A Tribute to Unsung Heroes

There is no lower man on the fashion industry totem pole than the “Halloween Costume Model”. Rarely recognized for their work in print advertising campaigns run solely during the month prior to the year’s spookiest holiday, “Halloween Costume Models” are part model, part actor, and part inspiration. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank these unsung heroes. If it weren’t for them, we might not drop millions of dollars a year on one-size fits all, 100% flammable, 100% polyester, moderately similar replica costumes of our favorite foods, superheroes, and TV/Movie characters. We salute you "Halloween Costume Model" and hope that your recent gig as "Napolean Dynamite #2 - Target.com Online Halloween Section" leads to bigger and better things.*

*Thanks to Dave for pointing this out to me and demanding that I acknowledge the efforts of these incredible people.
