Halloween spooks!
Okay, so another year has come and gone. Unfortunately, though we decorated outside (a source of much pride as we received LOTS of very nice compliments last night) we didn't do much inside like we have other years (clicky on the 'Halloween' tag to see for yourselves!) and Ann was feeling kind of yucky from her pain killers and had been dressed up for work this year anyways so she just wanted to relax. But you know I couldn't go a year without dressing up!
This started out as a disco zombie (we dubbed it Panic! At the Disco, Disco of the Dead, The death of Disco, etc.) but we were getting really little kids and I wanted to do something fun. So I'm kind of a wacky disco alien! With my hair down and the sunglasses on, by the way, I totally looked like a Barbie from mine and my sister's generation!
We come in peace, man!
Believe it or not, that is not actually a costume but something I found for cheap at an antiques mall. Seriously, it's the real deal, and it was made really nicely despite being very obviously polyester! It had pockets and this nice chiffon lining...
The big wacky rings I'm wearing I got off of the birthday cupcakes my brother bought me!
Oh, yeah! Get down with your bad self!
Without the flash. A little blurry but I think you get a better feel of what I looked like in person!
And of course the Buzzy Bee dressed up with me as usual! I took her walking like that and we inspired hoots of laughter from passing trick-or-treaters! XD
And Basho had to make an appearance in this one, which is okay because he's silly without a costume! Ha!
And so endeth Halloween and the Holiday season begins. I'll start taking the decorations down today, which will make me sad, but I have our Christmas lights to look forward to! Decorations, you have served me well! One guy who hardly spoke English pointed to them, gave me the thumbs up and told me, "Best in whole development!"
The most flattering, though, was my little friend Jack; I see him when he's walking his doggie Dewey and I'm out walking Pebbles, and he likes to talk to me. When I answered the door, he was so surprised it was me who lived here and his mom told me that they'd saved our house for last because of our awesome decorations! My sister and I feel like maybe we should get free rent for a month for this (the first year we lived here they had a costume contest for free rent; we didn't win but no one's ever liked a costume as much as they've liked our decorations!) But we're just happy that the kids liked 'em so much!
Peace, ya dig it? Ghani
