Halloween!
Last night M and I went to Halloween stores to look for a costume for me--I'm being Sekhmet this year. After looking at horrible cheap yet dearly expensive Cleopatra costumes, I decided I could improvise well enough out of my own closet, with the addition of a few accessories. I put what I've got so far together last night and I like it much better than any of the pre-made costumes. Ha! I've got a white dress that will do fine as the base and an awful gold lamé dress I can cannibalize for bits and obviously I've got belts and jewelry galore. Also, my lion mask is covered in glitterdot! Mock it and I will unleash the wrath of Ra upon you! Not sure what I'm doing for footwear. I think Sekhmet would wear big Fluevog boots, don't you?
This is all for a party M is invited to on the 17th, but we don't have plans for actual Halloween weekend at this point. What are people generally doing, just going to Bloodfeast?
My parents gave me a pair of Skel-o-mingos for my birthday last month:
I would keep them out year round but I'm not sure how the upstairs people would feel about that. We'll put them out for Halloween evening for sure. If we stay put for another year and turn the back porch into a seating area, they can live out there.
