I love Halloween...

[amanuensis1]

You know what would be the coolest Halloween costume? You go as Janet from the "Tam Lin" ballad--since the key action takes place on Halloween--and you dress in a bodice-y gown but you dress pregnant and go carrying a stuffed dummy that's this sewn-together combo of lion/dragon/python/man, and make a point of not putting the dummy down all evening.

Damn, I'll never get that together by Monday.

OMG AMAZING. I now wish I hadn't promised to be the Dorothy in a Wizard of Oz group, because this costume sounds easier than finding a Dorothy dress at the last minute.

Oh, someone's got to have a Dorothy dress! Some costume shop must. Only problem is, you may end up spending premium for it, crud.

Well, I did manage to find one. It's just...short. Very short. Which is okay, except that I think all my pretty underwear is in the laundry.

Damn sexy grown-up halloween costumes.

On the bright side, my boring old black concert pumps are now covered with red glitter.

Harry would make a fabulous Dorothy. And Lucius could be Glinda, and Snape the wicked witch of the west, and I KNOW this has been done before, but I keep picturing Harry in these glittery red platform mary janes I saw yesterday, and it's AMAZING.

Glittery red pumps! Eee, doesn't everyone just long to own a pair of those?
