COMMENTARY
Halloween means adult dress up time
ST. LOUIS — It might be the only night you will see teen heart-throb Jinibie Bieber and Snooki of "Jersey Shore" out on a date — or at least a guy with side-swept bangs and a girl with a sculpted pouf who look a lot like them.
Halloween makes it acceptable to be outrageous. It's the one time of year when being the most outlandish, grotesque, risque, macabre or wacky person in the room is perfectly acceptable. And it's one of the few times adults get to indulge in make-believe.
Normally, there are so many fashion options that people feel overloaded with choices.Rather than experiment and dress with abandon.it's much more typical for the general public to settle into a conservative niche and
blend into the crowd.
But on Halloween, we have license to throw caution, care and sanity to the wind.
The guy in the office known for pleated chinos, brown belts, colored Polo shirts and loafers can be a mighty gladiator. The woman who lives in shirt dresses and low-heeled pumps can be a saucy witch.
Let's not spend too much time considering the psychology of costumes. It would only spoil the fun.
The only limits are your imagination. Ready-made costumes will save you from hunting or crafting. The options are endless, so we decided to offer up some examples to help rev up your imagination.
— KIDS AGAIN
What better way to have fun than to drift back in time to the period when you didn't have to be on a reality television show to
get away with a shameless public temper tantrum.
— FLY BOY AND HIS '40S GIRL How romantic? He has returned from war, and she's a ray of sunshine waiting for him in a goldenrod dress.
STEAM PUNKS
This is an anachronistic mash-up of Victorian-era garb blended with the Industrial Age and a little punk styling swirled in. Think corsets, ruffled blouses, bowler hats, monocles, steam engine goggles, brass chains and combat boots.
Pick this genre, and you'll have a lot of freedom. This type of outfit doesn't come packaged in a bag, so you'll have to play around to find the look that's right for you.
And remember that you might already own some items that can fit into this style if you add the right accessories.

Social Drinkers Needed for Clinical Study
This study has 4 separate, two night clinical stays and one follow-up visit. Qualified volunteers could receive up to $1,900.
"People may wonder, 'Why do you need to heat and cool a tomb2?" said David Blanchette, a spokesman for the state Capital Development Board, which authorized the project.

- Willing to consume alcohol while on study.
- Light smokers are allowed on this study.

Located just East of Metcalf on 115th Overland Park, KS
Scheduled to start in late October and be completed by late spring, the $376,000 project will replace an outdated system with one that relies on geothermal technology.
The new system will bury a looplike network of pipes and wells as far as 300 feet underground. Taking advantage of the constant underground temperature, the system will draw heat into the tomb's interior in winter while cooling it in summer. It's expected to help protect the tomb's historic finishes.
Because the network will be located beneath the lawn in front of the tomb, the vault containing Lincoln's body won't be disturbed, Blanchette said.
Once the project is done, the lawn will appear as it does now, he said. "No one will know that there's anything undermeath."
State officials are touting the geothermal system as the first of its kind at a state historic site.
