We were a family that made our halloween costumes. or, more accurately, my mother made them. she took no suggestions or advice. halloween costumes were her territory. she was the brain behind my brothers winning girl costume, stuffing her own bra with newspapers for him to wear under a cashmere sweater and smearing red lipstick on his lips.

More From Ann Hood

I've laid out a plan for how we keep people safe here at home, and i've laid out a plan of how we wage war and win by denying isis territory overseas. we must deny them their territory because the territory that they've conquered because hillary clinton and barack obama declared victory in iraq and against every generals advice withdrew all of our troops, leaving a vacuum, weaponry, territory for isis to conquer, that territory, their caliphate, is that from which they draw legitimacy, potency, credibility. we have to deny them that territory.

Costume is always an asset. normal costume you have a lot to say about - if you're wearing suits or ties, and what color you want, and how it's going to be cut, and stuff like that, and whether or not you're going to wear a hat, and blah, blah, blah. but, when you're wearing a special costume, and of course, costume is probably the second ingredient in character, script being first, i always find that the costume does a lot to cement your character, to put it firmly in mind.

Or perhaps a widow found him and took him in: brought him an easy chair, changed his sweater every morning, shaved his face until the hair stopped growing, took him faithfully to bed with her every night, whispered sweet nothings into what was left of his ear, laughed with him over black coffee, cried with him over yellowing pictures, talked greenly about having kids of her own, began to miss him before she became sick, left him everything in her will, thought of only him as she died, always knew he was fiction but believed in him anyway.

When i am in a relationship, i don’t wear lipstick at all. i hate the smearing, the retouching, the constant throb of phoniness as you surreptitiously check the damage in your compact between kisses. i wear lots of mascara to compensate, different colors so i don’t get bored. when i am about to break up with a guy, he has full warning because i start wearing lipstick again.
Hate Kissing Color
If i'm wearing a top, i don't wear a bra. if i'm wearing a bra, i just wear a bra.
Bras Ifs
If you were ever dumped after knitting a guy a sweater, consider the possibility that the problem was with the sweater, not you. the recipient probably took one look at the thing, imagined a lifetime of having to pretend to like (and wear) this sweater and others of its like, and saw no choice but to flee into the night

It was a marvelous night, the sort of night one only experiences when one is young. the sky was so bright, and there were so many stars that, gazing upward, one couldn't help wondering how so many whimsical, wicked people could live under such a sky.

The academy awards was an amazing night. i know i kind of lost my mind a little bit. i apologize for that. that night went so fast i can't remember what i said or what happened.
Apology Night Awards
Each that we lose takes a part of us; a crescent still abides, which like the moon, some turbid night, is summoned by the tides.
Loss Moon Night
On a really dark night, you can see between 1,000 and 1,500 stars, and there are millions more that haven't been discovered. it is so easy to think that the world revolves around you, but all you have to do is stare up at the sky to realize it isn't that way at all. -brian fitzgerald
