting?  Less common?  I'd like to hear your opinion....
