I know it’s a bit early to be thinking about Hallowe’en costumes, but being on the petite side, I need to shop early for the best fit. Last year I pieced together my school-girl-punk-rocker get-up. This year I want to go goth, be a swashbuckling pirate (Arr!), or Malice in Wonderland.

Be patriotic and proud in the Ms. Liberty outfit, deck yourself up in a cheeky Home Wrecker apron, shoot ‘em up when you don the Gun Slinging Gal costume, and dare to take the law into your own hands as a Corrections Officer.

National One-Hit Wonder Day - Oh, one-hit wonders. The artists whose (one) song dominated the charts before they disappeared forever. For nostalgia’s sake, let’s take a look at some key single hitters:

• Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance
• Deee-Lite - Groove is in the Heart
• The Archies - Sugar, Sugar
• Vanilla Ice - Ice, Ice baby
• The Kingsmen - Louie, Louie
• Chumbawamba - Tubthumping

The worst part about one-hit wonders is not being able to find any memorabilia for the artists. Except for when you visit Wolfgang’s Vault. This site has tons of vintage band merchandise, including Devo t-shirts, so you can whip it. Whip it good. Use FabulousSavings coupons to get an exclusive 10% off your order. Everybody was kung-fu fighting over this deal… KIAI!

National Food Service Workers Day - If you’re eating out today, make sure you’re extra nice to your server. How can you not respect someone who can effortlessly carry 8 glasses, 4 plates and 2 side dishes at the same time? I know I’d spill that stuff everywhere. Anyway, be polite, tip well and you’ll probably make his or her day. Or don’t… but we can only imagine what might happen in the dark corners of some kitchens when customers aren’t nice… dun dun dun.

Other September 25 Holidays -

• World Maritime Day
• Origin of Life Day
