Last year, Halloween ended up being a bust because I wound up with a migraine ON Halloween night. And when I finally came out of my Excedrin-induced coma, I was pissed that all my hard work had gone to waste.
I was Gallagher.
This year, I recycled one of my old costumes (I have PLENTY.) and dressed up for work. Here are some highlights from the office.
Neo from The Matrix
A kitty playing with a ball
And my favorite: Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation. (This guy gets major cred because he actually grew his moustache for a month preparing for this costume. Well played...)
Since Boyfriend and I weren't going to have Pearl on Halloween night, we took advantage of a local pre-Halloween event and got all dressed up the Saturday before. There was a costume contest (that Pearl would have killed in, but she was too scared) and lots of downtown shops were giving away candy so kids could trick-or-treat safely during the daytime.
Here are my top three faves from the day...
#3: Old school scaryass clown
#2: CATS the broadway musical
#1: Albert Einstein
Pearl's makeup was inspired by this tutorial. Her dress was a $30 steal from Home Goods. In my head, I'm going to say she was Claudia from Interview with a Vampire. In Pearl's words, I think she was actually something like Zombie Vampire Dead-Girl Doll-Princess.
BEFORE...
Step 1: Powder face...
Step 2: Create "sad eyes" (and I don't mean "Sad Eyes" the homegirl from down the street)...
Step 3: Draw some wicked cool eyebrows (like "Sad Eyes" from down the street)...
Step 4: Add some contouring and lipstick...
And voila. Your Claudia from Interview with a Vampire Zombie Vampire Dead-Girl Doll-Princess look is complete.
I love that she's not all girly-girl'd out. Also, Biscuit's trying to go in for a smooch. She's a lover, not a fighter.
Speaking of Biscuit...
This bitch loves Halloween.
