Well its THAT time of year again! Inhibitions out the window, & silly costumes all over the uni!
OR SO I THOUGHT!
Our class, (CLD) had agreed to turn up in fancy dress today, so I thought, Ok, I’ll just go for it! I had intended to go as Morticia, but my dress was too big, & felt uncomfortable, so it was out with the sewing machine, & I became the Bride of Dracula!!

After class, we headed for the Stutents’ Union, as you do………..
The Vampire’s mistress came too!

And Captain Jack!

Who cuddled a cat!

Buzz Lightyear put in an appearance

And Coco, & The Witch! (Brilliant! She shoulda won on her own, & she travelled in & home by train like that!!)

Buzz posing on the table (we were sober, honest, we went there for lunch!!)

Jack, Ninja, Rambo & Cat!

Rambo got a little confused though!

Just lounging around,

& by 2pm we were all back to “normal” & headed off! But WE enjoyed it, even if we were the only ones in the whole university who did it!! LOL!

Our town goes Silly with it here..I have not done anything this year but hang up my ghost lights so they can be seen outside from inside...put my little decorations out here and there...but not dressing up..I did it every year at my store to hand out candy to the town children and after that there is the whole town that always has a party pretty much...but I am not a party sort so stay home for that...tried it around 20 years ago and that was enough!..lol..but it goes wild downtown...the whole place is crawling with goblins of every sort...I've never seen anything like it anywhere else..lol...Good job on your costume Marie..you are not scary enough..gorgeous..actually...!

Lol! Thanks GoYs! I'm NOT usually brave enough, but I thought, what the h***! I DID revert back before coming back home though, cos the rest (bar the Witch) did too!

I went to a halloween ball when I was a teenager and dyed my hair green with food colouring, I was asured it would wash out , but you've guessed no it didn't, and i had to have it cut out I finished up with the shortest hair cut i've ever had.It didn't do a thing for my street cred. Lol.Loved your wig though and your costume.
Happy Halloween.

31 Oct, 2009

 

Lol! I did that too! It was h*** getting it off my skin too! I just redyed my hair tho, didnt cut it off!

~ When I was in my teens I fancied a deep auburn colour and my hairdresser made a fantastic job~ it was lovely! My parents threw a wobbly and I had to go back and try to get the colour reversed.~needless to say it turned out with a green tinge and took ages to grow out!

31 Oct, 2009
