Our lovely intern, Cristina, not only dressed the dress & walked the walk for Halloween but she reported on the event… Here’s her story…

Today is Halloween! Boo & stuff!

At Green in BKLYN we celebrated in our own special way: handing out magic wish pennies to the trick-or-treaters of Brooklyn.  Though a few continued to insist on candy, everyone loved the idea, calling it “old school” & “good for the recession”.  As Elissa said, “The magic is alive in Clinton Hill!”

We caught the eyes of folks – me, dressed as Lady GaGa & Elissa, dressed very scarily as her very own mother (:/ yikes!).

There were literally hundreds of children on the streets of Clinton Hill hunting for goodies from every shopkeeper & dressed as little doctors, supermen, ghouls, bumblebees & so many many others who were very, very cute.

The neighborhood was alive and glowing with the excitement of the night & we were so very tired (especially me, in high heels!) at the end of the day.  It was a wonderful experience, watching little faces fill with delight & yell “Yessss, magic!” and “Cool!” after receiving their penny.

Oh, the innocence.  To them & the child in all of us… Happy Halloween!
