Ooooo, Halloween! I love Halloween! But not the way it is today, with chainsaws and gore--I love the Halloween of my childhood, with charming little kids in adorable costumes. Luckily it's still there, alongside the gore!
Our neighborhood association has a big Halloween party every year. Last year I told everyone I was wearing a Muggle costume. I don't think I can get away with that this year, so I finally decided to go as myself, but a little exaggerated. I'm going to splash paint on my hands and shirt--maybe a streak on my cheek, too--and make a necklace of sponge brushes, use a paintbrush--oh, or maybe a couple colored pencils!--as a hairstick (to put up my hair in a bun), and go as an artist!
Big bonus: two shirts, warm jeans and comfy shoes, since the party is in the neighborhood park and it'll be cold.
The thing I do NOT want to do? Be a judge for the costume contest. Guess what I'm doing.... yep, judging the costume contest... oy... glad I don't have to do it alone!
