Halloween at its best
Bill and I were invited to a Halloween Party..in fact it is now the 2nd and hope there are many more. Our friends, Richard and Jamie are so much fun and can put-on, only the best, party.
The real challenge, is to find the perfect costume and all the details that go along with them. We really were not sure what we wanted to be, until we were in our local Goodwill store. When entering, I went on my journey, to the back of the store. Not sure if you all are like me, being a, "Creature of Habit" and needing to go the same route, each and every time..but off I went.
Bill likes to look at everything, in detail...my mission, that day...."TO FIND THE PERFECT COSTUME"! I found where the Halloween "STUFF" was and there was a dress, long black, sort of a Gothic look. Really the only one that really stood-out, at me. I carried it around, until I came up-on the worse mask...ever and went to find, my Bill. He, at once liked the scary part and proceeded to find the rest of the costume. The cape was something he needed and there it was, among the rest of the costumes. He needed a pair of sandals and in his closet, they were. We had a bent-looking cane all he needed, now was a twisted rope for his waist. That he found at another Goodwill and his costume was all done.
I did buy the Gothic-looking dress and had the sandals at home. Found a long black wig and put it on....Not a nice sight, as I just got my highlights put in and at the forehead, one could see them. Not a pretty site, with the pitch-black, long wig. So, I decided not to wear if....besides, it kept sliding back off my forehead, and I could vision the, "Slippage"....after a few drinks!!! I found a plastic head piece (like a halo) and fixed it with black and gold netting for a long train- like affect. Put gold glitter, in my hair. Found a really neat belt and earrings at the Goodwill. So, off we went to the party.
Richard and Jamie have introduced us to many of their good friends. As you can see, many were dressed for the occasion. Lots of fun!
We are looking forward to the next Halloween Party and another, " Mission" to find our Costumes, next year!
Enjoy....
