Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween!
As you know, Halloween is among my favorite occasions, and when my schedule allows, I always love to decorate the front entrance to my farm in preparation for all the children that go trick or treating on All Hallows' Eve. I also try to attend several Halloween parties, and dress up in fun, interesting and oftentimes scary costumes. Unfortunately, this year my calendar is very busy - I’ve been traveling, doing magazine shoots and interviews, and attending many business meetings and dinners. This Halloween, I decided to share some of the wonderful costumes I’ve worn over the last several years - for events, television specials and for our magazine. I hope you enjoy them.
Have a spooky, enjoyable and very safe Halloween.

- Here, Jimmy Fallon and I enjoyed slurping Eggs of Newt together for season 5 of “The Martha Stewart Show”! I am dressed as a “Wild Thing” in honor of the book, “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak.

- You know who I am here – Marilyn Monroe.
- And if you watch my show, “Martha and Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party”, you likely recognize this from last week’s episode where I dressed as a zombie. My TV show airs on Mondays at 10/9c on VH1.
- And this was my most recent costume – one of Roy Lichtenstein’s iconic “comic book women” – read about it in my column, “From Martha” in the October issue of “Living”. I wore a platinum-blond wig and outlined a plain white shirt with black stripes, and used red half-gloves. It was so much fun! Happy Halloween!
