Rosie the Reaper

So the long awaited post has finally arrived.....

I know you've all been wondering impatiently what I'm going to be for Halloween, and I have settled on a choice!

I'm going to be.......

Rosie the Reaper!

(like the title says, yeah crazy right)

Some of you may be wondering what the hell a costume like that entails, and I can assure you it probably won't stray too far from what you're currently imagining. If you're a diligent reader of this blog you may know by now that I am quite the fan of Rosie the Riveter, from the World War 2 "We can do it!" poster. When it comes to people I idolize, well, let's just say my looks never really match theirs, therefore making it hard to dress as them. Rosie's the first that I can truly say I resemble, and I'm gonna continue to hold onto her tough-girl attitude for the rest of my days. Okay, back to the costume. When it comes to costumes I like things that are unique, clever, appealing to my interests, and with a touch of scary (it is All Hallows Eve, after all). Rosie the Reaper will be a cross of this:

You know, get the blue jumpsuit, the red headscarf. Then paint my face, carry a scythe, yadda yadda yadda. Dorky I know, but fun? Absolutely! So for this year, if you don't have a costume yet, consider doing something a little more clever. I guarantee you won't match anyone else at your Halloween parties!

I wear this bandana to school quite a bit. The other day my friend Molly, without having any prior knowledge, of my fandom or my Halloween costume intentions, said "You look like Rosie the Riveter!" So I simply had to take a picture.

Out.
