I am so late to the party with Jacques Brel, but my ears have been devoted to him lately

Ha, if I can pull it off, I'm definitely posting pictures.

That sounds like an amazing costume. I usually have plans to go really really elaborate but I usually fail on that front.

Oh, it'll be a miracle if I pull this off. I get all panicky and by Halloween, I usually just throw something together at the very last minute. And I don't think I'll be doing this for Halloween proper, as I've just learned I might be going to Santa Cruz for a parade and therefore need something a bit warmer.

He is so wonderful.

Haha, I think sometimes I'm too complicated for my own good. A few years ago, I thought I was hella clever, and wore this dress to a party a few days before Halloween, with 40s makeup and hair. On Halloween, I wore the same thing, but like, covered in blood, as if I had gone through a zombie epidemic since that party. I don't think anyone picked up on it.

If I could find/make an Edwardian dress by Halloween, I could hella pull it off.

It's the style of dress people wore on the Titanic:
