Halloween Costumes

I am not good at creating my own costumes. This year, instead of half-assing it, I decided to actually buy a costume for a change. I learned a few things in this process:
* It's damned hard to find a "girl" costume that has a skirt longer than roughly three inches.
* Target does carry costume adhesive, it just hides it next to the bras.
* Backless, strapless, self-adhesive, washable bras exist. And they "regenerate" their adhesive after being washed, which is just plain creepy.
* It will always take longer to put on a costume than I think it will.
* Wigs are difficult.
* Fake eyelashes are impossible. Don't even try.
* Foundling thinks pantyhose are a great toy to pounce upon.
* I can wear high heels again! But not all evening. But that's because my feet hurt, not my knee!

I like how it turned out, though. And other people had quite good costumes as well (though I stopped taking pictures at the second party, for reasons even I'm not sure of).

Aswiebe's Market List Update

Editor's Note
I hope everybody had a lovely Halloween! Maybe you even found some inspiration from the costumes you saw. I certainly did, though I'm not sure yet what kind of story a woman with deer hooves prodding a vegan is going to turn into. Inspiration comes from the strangest places.

I encourage you to link to this post or to Aswiebe's Market List on your blog.

Here's a Halloween treat, only a couple of days late!
