Halloween!
Ohmygod, costume time again.
I don't know what I'll be doing, but it hopefully will involve some sort of party as well as the general West Hollywood crazy insane Halloween parade.
I need HELP deciding on costumes!! I like that for Halloween, anything goes...but Ben won't be here, so crazy sexy doesn't really do me any good.
Rebecca and I found this costume, which is called "Gothic French Maid." We like it, and it's fairly inexpensive, at about $37. On the plus side, it's available at Target (at least online), so it's possible I can go to the store and look at it before buying and not pay shipping. It's an inexpensive costume, but the fabric doesn't look cheap... I already have fishnets, so I guess just that and heels, and I'm set. However, it's also "one size fits all," at least at the Target site, and I can't imagine that will actually fit me as nicely as it fits the model. Also, the dress is nice, but does it really look like a french maid? I can get it from Target, so I would guess it's returnable.
The next one is your basic pirate costume. I just think it's really cute for some reason. It's more expensive...$48, plus I'd probably get the hat for $18, and maybe the petticoat for $16 to make sure it looks right. I already have big black vinyl boots. Still, kind of a lot to spend on a costume when I'm not going to any particular party or anything...just maybe walking around for the parade...and the sexiness will be wasted, since Ben won't be around. Also, this is not returnable.
Final option is to borrow a Dorothy costume from my friend. She'd ship it to me, so I'd pay shipping costs, but that can't be more that $20. I'd need to buy the thigh highs ($10) and the red shoes (maybe $30), so really, it evens out. My friend is smaller than I am, but the dress is a medium, so it should fit, but it might be ridiculously short.
Or, I just discovered, I can wear my old plaid skirt from tennis with a white button-down blouse and black vinyl boots and be a schoolgirl. And that's for free!
Anyway....opinions? Vote now, comment lines are open!
