The Girl Scouts... Struck by Lightning

Go hard or go home.

This is the motto used by roommates Sarah Price and Sarah Logar, who really understand the importance of a great Halloween costume.  These best friends have taken a traditional Halloween costume and put their own unique spin on it.  Along with their two other friends, they are being girl scouts who were struck by lighting at a troop camp out.  

"I was a girl scout struck by lightening when I was a senior in high school with my guy friend," Logar said.  "We won first place at my high school Halloween party, so I figured to be it again this year."

They needed an original costume idea that would outdo their previous mall-walker costumes that they were both very found of.  

The preparation for this costume has been going on since last summer.  Price's grandma has been working for months making their girl scout uniforms.  She handmade the hats, shirts, sashes with the patches and socks, which they received this week.

A girl scout troop would not be complete without its official troop leaders.  Price's parents are coming down on Halloween and will be decked out in troop leader uniforms complements of her grandma.  

The part of the costume that her grandma does not know about is the fact that they are going to burn the costumes to make them look like they have been struck by lightning.  

"My mom and dad are not burning their costumes because they think it is stupid," Price said. "My grandma doesn't know that we are burning them, so that is why we are taking pictures and sending them to her before the burning."

The next step in the process is roughing up the uniforms, which will be taking place on Friday so they are ready to go on Saturday.  With this goofy group, it is safe to say that this will be a entertaining experience with a ton of laughs.

I've heard good stories about Halloween and some of the costumes - including a naked man with just a "hot dog" bun covering his privates.

Lots of pictures please!

I agree with Sarah. PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES! This is a blog where pictures will drive it. And maybe links to past costumes? I think Athens News keeps an archive or a slideshow or something.

I agree with the previous comments and I think doing some sort of slideshow would be great. There were definitely some very unique costumes this year and it would be great to see them within your blog.
