Keep your sexy pizza rats, your sexy Snow Whites, your sexy hashtags. The best Halloween costume ever belonged to this woman in 1930, who is clearly going as “a candleholder who’s sick of your goddamn bullshit.”

According to the caption, this photo is from 1930 and it is “The Hon Mrs Roland Cubitt dressed as ‘Three Candles’ in a costume made by L & H Nathan Ltd, for the Pageant Of The Superstitions, a feature of the ‘All Halloween Ball’, and repeated as a matinee at the Haymarket Theatre, London, in aid of the Queen Charlotte Maternity Hospital Maintenance Fund.” Apparently, Mrs. Cubitt was Camilla Parker Bowles’s grandmother. She seems like a great time.

The longer you look at it, the better this photo gets.
