I love Halloween. Doesn't everyone who's a kid at heart? My daughter sang the cutest song for me that she'd learned at school. The line I liked the best: Grab your sacks and atack the streets/Join in the travelling costume show. I like that concept... a travelling costume show.
I have been busily putting together four costumes this season. One I've already worn... it was a hit and the hostess of the party didn't recognize me when I walked in, despite that my face was not covered, except that I was wearing a hat ... a wonderful, red top hat. My second costume I will wear tonight. It is the one my daughter is most tired of... a witch. I am a witch always and for Halloween I actually dress up as one. I'm working a 'haunted house' with some friends tonight for the trick-or-treaters in their neighborhood. It will be fun, though I will miss getting to hand out candy in my own neighborhood. I am also pulling together a costume for my daughter to be the "Corpse Bride." I've made a blue-ish wig from yarn and found a white wedding costume dress. We'll add a flower wreath and a sheer blue veil and be done. She's so excited!
My last costume will be worn this weekend at Nattig, a Pagan festival. This will be worn in a New Orleans-style funeral procession, with another top hat and whitish clothing that I'm sewing on nearly nightly. I am so excited to be participating as a musician in this festival. Afterwards, I expect I will shower all the paint off and change again into something darker. No shortage of party opportunities these days. I love parties. ;-)
Peace out.
I wish for a safe and fun Halloween for all!
