Halloween was a smashing success. I danced. I drank. I saw my friends. Fewer people recognized my costume than I had hoped, but genius is always under-appreciated. Besides, I was not alone. Devon failed to recognize Lily in her I Have Been Turned Evil By Tim Curry dress from Legend and it took me a moment to spy Matt's hammer tee-shirt and realize

I have wanted those octopus chandeliers for quite some time. They would look lovely in my dark little bunker. I have only one major crafts project on the horizon - the restoration of my vintage circus costume - so a chandelier may be next.

Tammy's stuff is gorgeous!! She's lovely, too :)

definitely! I'mve known tammy for a good 16 years now -- she showed me the trick to riding a Vespa to school on mountain roads while balancing a mason jar of hot coffee between your feet. She's awesome, and I am so happy she's doing so well with her art.

whose wedding dress I made? that's her :) She and Todd changed their last names to Stellanova when they got married.

you know after all the elle jay hype... i was excited to see this costume... but your attire at dinner was anti-climactic... i saw nary a blue ribbon.
tease!

I saved the fancy costume for the evening at DNA. I didn't have time to change before dinner.

I knew that I should know the Lilly costume, which is why she was the only contestant who I actually allowed near the mic. After two attempts at getting her to speak louder than a mouse whisper into the world's loudest and most sensitive microphone, and still being unable to hear a word she said, I had to give up.

Which is why you introduced her as, "Ladies and gentlemen: some goth girl."

Genius.

[baconmonkey]

no, I brought her up and said "and we have...", then stuck the mic in her face. she repeated her response twice. I couldn't hear at all what she said, and didn't want to spend a lot of time on anyone. I gave about 15 seconds per contestant and she got about 25 seconds. you can hear her in the webcast a bit, but I absolutely could not hear her either from the mic or directly from standing a foot from her.

I do need to use something other than "not gonna cut it" next year.

"...a goth girl, everybody!" Yep. You really nailed that one.
