Ashley McBryde Recalls Her Favourite Halloween Costume
Ashley McBryde loves Halloween, and she recalls not only her favourite Halloween costume but her favourite memory of Halloween as well.
“My friends and I take Halloween really seriously, and we try to have a themed party every year. One year we did superheroes only. We did it in East Nashville where there was super likely there would be children stopping by for candy. We had Thor, and we had the Green Arrow, we had two different versions of Batman…we had 1960s Batman, we had the Dark Knight Batman, we had Penguin, we had the Hulk. I got to be Wonder Woman…this was back when I was the size and shape, this was a few years ago when I was the size and shape that I could wear a spandex thing all night if I wanted to and look decent. My favourite part of it was, we’d sit on the porch and kids would come by and they would see superheroes, and they would tell their parents ‘Mom! It’s Batman!’ and they would run up on the porch and we’d give them candy, and some of them were dressed as superheroes too! Of course, it’s Halloween. And we would say ‘We’ve been fighting crime all night, where have you been!’ and they were like ‘We’ve been getting candy!’ That was, hands down, my favourite Halloween, so that gets to be my favourite costume.”
