Steph, he looks great! Do we get to see pics of you?

Aims, love the costumes.

Ryan is, as usual, adorable.

My parents and sister were visiting this weekend. That was nice. Now they've gone home, and my house is quiet, which is also nice.

We didn't get any of me -- mostly because my costume wasn't street-legal, so I left the house in yoga pants, witchy boots, and a fleece pullover. And at the venue photography isn't allowed, so no picture there. And to leave I had to put the yoga pants and fleece pullover back on.

And when we got home we were otherwise occupied and pictures never happened.

I was just a generic, not very creative witch -- sheer black shirt, long foofy black petticoat, cool black boots, black cape, witch hat. My head got really hot under the hat and I took it off, which left people wondering what in the hell I was.

The reaction was far better to Tim's costume. Just him showing up in a man's suit -- before he even ripped open the shirt to show off the Superman shirt -- had people agog. Seriously. Several people walked right past him and didn't recognize him, which I suppose proves that those dorky glasses really DO disguise Clark Kent....

Seriously, one woman asked me if he stayed home, and I said, "You walked right past him downstairs -- he said hi to you!"

That's awesome! And I love the costume - cleverly photographed, too.

There was also a Wonder Woman last night, and a Silk Spectre (I), and the Punisher. Oh, and V from V for Vendetta. It was comics-tastic!

There was a handful of really amazing steampunk costumes that I wish I could have gotten pictures of -- the level of detail and the quality of the clothes was outstanding. I kept making geebly noises every time they walked by.

Tim really does rock the business suit, Tep. Not a sentence I ever thought I'd say about anyone, but he truly does look quite stylin'. And the S-shirt reveal is even better.

Matilda's curled up on the couch in her Wonder Woman costume watching Harry Potter. I'm really concerned that it's going to be worn to bits long before Halloween night ever comes.

I'm biased, but I think he looks very fine in a suit.

I agree with your assessment, Teppy.

The Clark Kent-Superman costume looks great! As do the Handmaiden and the Highlander.

Yesterday I goofed off and caught Red with smonster and others. Today I'm attempting to Clean All the Things, so naturally my back chose today to act up. I got things to the point where I can run the roomba, so I'm laying on the sofa, waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in, letting the robot handle my housework for a while.
