BOO!

Stars and Moons Top: thrifted, Scarf: gift, Necklaces: Minnesota Rennaisance Festival, Cockroach ring: Halloween cupcake, Jeggings: H&M, Gladiator shoes: ICING

Basically, I was a lucky little bee-atch, and I got the day after Halloween off for parent teacher conferences. THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN! It was just a random Tuesday. Not a monday, not a friday, but a fucking Tuesday and whaddya know? I get to spend All Hallow's Eve with the four best ladies I know. So cool. Anywho, this is what I wore to school on the day of Halloween. My local Value Village has the single greatest Halloween selections I've ever seen from a store in my life, and while I was browsing the racks for my Rosie the Riveter jumpsuit, I happened upon this much-too-large amazing blouse and absolutely had to purchase it (there was also a gold button-up Optimus Prime shirt, but it was much too small. Sad.) Pair it with my sparkly Forever 21 scarf, a glittery cockroach ring from a cheap Halloween cupcake, my Wiccan pendants, and the gladiator sandals I got on sale for six dollars, and I was all set to spook the living cows out of my peers.

On another note, my cast party on Friday night was a costume party, and since I hadn't made it over to the thrift store to pick up my real Halloween costume, I had to do a little improv with the contents of my own closet. My friend Raymond was trying on some of my clothes and he put on this long black wig that was supposed to be for a Native American girl costume, but I bought a few years back so I could dress up as a geisha in a United Nations costume contest for school (which I won, by the way. 15 dollars to Best Buy. Fashion pays, I tell ya). Anywho, we put him in a black dress, oversized sunglasses, and put a big bump in the wig and called him Snooki. He got self-conscious though, so I changed the bump to a half-beehive, put on some cat-eye eyeliner, wore Maddie's fake tattoo sleeve and VOILA! I was Amy Winehouse. Here are some crappy photobooth pictures that I took at 1 in the morning when I got home:

That's all I'll do for now. I'll post pictures of my "Rosie the Reaper" costume that I wore for actual Halloween and hopefully get a few shots of me in my hooker outfit for The Adding Machine up as well. Oh yeah, one more thing, being the horror movie freak that I am, I saw Paranormal Activity 3 today

OOOOOHHHH

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.

You want more fans, I want more stage

This song is called "Anyone Else But You" by the Moldy Peaches

It's become somewhat of an anthem for me and Sam's relationship

These McQueen shoes have a steampunk feel to them. Steampunk fashions:

And now for some inspiration

I adore the sound of bagpipes, especially when they play Amazing Grace

That guy up there is actually me. In a past life.

Had this for dinner tonight, and it never fails to inspire creativity

I read about this t-shirt online and how JCPenney had to remove it from their girls line after they got complaints about its message. That makes me happy.

The world just got a little more feminist :)



Or maybe just a little more geeky.

(speaking of feminism, I went out for a drive today for the first time after getting my permit on Tuesday and anyone who saw me would agree that I'm living proof of the long-debated fact: women are better drivers than men)

Out.
