• Designers and their Halloween costumes news and information! "My favorite costume was the year I went as a bodega," says Vena Cava's Lisa Mayock. "This year? Still working it out, but I think Jeff Halmos and I are going to be Mario and Luigi from Super Mario Bros." Co-designer Sophie Buhai: "One year I was 'pregnant,' and I just drank and smoked with a very real-looking stomach. It was very offensive and I don't know if people really thought I was in costume. But I thought it was funny! This year I want to be Laurie Anderson and am looking for a good white suit and electric violin." Pregnant! That is disgusting and we love it. [T]
