Frockin' Up

Actually, reflecting on it, it would have been smart to paint our nails on Friday night. Not only would they have been done, but we could have flashed them during Big Time. ha!

So, for me it was my first foray into both nail polish and eye makeup. Given that I grew up on Hollywood glam rock, it's mildly surprising that I've never worn any sort of makeup before the age of 33. [lol] Being so pressed for time, and having had not given it a trial run, the eye makeup thing was a little daunting.

Photobox ImageI started out looking like a bad Alice Cooper. And then started to look like Tim Minchin, which was admittedly and improvement on the situation. [smile] Both looks were freaking my the fuck out though. As was the nail polish actually. It was cool, but really bizarre to look in the mirror and not see what you expect. While it was kinda cool, neither of us was sure it was working. I was pretty confident that I needed to suit up to get a feel for if it was working or not. Thankfully it all started to come together once I did, and not a moment too soon given that time was ticking down!

Katie's costume came together relatively easier. She had the same makeup experience as I did though, we weren't sure until she suited up. But then it was all good.

So much for getting out the door at 8:30 as planned, at 9 we decided I didn't need a second coat of nail polish. It was photos, and then out the door.

Thanks Stew! We really thought they rocked. Just to freak you out, it's Tuesday night, and I've still got the black nail polish on. [smile]

As for the Golden Girls, I think I'll leave that to the professionals - ie: Strange Young Things. We were talking to Adam after the show and he said he doesn't know how they'll top this year's costumes. They did a halloween show in the underwear a few years ago, so I don't know either. Katie suggested they should dress as the Golden Girls in their underwear next year. I don't know, that just sounds scary! [smile]

We had a great Halloween. No trick or treaters though. It's a shame you couldn't bring Milly and Allisa around! Kinda a long way to fly for candy though. [wink]
