Seriously, Halloween is just over 100 days away. I have to plan accordingly.
Each year, the kids’ costumes get more intricate. Last year, Eldest dressed as a weird, foul character from Skyrim™, complete with live snake for a necklace. Little One chose another character, and her cloak had stuffed crows attached to it.
Not real crows, mind you. I may be crafty, but I have never learned taxidermy.
This year the girls want to do something more subtle. Eldest may or may not participate, due to upcoming commitments, but Little One has plans…. big plans. And they involve cherry syrup and scar makeup. No, I have no idea if it’s for her, or a victim friend. Sometimes that child makes me afraid.
As for myself, I was all set to make an elaborate Steampunk costume. Until I realized that I would be handing out candy to a lot of kids and their parents who would have no idea what the heck Steampunk is. But not to worry. I have an excellent plan in mind. One that will probably get parents to ban my house from trick-or-treating next year. I’m not divulging what it is, but here’s a hint.
Only it will be black and tan. So you get two hints. And no, I am not going as Vader Princess, much as I would love to.
Maybe next year 😉

Go with the steampunk! ALWAYS go with the steampunk, when there’s ever a question!!!

I will, but only for parties, and comic-cons 😀

Think of it as an opportunity to educate all of those poor, poor soccer-moms who are ignorant of the gloriousness that is steampunk! And added bonus: freak out the liberal busybodies with a large-bore Steampunk aether-magnetic particle accelerator rifle (with matching sidearm and spiffy goggles!)!!! That’s just got WIN all over!!!
(btw, that dress has me thinking “Wicked Witch of the West”…at least, the PG-13 voice in my head is gibbering that. The other voices…I can’t post what they’re saying. We’ll leave it at “cool!”)

The soccer moms and football dads that come around here think Sci Fi is just a Roger Corman tribute channel 😉
And I have been the WWW, several times, wart and all. Let’s just leave the voices alone, shall we?? HAHAHA!!!

Aw, c’mon! The Voices are FUN!!! Just think of them as the “Special Forces of the Dark Side”. Dark-Side Black Ops. Doesn’t get much darker than the voices inside my head. Except for one…he’s more a deep purple than “dark”. But he usually brings the beer, so the rest tolerate him

Everyone tolerates the Beer Bringer 😀

Black and tan? So… you’re going to dress as a drink made from a blend of pale ale and a dark beer?
😉

Someone is paying attention 😉

This isn’t going to involve a corset is it?
July 9th, 2013 at 10:15 AM
No more hints 😛
July 9th, 2013 at 5:33 PM
Corset? *perk*
July 9th, 2013 at 6:54 PM
psst….don’t believe her….demand photos!!! And not just any photo downloaded from a corset-selling website….said corset must contain certain Sithy. Or it didn’t happen.

I know where you live…. 😀

Ooooooooooo….a PERSONAL show?!? I fully support that!
July 12th, 2013 at 3:27 PM
“Only it will be black and tan.” You are going to dress up as an anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler in a tutu? You go girl! 😀

From your silence, I’m guessing I did not guess correctly. Or, maybe I did guess correctly, and you won’t admit it, so as not to ruin the surprise. Or … black and tan … you’re going as Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman?

You are incorrect on many levels. Especially that last one 😛
