We got a bit sidetracked by Frankenbitch, as we weren't able to put out all our decor, and had to pull down what was up earlier in the week. So it all had to get done on the afternoon of Halloween. Joy.
The area by me is still pretty bad, though its all around us, yet hasn't affected us badly at all. If you follow me on FB, you'll see the comment my husband made about what I said after realising all those shingles in the yard were ours. (I still think looting so we can have supplies for the zombie apocalypse is a good idea, but then again, I'm obsessed.) The schools are still out, most have extensive roof and water damage, and one without power still. So I was lucky to have the Punk Glam Princess help me set the yard up a bit. We didn't go all out as there was still rain in the forecast and a lot of our stuff is electrical -- last thing we needed was for the house to go up in flames!
I usually can't decide what to dress as, since my mind races and I get all kinds of crazy ideas. So this year I dressed one way while setting up the yard and another for when the kids arrived. I did scare some little ones and felt so bad, but once they got treats (while clutching mum) they calmed down. Frankly looking in the mirror I thought I looked rather fetching! (Just a ghoul at heart.)
You got to see my "Halloween Non-Twee" Style post a few days ago when Frankenbitch was making me stir crazy. So go there to see those if you haven't already. And of course my anniversary post here. There are also "Spooky Halloween" 1, 2, and 3 posts, as well as Halloween Playlists 1 and 2 to give you inspiration for next year. Oh and don't forget the Zombie post!
These next photos were taken while trying to get the yard done. The day started out sunny, then turned dreary. We were frozen by the time we finished!

| I don't have "red eye", I'm wearing my ghostly green contacts. The damn dress is too big even for these menopausal breasts, I really should have stuffed them as I had to keep pulling it up! It's an original 50's dress, I believe handmade, and simply stunning. Wish I got a pic of the back there is this fab long bow that hangs down. |
 |
| Better look at the contacts and my busted nose. So pretty to have a nose that's been busted multiple times! |
 |
| Had to add the silver mink stole, strapless and freezing temps do not mix. |
 |
| Isn't the embroidery on the top to die for? I can't imagine taking the time to do all that by hand or even machine! |
 |
| This was actually the outfit that scared the little girl. I felt so bad, but then again Snow White should be used to the Evil Queen! |
This was my "real" costume. Bowie as zombie Halloween Jack.
 |
| This one sux but you get to see our floating, speaking skull! |
 |
| Closeup of Zombie Halloween Jack. I didn't have time to make a good flesh wound, boo! The older kids went ape, loved my "eye"! |
 |
| La Punk Glam Princess the demon. Yes, she went as herself. (Muahaha! So proud of my teen demon!) |
 |
| This is the skull thing without lights. |
 |
| And here it is all lit up! Its motion activated, so spooked some kids! |
It was an early night, the kids were home half an hour before we told them to be because they were exhausted. We didn't get many trick or treaters like usual which was odd. We expected the street two blocks over to bring their kids over to us where there was electricity. Its okay, we watched a zombie survival guide (SO lame, I should've written it!) and I had a few bottles of Newcastle Werewolf Blood Red Ale. Appropriate, no? Well it was our anniversary and we did need to celebrate! (And goodness knows after watching all the devastation, as well as friends and family losing everything during Frankenbitch, I NEEDED it!)
 |
| This was from last Saturday night in Brooklyn when we went to my old employees Halloween party. You can kind of see the good flesh wound (where I was bitten and turned) I miss my Bo )`: it was so good to see him again! |
 |
| Lame ass pic taken in car on the same night, trying to show my cheek flesh wound, didn't do too well did I? I think at that point I was sick of the frigging wig and took it off! |
A few last pics for fun...
For those of you who imbibe, here is a lovely selection of Halloween wines and ale for your perusal.
 |
| From left: "Pure Evil", "Evil", Newcastle "Werewolf Blood Red Ale" , "Werewolf" Wine, "Vampire Wine" |
 |
| Aw c'mon Newcastle Werewolves have no Bollocks? |
 |
| These are vintage bottles of Vampire wines. I used to cut this rock dudes hair and he would bring me Vampire wines. These are the last two (I guess I drank the rest, heehee!) Of course in the middle is our Mexican Dia de los Muertos (today) bride and groom, given to us from either a Mexican friend or someone who had just been on our very first anniversary. |
 |
| I believe this was a pic from Dante's Inferno. They stopped using them some time ago due to people getting pissed off. Wish I kept the empties! |
Okay, that's about all to report for this Halloween. I blew it with pics, Dan had a great costume for the party, but come Halloween was too tired to do it up right. To be honest, with the kids home all week, I may just wind up doing more spooky pics for the hell of it (ha the "hell" of it, getttit? Oh man, I need school to reopen!)
I hope you and yours had loads of fun this Halloween!
