Halloween

Oct 26, 2008 22:04

As part of my boycott of frost bite I've boycotted Slutoween. I'm sure none of us wanted to see me in slutoween anyway, but as I've been seeing bigger girls than me in less clothes than I'll ever wear, I just wanted you all to know that I am classy, thank you verry much. Verry klassy ladee.

But I love dressing up! I love themes and dress ups and all that jazz, it prob stems from all the theatre I did. Thats a lie, I hated my costumes in theatre, but I love my halloween costumes.

So this is my rundown. I need to share with you the awesome costumes I've made and will make for all the parties I've gone to and will be going to.

Last Weekend:

I was a lobster. I have a cute knee length red dress and I wore that with a pair of black pants (because it's cold. No bare legs) and I made lobster claws out of paper plates with red construction paper, glitter glue, crayons and duct tape. They spent most of the night on my patio table because I spent most of the night smoking and didn't want to light them on fire.

And you know how lobsters have like feeler antenna things? That was a case of worry for me, how could I do that? My mom bought me a pack of 50 multi colored pipe cleaners from the dollar store ($1!!!) so I tied two red ones to a head band and bent them appealingly. It was amazing. I am awesome. So the lobster was adorable. I wore my hair up in a pony tail just because I didn't feel like showering.

Yesterday:

I was a deer. I bought a pair of dark brown jammies from Target (that I'll wear a hundred times after this, seriously) and used six of my pipe cleaners and the same head band. There weren't any brown but I used yellow, orange and black and braided, twisted, and molded those suckers into some fucking awesome antlers. But those weren't the key of the outfit.

I put my hair up in two high pigtails but I didn't pull them all the way through so it was like the doubled over pony tail and they totes looked like ears. Amazing, seriously. And then I made a (perfect) circle out of eyeliner on the tip of my nose (it was perfect size and shape, I got lucky) and colored it in. I was the cutest deer at the party.

Next Saturday:

I'm going to be a praying mantis. I want to use as many of these fucking pipe cleaners as possible if you haven't noticed. So I'll be using green ones and my regular headband and then I have a kelly green dress thats adorable and I'm wearing that with a green half sweater (the neckline of the dress is pretty low but has a bunch of detail so I couldn't wear anything too necky for warmth) and I need to get green knee socks to wear on my lower arms and hands (and so the heel part is on my upper wrist and I can do that weird praying thing with my hands).

I'm going to tease the shit out of my hair and I'll probably end up wearing black pants under that because I'll be wandering state street all night (spoiler alert, I'm going to madison) and it'll be cold. This is def going to be my sexiest look (even though almost all my body will be covered).

Next Sunday:

I'm going to be a Teddy Bear! I'll be using the hair-ear trick and the brown jammies again and I'll tie a big red bow around my neck. Simple and perfect for the hung over.
