The "Burke" "Winfrey" Debacle for Halloween 2011.

It is the question that has plagued mankind since the dawn of the universe; what to be for Halloween.  While Halloween has not always been that much of a big deal for me in the past, in recent years it has taken on a whole new meaning for me. In the past I have been my alter ego Shanasty Delicious Starkisha, and who could forget the unstoppable duo of Venus and Serena Williams. 

But this year it is time to pay tribute to my past and what has made me who I am today. Delta Burke and Oprah Winfrey have played huge roles in the life of one Mr. Steven Alley, growing up the highlight of my morning was watching old Designing Women episodes with my mom on Lifetime, all the sassy jokes and pre-menopausal humor was just more that I could stand as an 8 year old boy. 

However, there was always the ever present impression of Oprah Winfrey in my life, while most boys my age ran home after school to play their video games or out in the yard with a ball (EW) I rushed home to catch that days episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, which not only taught me how to be a well rounded cultured adult, but also that it is okay to wear neon colored eye shadow even after it has gone out of style and who does not love that?

 I have been bouncing these ideas back and forth in my head since Labor Day Oprah or Delta and I just can not decide, the good news is that both would require the use of my favorite thing in the world, SHOULDER PADS! For both ladies I would like to pay tribute to my youth and do Delta Burke circa 1987 or Oprah Winfrey circa 1994, but my fait I am afraid lies in your hands, you must help me decide.

Please post your comments below and I look forward to what Halloween will hold in store for me, and I promise a full roll of photos to share with you.

XOXO
