Costume-y Goodness

Just in case you were curious, here are my contributions to this year's Halloween Collection of People in Crazy Outfits.


Wednesday I helped out at a friend's elementary school dressed as Professor Trelawney, and then Thursday night I reprised the costume for a performance of "Thriller" in SLC. By Friday, though, I just couldn't handle ratting out my hair like that anymore, so instead...

... I painted a sweatshirt (freehand lettering! Nice, huh?) and poured on the rhinestones (by midnight I had taken off the headband, the necklace, and about three of the bracelets) in honor of the fashionistas at http://www.gofugyourself.com/ (FUNNY STUFF. Terrible pun. Sorry about that.) The picture is at a midnight showing of an experimental theatre piece based on the old German horror film, Nosferatu. It was pretty darn cool.

No, these are not injuries I received on Halloween - I had a blind date on Saturday, and he agreed to dress up for a performance of an old-fashioned style "radio show", based on Frankenstein. It was also pretty cool. No one else was in costume, though, not even the performers. I'm totally lucky the dear boy was such a good sport! (And my grotesque drawn-on sutures probably made people think he wasn't a very good surgeon. Oops!) If we go out again, the theme will be "Mini-Golf" - no costumes required.
