Pumpkin with Sushi
Well, it is nearing Christmas and I have finally scanned my negatives that include my one and only Halloween photograph.
I asked this woman if I could photograph her, and she was glad to oblige – Halloween is good that way.
Privacy is both preserved and thrown out the window at the same time when wearing costumes in the street.
Not sure how she was going to eat the sushi. And while her hair may have been damp with pumpkin juices, it was well protected from the rain.

A rare opportunity grasped with an excellent result. Not sure what pumpkin juice smells like but I don’t really think I would have wanted my hair tainted by it!

Thanks Andy! I can imagine what pumpkin juice smells like and while I can think of worse things to have in my hair, I would avoid it too.
There is a bit of a pumpkin fetish in North America – many products flavoured with pumpkin at this time of the year. This week alone I have had both pumpkin cheesecake and pumpkin ale. And that was without trying.

This is a creepy shot – I am about the hyperventilate just thinking about sticking a pumpkin over my head!

Melinda, you must not have these in Texas. This is not a pumpkin stuck over some person’s head. This is a humanoid pumpkin – it is all one being. This looks like the office variety, but not just an everyday office variety which you can tell from the very well polished shoes, and the sushi. In my experience most pumpkinoids don’t condone sushi, and prefer wellies. And most of them, the ones out and about, seem to be male, and for some reason, named Jack. This one looked like it needed a break though, just look at those down-turned corners – reminds me of when I worked on a cube farm with constantly squashed morale.

Well, don’t I feel silly!
Based on your very detailed and informative response, I suppose we can assume that this Humaniod Pumpkin is named Jacqueline?
It’s still creepy as hell, either way.

Jacqueline sounds about right. More likely than Jillian.
