With Halloween fast approaching, we're looking to treat our readers with photos of your best costumes. We're looking for keiki and adults in creative costumes, and we won't "boo" anyone's efforts. Send us your pictures and we'll share with readers.

E-mail pictures to zserrano@honoluluadvertiser.com, with "Halloween costume" in the subject line. Include name(s) and contact information of the person(s) in the photo and whom to credit for the shot. Submissions must be high-resolution jpeg, with a minimum 300 dpi. You also can snail-mail copies to Island Life/Halloween Costumes, The Honolulu Advertiser, 605 Kapi'olani Blvd., Honolulu, HI 96813. Photos will not be returned. Deadline for entries is Oct. 19.

SHAPE UP ON THE MOVE

The Shape Up column is moving to Thursdays as part of The Advertiser's bulked-up health and fitness coverage.

Charles Stuart Platkin's column will be in tomorrow's Island Life.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY NEEDS YOU ON OCT. 22
