Costume Count 2013!

We were a little low on the costume count this year, but still wound up with 518. I didn't do a good job of mentioning it this year (sorry--it's a bit crazy around here), but we still had submission from the U.S., Canada, and Wales.

Okay, data points. Top costumes (quantity in parenthesis):
Ninja (13)
Princess (13)
Witch (13)
Cat (12)
Pirate (12)
Zombie (11)
Iron Man (9)
Skeleton (8)
Dancer (7)
Scream (7)
Spiderman(7)

Note: if you add character zombies (like Zombie Nurse), then there would have been 23 zombie costumes. Zombies are definitely on a strong upward trend. And Iron Man--who knew?

Also of note: 4 Minecraft Steve's. Adding all the different character Minecraft costumes together would have place it, collectively, in the top ten as well.

What's down? Vampires. Very bad year for vampires.

Top Ten costumes I wish I had seen in person this year:
Abraham Lincoln (always a classic)
Bjorn Borg (hell, yes--Borg was the MAN)
Clark Kent
Dr. Reed Richards
Headless Prom Queen
