The Champagne of Costumes.

On several occasions this week, Miller High Life showed up. An afternoon beer here, a couple over a conversation there. It’s cheap. It’s good. It’s nostalgic: It was introduced in 1903. It’s one of the beers I remember my dad drinking when I was a kid. It’s oddly fancy: golden color, gold foil label, and the tagline? Classic.
This spike in High Life, along with talking about upcoming Halloween, reminds me of one of my dream costumes: The High Life Girl in the Moon on the bottle. Other gals have pulled it off: here. here. and here. I’d love to pull this Annie Oakley-esque commercial American icon off, too.
Someday I’ll have a big enough Halloween occasion to put it together. I don’t need much of an occasion to have a few High Lifes, though. It is the Champagne of Beers, after all.
Great post and GREAT halloween costume idea! I love me some High Life
