Submitting on behalf of my fam—Maia, Brian, Fox and Charlie—because OMG 👏
As an actual chef I decided to dress up as my favorite Chef, Chef.
Red Son aka the True Superman
I spared no expense...
Face it, True Believers! You’ve just hit the jackpot! Stan “The Man” Lee, at your service. Excelsior!
Super happy with how my Punk 13th Doctor turned out!
The kid got really into “The Last Unicorn” this summer and my parents agreed to join the costume fun. But we won’t be all together until 10/31. So sharing a decade-old favorite. Best to everyone for a safe a spooky time this year.
