Roxanne’s Halloweens Through The Years
It’s so funny because I just spent some time going back through the last eight years, and each costume photo kind of captures the theme of the year and the vibe in my life at that point in time.
This is a way back in time throwback.

Sometime in the 80's...me and my little sis as Kermit and Miss Piggy. My Mom made these costumes.

I was very focused on my career at this point...working a full time job in radio and part time on TV. My co-host Debra and I dressed as Elsa and Anna. The funny thing is I hadn't even seen the movie Frozen.

...was also the year that kicked off Covid, so it was a hodgepodge of a Halloween. We didn't trick-or-treat. Just stood outside and ate candy, and we were pretty low-key with costumes. This is an unidentifiable raggedy princess costume.

And Davianna loved being a ladybug so much, she napped in her costume for like 2 weeks straight even after Halloween.
