Halloween Costumes

abracanabraI 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).
The hand belongs to Mary Poppins. Taken at Laurie's "sexy" Halloween party.
Come to think of it, Mary was quite naughty....
