In the year leading up to this Halloween, L was heavy into the Percy Jackson books, which led to a wider interest in Greek mythology. She decided to dress up as the coolest character on the block: Medusa. Since Ohio Halloweens are notoriously chilly, instead of doing full body paint under her toga, we just popped a green fleece under there. The face paint was so effective that she had a greenish pallor during her birthday party the next day.
