"Judging by all our talk of Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses and Starbucks lattes yesterday, you ladies are in a fall state of mind. It seems like the perfect time to share a hilarious Halloween-costume-related tale I heard recently.\nPinterestFacebookI was telling my dermatologist how I am a complete Halloween fanatic, and she said that she is as well. I was skeptical. When I say &amp;quot;fanatic,&amp;quot; I mean that I have built a fully operational rolling beverage cart to compliment a vintage Pan Am stewardess costume (photos here), have climbed up and down flights of stairs in rollerskates (while carrying a tray) for a 1950s carhop costume, and have spent hours pinning feathers to leotards so my friends and I could resemble fluffy chickens. I am not necessarily proud of my Halloween fanaticism, but I also get competitive when others claim to be as hardcore about the holiday as me.\nHowever, as it turns out, my doctor was not exaggerating. She is a full-fledged, card-carrying Halloween fanatic. Case in point: One year she was dressing as Donatella Versace and felt that her long blond wig and head-to-toe Versace gear weren&amp;#39;t achieving the levels of accuracy she desired--so she injected her own lips with collagen to recreate Donatella&amp;#39;s signature pout (and got a dark spray tan). She had to live with puffed-up lips for weeks!\nClearly, we non-M.D.s aren&amp;#39;t able to take it quite that far. But do you have any funny stories about how far you&amp;#39;ve gone to achieve a Halloween look? Have you ever dyed or cut your hair? Applied a tattoo that turned out to be not-so-temporary? Accidentally yanked out a few eyelashes when struggling with a major set of falsies? Given yourself a dark fake tan just for Fright Night?
