it's my favorite holiday for a reason!
What's the number one way to tell how big a geek your adorable boyfriend is?
When you agree to make him a Halloween costume completely from scratch, and he chooses...
the FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER!
That's him on the right, along with a friend of ours who came as a member of the "Fallopian Swim Team":
A close-up of the "hell-ass complicated to make" eye-stalks that turned out loads better than I expected:
(A friend posted a better one of the whole rig here--plus, S'MORES!)
According to the mythology he needed a pirate buddy, so a friend donated the use of her cat's catnip "pirate" toy (aka the only part of the whole thing that I didn't make) for the evening:
I came as a sassy little bat, courtesy of the instructions from this site (although I ended up making smaller, lighter ears for mine):
Any excuse to wear hot eyeliner is a good one, and it was fun "trapping" people with the wings all night. I took the wings off of the hoodie (so that I could use it for general wear), but left the ears on just in case I need to exact justice at work or lurk around in caves or anything. :)
