halloween '09 :)
so halloween came and went and i had a ton of fun getting all dressed up and going to parties. it's interesting because i think that seishino and i like/dislike halloween proportionately. so now he's happy it's over and while it was all going on i felt slightly guilty for being so giddy about it but not too much. there's enough in life not to feel giddy about. it was great to take a break and see bunches of friends and get to work on wearable creative projects for me.
friday night i wore the cutest little tutu style nurse dress and felt really silly because i'm a costumer and it was an off-the-rack dress and i'd worked at the club for years so it was one of the most overdone costumes i can think of. this is a testiment to how cute i thought it was. i still had to buy it and wear it. mr. seishino didn't seem to mind. ;>
saturday's costume was sort of a day of the dead/amy winehouse (the last part mostly because of the hair). it was inspired by this:
granted it was not quite that. drawing on one's own face is a heck of a lot harder and more time intensive than ever though. and symmetry is a bitch. ah well. any other year i'll help someone else who wants make up like that. i think that now that i've tired to draw it on myself, on someone else it'd be... well, easier. anyhow, i survived the party without leaving much of it behind in smudges. (apologies to the smudged if it was unwelcome.) i had a great time though and i think seishino and i have hit upon how to make both of us happy. we'll just have to throw a costume party or two not on The Day When People are EXPECTED to Dress Up.
