Halloween

It would appear my goal for Halloween is a bit different from everyone else's...my goal is to be warm and comfortable, perhaps left over from the days of SUPER trick or treating where I would get more candy than anyone else because I wore rollerblades or super comfy shoes.

Ah, but I am all grown up now and living in the city...you know what THAT means. It means it's SEXY time! That means...it is basically impossible to acquire a costume that isn't "Slutty Alice in Wonderland" "Dominatrix Cleopatra" "Sexy Bo Peep" "Robin the the Hood" or the Princess Leia gold bikini costume. Of course, I could put together my own costume, but while plotting the costumes with friends you get things such as "Ondine" (the water nymph who seduces and drowns men) Salome, sexy fairy, or - "I might just wear a cowboy hat." WHAT? What happened to truly great costumes? I don't want to go as "Sexy Candy Corn" (aka - black leather skirt with yellow and orange bikini top and a black witches hat" - I want to go as something awesome. (For some reason this year that means I have my heart set on Arwen from Lord of the Rings, it would appear five years too late as none of the stores are currently carrying her costume so I either have to special order from Hong Kong or amazon, which may be in Hong Kong for all I know!

I feel there is so much pressure to have either an awesome costume or and awesomely "I don't care" costume. Oh Halloween! How I love you but how much trouble you cause at the same time!
