Lucia Silecchia on Dressing up with Virtue

"For better or worse, my childhood days were lived before the age of the digital camera. So, the stories of my early life are preserved in shelves full of photo albums. As is likely the case for many, Halloween photographs are plentiful.

"While Halloween had not yet morphed into the mega-holiday it is now, I took my Halloween costumes very seriously. There were the challenges of picking a character, brainstorming the costume that would bring that character to life, and then making that costume in a way that would somehow marry an imagination that was fairly good with crafting and sewing skills that were decidedly bad. . ."

In a recent commentary, writer/Professor Lucia A. Silecchia reflected on some of the reasons why one dresses up and on the opportunity to dress up with virtue.
