I'll be celebrating Halloween by working.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Our wings are not tired
It's Halloween. I'm in jeans and a t-shirt at work. I do have a bunch of people operating a big Halloween event for other folks to enjoy, but we will all be at work.

I'm dressing up as the Devil tonight, same as last year. I figure why mess around with a classic? Plus the clothes are dressy enough I'll fit right in at the swanky restaurant/lounge I want to go to for dinner.
The lamb dish they have on this week's menu is too good to pass up for more than one reason.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Which of your many costumes is this, Epic?
When I heard what the prize was going to be, I decided to step it up a bit and pull out my wearable frame. Then I searched for a portrait I thought I could pull off. I found this:
Did my best approximation of her hair and makeup, found a scarf that was pretty close to hers at the Goodwill, and rigged up a placard to the left of the frame as if it's on the wall of the museum. (I was tied up managing the frame, so I have to wait to see if any of my co-workers got a decent pic). Apparently people somehow didn't notice the frame and placard, or something, so didn't get it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That's clever, Epic!
I'm just not into it this year. Oh well.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, that sounds great, Epic!
Ha, the first little trick or treater came by my cube and told me I was a good kitty. I don't know where she got that, but I'll take it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We're reusing Mr. S's costume from last year, so he'll be a monkey.(Truth in advertising, we say.) I didn't do a costume today, but I am wearing both my sets of Halloween earrings.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I wore my newly thrifted brown velvet top hat over to early voting at town hall and the library, and found myself singing Halloween Carols with the local anti-Morris group who had gathered on the library lawn for a special spooky silent dance, so I feel sufficiently hallowe'ened.

Sweet Jesus Mary, there has got to be a better way to do this prep thing.
I've dealt with worse. I think the worst part is that I have to do this to myself.

My kids have both aged out of Halloween. But this will be the first year in ages we've been home to hand out candy, and there are several families with adorable littles on our block!
I swear a couple of my trick or treaters were at least 18.
