Happy Halloween (Costume Reveal)
Hi everyone,
Happy Halloween to you all. I haven't been as active lately due to working a lot. I still found time to do not one, but TWO costumes for this year. Not that I can wear them anywhere :/. No theatre=no Halloween party. Anyway, here are this year's creations.
First, we have The Bride of Frankenstein. I made my dress and cape from fabric remnants from Wal-Mart and creepy cloth/fabric for my gloves/sleeves/bandages. The wig was from Amazon. I wanted something that was classic, but a little different for it. You can't see them but I am wearing white tights under the dress, and these GORGEOUS Victorian white/cream lace up boots I found online (most expensive part of the whole ensemble). This one was really easy to do, yet it's gotten such an amazing response. :) Make up was really easy to do, too. Just pack it on and away you go. I have metallic lightning bolt earrings somewhere that I bought for this, but am unsure of where they are.
Next, we have Mary Sanderson from one of my favorite movies of all time: Hocus Pocus. I found the costume at Wal-Mart. I added the pockets on the apron and some scrap fabric to the back for her cape attached to her dress (different than the hooded one she and her sisters wear when they fly). Wig was from online, gloves were from Wal-Mart, and jewelry (both earrings and necklace) were from Etsy. I have witchy shoes I fashioned from my old reliable pair of heels (craft foam and witch shoe covers) and black and white stockings underneath. I have her hooded cape from Spirit Halloween, but she looks good without it, too. No make up in this photo, but maybe later on. "Winnie, I smell children!!!" All I need is a vintage bagged upright vacuum. "Broom ho!!!!"
You all decide which one was the best ;). Much love and hugs from afar (or not so afar, depends on where you're located). Stay safe, have fun, and get spooky.

OT: Happy Halloween (Costume Pictures)!!!!!
Comments (16)Oh Man, Halloween is my absolute favorite. DH scared more adults than he did kids! LOL He put on a Ghillie suit and sat around in the yard. One young one squealed, jumped up did a 180 and ran to his parent. Both DH and the parent laughed over that one. Haha! I so love Halloween! The only time of the year we can legally scare the crap out of everyone! =D DD's boyfriend put on the ghillie suit, sat out beside the spirea at the end of the driveway, a couple of female parents with a group of youngsters wandered up to get candy from me. I handed out candy, walked part way out the door to watch the group walk down the drive. Dustin leaned out from the spirea and boo'ed them. Haha! Poor little boy lept about 4 ft to the side, screaming grabbed his momma's leg. His mom laughed so much! Oh Lordy I had so much fun! =D I R Evil! Next year, DH and DD's boyfriend will be deployed to out of country locations, so my middle son will wear the ghillie suit. I'll have more decorations in my yard. This year, we didn't have corn stalks or pumpkins out like normal. I didn't get to grow any this year, corn did poorly. I'll get photos next Halloween! Hope everyone had a spooktacular Halloween! =) ~Tina...See MorePost the best food and costumes you saw on Halloween!
Comments (23)I know that it was a very happy birthday indeed! I can only echo all of the comments posted before. She's a beauty and there's such a strong resemblance!...See MoreMy ghoulish Halloween costume ...
Comments (6)LOL! Oh, Terriks! ;-) When I was at the costume shop buying ghoulish makeup, the woman working behind the counter was suggesting what to use, and she told me to be sure not to over-apply. "You don't want to look clown-like", she said. "Even a zombie-fied Diana would still look fabulous." I tried to keep that in mind. ;-D...See MoreOT: Halloween Costume Pictures
Comments (10)Thank you, everyone! booberry, LOL my one gram always said that I always had feminine looking legs, so I lucked out with loving having to dress up in drag for Halloween lol. Annie, glad I brought back some memories for you. Cyndi Lauper is one of my all time favorite singers/entertainers. When I walked in to the theatre, I was greeted by most of the partygoers with smiles, laughs and lots of "wows". I did forget to wear the earrings and one other necklace for the big night, but I'm still happy with the way it turned out :). I made the necklaces out of "pop beads". Brad AKA Moonwolf...See More

3 years agoI found out that the rings on her corset are for holding ingredients (dried herbs, dead rodents, you get the picture). Mary's what one would call a "kitchen witch" as she's always preparing foods or gathering ingredients for Winifred's potions. Her hairstyle is not supposed to be a witch's hat, but rather, it was inspired buy a curled pumpkin stem ;). I love all three sisters, but Winifred/Winnie (whom I went as a couple years ago if you recall) is my favorite. "Shish-ka-baby" is one of my favorite quotes of hers.
If you want to humble yourself, work as a server in a restaurant or work with the public. You're often treated like dirt, only rarely being shown compassion or praise. I think for work, since we can't do a full costume, I'll either don a wig or wear one of those witch hats on a headband (probably the witch hat-since a witch is always my go-to classic costume). Of course, Mary or the Bride's hairdos would get a laugh. I have two Hocus Pocus masks, so maybe I'll don Mary's signature 'do.
Halloween 2021 hopefully will be back to the way we used to know it.
Oh, and Mother Darling and I discovered a film that's become quite dear to us. Has anyone ever seen it?
I have a pin with this photo on it I bought off of Etsy. It says "S-T-A-U-N-C-H" on it ;). I think she would approve of my "best costumes of the day".

3 years agoSince you can't see them in the picture, here are the boots I wore for The Bride. Aren't they gorgeous? If I ever go as Stevie Nicks again (or a Snow Queen costume) I'll wear these. They're also available in black.

3 years agoLOVE Drag Race and Jinkx's performance as Little Edie was so endearing and well done :) .
I will have to plan my "revolutionary costume", but here's a glimpse of what I may look like as Little Edie. Complete with vintage brooch found at a little local boutique.
This was back in August. The scarf is from my local Goodwill.
LindaC, did you know they turned Grey Gardens into a musical? The soundtrack is gorgeous!!!
