I hear you, kelly.

Mrs. Lovett is a great idea!

We were looking at costumes again today for the kids. My youngest wants to be Indiana Jones. He and my sister were looking at Indy costumes online. She says to him, "Mommy can sew you that entire outfit and make it even better. You'll just need to buy a fedora and a gun... Hey, Lori, you better buy a kid's fedora now before they sell out."

Great. :-)

I want one of my kids to be Alien Abduction/Encounter. They say they don't want to. I'm going to make them, dammit. I'll force them! You'll be Alien Abduction and you'll like it!

OMG, Lori, that Alien Abduction is the coolest costume I've ever seen. If I was handy, I'd try to make an adult version of that.

I'm buying myself a handy "slutty costume in a bag". I've thrown something clever and witty together using what I have for the past few years, but I'm tired of blank looks.

I'm always completely ass at pulling together costumes. I've just given up. (I don't really get out anyways, so it doesn't matter in the long run.)

Abduct other random children and take pictures!
It's too good not not be done for at least a picture.

i've been giving it a bare scrape of attention lately, shocked at some already halloweenied houses.

Once i saw this tiny chihuahua dressed in an intricate matador outfit coordinating with the owner as a bull. i'd like to think of something like that, since the Bees is so awfully good at the wearing of stuff. i looked at a cheap pair of puffy horns and crown at the pet store. Cute but not great.

Also i was thinking of Guy Fox (a weird fox spirit outfit with V cape and moustache, don't ask). V for Vendetta's been on a lot.

i really want to have fun this October and i'm willing to work for it.
i need a damn plan.

Ethylene, isn't it "Guy Fawkes"?

I don't have a clue where I'll wear this, but I'm going to be be Sarah Palin. I've been often told I look like Tina Fey, so it'll be simple -- I have the hair and glasses and just need a thrift-store suit and heels.

I've also been toying with an evil twist like a blood-soaked skirt and bloody baby doll for "abortion Sarah Palin" but it depends on the company I'll be in...

That's the joke, loiseau.
i doubt i'd do it.
i am uninspired.

i think there will me many Palins out.
It's this year's Amy Winehouse.

We were throwing around the idea the other day of being Zombie Carrie Bradshaw and Zombie Mr. Big.

Mr Big was supposed to be a zombie in the original Bond flick...
