How many of you will be dressed up as Ugly Betty this Halloween? This is the only costume I can come up with where having real braces has a huge advantage!
But Ugly Betty is a little predictable. You could dress as a High School Cheerleader, or dress for Homecoming or Prom, or as some other teenage character. I've thought about doing something involving fake headgear (which I don't have for real). More ideas?
Braced for 2 years, 11 months, 2 weeks and 5 days (the 2nd time ‘round)

ahhhaha I never thought of doing Ugly Betty. It could be deemed predictable, but I think it's a hilarious idea! I wasn't going to dress up now that I'm out of college, but now I totally need to find a place to go!
