Trick-O-Treat with Barack and Sasha Obama

Barack Obama took a break from politickin' to take his youngest daughter Sasha trick-or-treating for Halloween. Any guesses as to what Sasha is dressed up as? Is she some form of rag-tag ghost? Is it part of a pirate costume?

And naturally, where Barack and the "littlest" Obama went so did an entourage of Secret Service, neighborhood families with kids in costume and a media wolf pack. My favorite shot was of another little girl named Sasha (Sasha Salk, 10) who went out in the Obama's Chicago neighborhood dressed as Barack and pretended to take press questions. She looks like she's having the greatest Halloween of her life. Let's hope Barack gets the greatest day of his life (next to marrying Michelle and having the kiddies) come Wednesday.

Happy Halloween From Glitter and Chuckles!

"Glitter and Chuckles" are my new pet names for Honeymooners Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey. I've never seen two people take THIS many pictures of themselves in little outfits with cakes or cookies or theme park characters in costume. Everyday is picture day at Sears and Hazelwood Day at Six Flags Over Mid-America for these people.* Gotta love 'em.

*Inside joke: Back in the high school in the 90s every teen sweetheart couple went to Sears to have pictures taken together, often in matching outfits, which they then wore to "Hazelwood Day" aka "Six Flags Day" in St. Louis. I went to Hazelwood Central High School, the largest school in the Hazelwood district, one of the largest school districts in the state of Missouri. What I'm saying is, Nick and Mariah are totally high school, but that's OK. Mariah still doodles rainbows and butterflies on everything and is probably really into Lisa Frank.

Oh, and I like how Mariah is rocking the black man's cookies! Famous Amos!
