It's Halloweekend, and you know what that means! As Mean Girls prophesized, people will show their stuff in skimpy animal outfits all weekend long, just like the human race has for decades. I have never done a hot animal costume, but I sure have done some not-hot ones. When I was 6, I went as Arthur The Aardvark. I got a nice yellow sweater and everything to portray this iconic PBS character! Aardvarks are truly such an underrepresented animal in the media, and Arthur is really doing a lot of heavy lifting for the species.

My other childhood animal Halloween costume was the beloved cat Garfield. I wore wide, bright orange capri athletic pants, orange Crocs, and orange tie-dye tights. To top it all off, I used a Stouffer's lasagna box as a tote bag. I don't think I'll ever top that animal costume, but if I do, I hope it will be half as good as these animal memes.
