Did you hear about this year’s costume contest? I didn’t think so. I just made it up. Today, in fact. After choosing the winner.

That’s right. I found this year’s contest winner, and then I decided to have a contest.

I know. It’s backward. Typically, people hold a contest and then select a winner. But we all know what they say about being typical. Pinch a penny and it’s worth a thousand king’s horses.

This year’s Halloween dress-up theme: Jesse Chapman (apparently…?)

Thanks to my friend Michelle for sending me this great picture (and in turn, creating the contest and choosing the winner).

Pictured above is this year's winner for the Jesse Chapman look-a-like costume contest (a contest that no one told me about until afterward—and that's just rude).

All future contestants are now required to attend a one hour hair training session.

Other than that, I don’t really have many suggestions. This year’s winner certainly took me by surprise! And to everyone else who submitted entries but didn’t win (zero), good luck next year!
