Less than one week before i get to dress up, spend an entire weekend looking un-myself, and acting intoxicated and impish. what a grand holiday. I used to not like Halloween so much. I'm Halloween bi-polar. I like it when things fall into place. When I'm not sure what's going on and not sure about a costume, I just get annoyed. Last year I went out but didn't dress up...not this year though. I had a Halloween rebirth the other night at the party store. All of my costume woes melted as I looked at all the little do-dads and trinkets and fun props. oooh, fun stuff. I'm gonna be a fallen angel. No, not a short skirt, black winged, low cut top, fallen tramp...but a fallen angel. I happened upon this long shear getup at the thrift store and i'm gonna cut a couple holes in the back, paste tufts of white feathers around the edges, and dribble fake blood to make it look like my poor wings were torn off as i was tossed outta heaven. I'll make flowy arm thingies and wear all black underneath...plus wear a store bought black halo and black necklace with a little white jewel on it. I think i spent about $10 total on the ensemble. that's the fun of Halloween. I hope it turns out as good as it sounds. I have visions of myself sitting on the floor sometime this week with feathers glued to myself and shear material all torn up and un-wearable. I already put a runner in the black tights i bought. But i figure the tights should be torn up anyway. Can't fall that far without looking disheveled. So that's my project for the week. Finish the costume. oooh, ahhh!
Happy week before Halloween.

heh, kitchen munitions. very nice. Jake's going as Hunter S. Thompson. We had extreme luck at the thrift store this year...i found the perfect fallen angel piece, and he found the perfect HST hat, shirt, and crazy fisherman vest type thing. Even got him a cigaretter holder. Should be an interesting night!
