Oh, look!

White glove for the right hand, dyed red because I couldn't find red liquid latex: $4.99 (for a pair).
Small white feather wings: $11.99
Black suit: pants, $30.00; suit jacket, already owned.
Tiny black devil horns, with barrettes attached for easy clipping: $8.00

Having to spend an entire day/night/weekend explaining what I'm dressed as for Halloween: Priceless.

You'd think I enjoy this, from the amount of times I've wound up doing it (like last year's Queen of the Ringtailed Lemurs costume).

heh.

I'm not entirely thrilled with the glove dye job, as I couldn't get it quite as red as I wished. But, it'll suffice for tomorrow. I'm going to attempt to either track down liquid latex (I have a couple of ideas already) or buy a red satin glove. I had contemplated burning the wings a bit, maybe tattering them a little, but I'm afraid of 1. fucking the wings up and 2. burning down the apartment building.

NEVER AGAIN THE HALLOWEEN COSTUME BURNING TIMES!!

*snort*

Originally, I was planning on being Alice. Alice from Wonderland Alice, you know? But I, being me, procrastinated like a motherfuck about getting the actual dress part of the costume. Because of this, I know am the proud owner of a fluffy white petticoat and nothing else.

What in God's name am I going to do with a white petticoat?
Wait until next Halloween, I reckon.

Friday is dressing up for work day.
Saturday is the MWC's Halloween party.
Sunday is the Henri David ball in Philadelphia.

Wheee! In costume all weekend long!

(no subject)

Well, my wings broke this morning as I was attempting to get them on (over my suit jacket, I forgot to take that into account). So for right now, my costume is Upper Management (devil horns, black suit, white button down shirt, my necklace that says sinner).

Considering the things which have been dropped on me today at work, I'd say it's very apt.

More later.
