I've really gotten very bad at this whole blogging thing.
National Blog Posting Month starts Sunday. In an effort to return to my social networking roots, I WILL be participating.
But thank goodness it starts after all the Halloween madness.
baronmind and I are going out tonight to celebrate our 3rd anniversary (a day early on account of us both being huge geeks and not wanting to cancel our weekly D&D game). We're going out to Extreme Pizza for dinner and then to a comedy show featuring many of his CSZ friends. It's not a super fancy sort of celebration, but we almost never go out, just the two of us, and I'm really looking forward to it.
Tomorrow and Friday I'm off from work and I'll be cleaning, cleaning, baking, and cleaning in an effort to get ready for our annual Halloween party Friday night. Somewhere in there I should probably figure out what the hell I'm wearing to said party. Between theater, burlesque and my long-time infatuation with Halloween I have a number of options available and waiting patiently in my closet. The trouble is I like to do at least one new costume a year, and it's just not happening this year.
I had a Halloween themed show a couple of weeks ago, and my costume time/money/energy all went to it. Unfortunately, my costumes for it were not up to my regular Halloween standards--not because they were bad costumes, but because they were predictable, standard sort of Halloween costumes. I'm hesitant to show up at a Halloween party as the Bride of Frankenstein and I flat out refuse to go as a witch.
We attended a costume party last weekend, where I pulled out an old-but-gorgeous pair of monarch butterfly wings* and the black counter-part to the dress I'm wearing here (left). I love that dress, and it actually is one of the few things I own that I feel sexier in when I'm at my current size than I did when I was a few sizes smaller. It makes me feel like an old 1950s pin-up. I love it. I'm tempted to pull that out again since it is both a super sexy and super comfortable costume, but I feel a little weird wearing a costume twice in one Halloween season--particularly since I do have other costuming options.
We shall see, we shall see...
*I spent most of the evening actively not making Venture Brothers/Dr. Mrs. The Monarch references.
