Ladies,
I’m curious who of you still dress up for Halloween. And for those of you who do, what will you be wearing this year? Can you pull off a costume without breaking TGAAD rules?
I’ve always thought Halloween dress-up was fantastic fun, but because I’m a stepmom to two teenage boys who’ve decided the tradition is “lame,” it’s easy to lose my early-October enthusiasm for a frightful night out by the 31st. For the past few years, I’ve decided at sundown that slipping on an orange t-shirt to pass out snickers bars is spirited enough.
But, this year, I think I might actually get my act together. The Highball Lounge (combination bowling alley/karaoke bar/dance floor/1950’s food/signature cocktails) just opened in our south Austin hood and they will be hosting a Zombie Prom. To gain entrance to this party, they insist you come zombified. No problem. I’m thinking one little black dress, a pair of slutty heels, zombie eye makeup and a dead rat corsage. Aside from the rat (which is an accessory, thank you very much), I won’t have to purchase anything new.
Curious what you all have planned…

Ooooh…. well I’m going as a “Widow maker” (whatever that is?). Black top hat with black veil on, Long Fitted Jacket and Long black skirt, heeled boots and Long Cane with a skull on the top!
Mwah ha ha ha ha…….
Promise you’ll post pix (both you and Rebecca!) of your costumes, and point out which are reused and which were your wee little updates…we could all use inspiration, I think. Both your outfits sound great.
(I feel like I really want to go as Balloon Boy, but then again most everyone else in America will be doing that too; it takes up WAY too much room; and I really would have to craft something (huge) from lots and lots of stuff–which I decided would bread TGAAD rules…)
