Halloween Goodness!

Why is it *always* the last minute with this holiday? *grin*

Even when I plan in advance I end up having to make modifications based on inspiration that strike around five minutes before I have to head out the door. At least this year I have a few hours to make the final adjustments.

Halloween Night
Zombie Hunter Grrrl Costume:

1) Big Stompy Boots? CHECK
2) Black BDU Capris? CHECK
3) Black Fingerless Gloves & Arm Warmers? CHECK
4) Black T? CHECK 
5) Cropped Army Jacket? CHECK
6) Gun/Shotgun? CHECK *they're fakies...relax!*

Now I just need to make the necessary mods/additions to the jacket, see if I can find a little 'Fidel Castro' cap at Target in the right color of green, see if the gaiters from my WWII garb work over the boots and get all this on and my happy ass over to T's place in time to decorate the club for tonight! *whew*

Saturday Night, the Leaky Cauldron in Oakland
Death Eater Costume:

1) Robes? CHECK
2) Corset? CHECK
3) Shoes? CHECK
4) Mask? CHECK
4) Wand? CHECK

Need to finish painting the wand (hubby working on this today I hope), put the ties back on the mask, whip up a cowl from the left over fabric and then sew all of hubby's 'Dumbledore's Army' patches to his alpenflage gear. 

OK - maybe this isn't as overwhelming as I thought it was...*chuckle*

Happy Halloween everyone!

We had a blast, spent Halloween hanging out and decorating/partying/cleaning up with fellow DJ's. This last Saturday was the party at Jessica's house in Oakland with Tonda and Scotty - always fun hanging out with them. Then spent Sunday toodling around Berkeley buying books....*lovely*

Hope your spooky season was grand too!
