This is Halloween
Happy Halloween! I took this picture when I arrived home from work today. That’s right, I’m blogging in real time. Oo-oooooh. I love wearing wigs to work–people get so excited! Especially this neon wig–it’s really a crowd pleaser. Seemed almost a waste to just wear it to work for a few hours, so I stopped at the store on the way home for trash bags, chocolate, and rawhide bones (balanced). Then of course the moment I got home the tights and wig and false eyelashes had to come off, because what am I doing on this fabulous grey and drizzly holiday? Taking my pets to the park, of course! I’ll put the wig back on later–we are expecting ONE trick or treater tonight, and just for him I bought a huge sack of Jolly Ranchers, because I hate Jolly Ranchers. PRO TIP: Always buy Halloween candy you hate, and avoid that whole binging-on-fun-size-candy-all-night issue. Unless of course, you’re into that. Then go for it, Eddie.
Josh’s practice make-up for today, two nights ago. He went back to “Display & Costume” and purchased some higher-quality white face paint, so this morning his make-up looked a lot better. I certainly admired Josh’s dedication this morning, waking up 2 hours early to paint his face. What a man!
I just wasn’t feeling the Day of the Dead make-up this year (for myself), mainly because it didn’t seem to go with my neon wig, and I really wanted to wear the neon wig. If I did DoD I’d want to do it up right, with a floral headdress and matching outfit. Like this! Gorgeous.
What a pathetic little Cub! I didn’t buy dog costumes this year. Actually, I’ve never bought dog costumes. The only dog costume I’ve ever wanted to buy is the tiny mailman riding the dog costume, but Maggie and Bear Cub don’t tolerate wigs and hats very well so I doubt they’d put up with that shit.
Speaking of dogs, do you like the dog hat Josh bought for me at the gas station? CLASS, BAY-BEE, I’VE GOT IT. It’s a children’s hat so I had to wedge it over my giant head, but worth it, huh?
Happy Halloween, blog-log-eroonies! This is the laziest I’ve been for Halloween in years–no party, no sewing of costumes (well, except the spider skirt), no over-the-top decorations. Just a bowl of Jolly Ranchers and a skeleton tee-shirt. Well, I might as well enjoy myself. I’m sure there’s at least one horror film on Netflix Instant I haven’t seen!
**sigh** That wig, tee and lashes are making me break out in an envious rash! As for Josh, he’s a bleedin’ hero he is! I did nothing for Halloween this year, but I’ve never watched so many fabulous horror movies marathon-style. Loving voodoo right now, loved The Skeleton Key, just watched Serpent and the Rainbow and on a different note, stayed up until 1am (Halloween) watching Dead Silence. Ya know, just to taunt any evil haters out there. Didn’t work. Closest was the wee possum scratching at the window, she took one look at me and scarpered. Damn acne breakouts! I should have gone trick or treating as myself – I would have scored bucket loads of shite. xx
Maw, thanks, sweetie dahling. I watched a lot of horror movies this past month as well, and the entire 2nd season of “American Horror Story”, which was quite disturbing. The 3rd season of that show, which just started, has a voodoo lady in it, played by the ageless Angela Bassett, you might check it out!
Oh yes, I wait for some norty person to upload AHS: Coven every week and I’m all over it like a rash!! Never missed an episode in all three seasons. I think this is the BEST season of all … I just cannot get enough of witches. Salem witches versus Marie Laveau’s voodoo is spine-tingling! I wonder who the next Supreme will be. I’ll bet it’s Zoe but she’s gotta harden the fuck up, stop being a sap and put her fuck-death powers to good use 😉 xoxoxoxoo
