HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Well Halloween has come and gone. We didn’t go to any parties, we didn’t go out on Halloween night and we didn’t trick or treat BUT we did dress up. Let me rephrase that, Michelle dressed as ROSIE THE RIVETER and I wore a VIKING HAT… Booya! Put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!


Let’s focus on Michelle’s costume: The symbol of Rosie personifies the integral contribution and abilities of women in the work force and of the important contributions that women made to the war effort as increasing numbers of men joined the armed services. Over 6 million women from all backgrounds, and from all over the country, worked at industrial jobs that challenged traditional notions of women's capabilities and ensured American productivity that helped to win the war. The sight of women outfitted in overalls and wielding industrial tools became an icon that was popularized in the 1942 song, "Rosie the Riveter," providing a nickname for all women who worked in wartime industries. Across the nation women worked in defence industries and support services including shipyards, steel mills, foundries, lumber mills, warehouses, offices, hospitals and daycare centers.


Let’s focus on Gio’s costume: It’s a Viking hat which personifies beer drinking, armchair quarterbacking and various forms of tomfoolery.

Happy Halloween everyone!!!
