Hello Bunnies!!
Halloween is our favorite time of the year, and as usual, we went all out.
This year, I went as Zombie Carmen Miranda, and Nick as my undead flamenco boyfriend.
My headdress was a very heavy 5 pound monstrosity completely handmade from 3 different hat bases, three scarves, a basket and a mountain of plastic and glass fruit, complete with little fake flies on wires. In retrospect, after an evening at the bar, I should have made this much lighter. As I write this, my neck is killing me!
My dress was a hodge podge of two different dresses and two skirts sewn together, with a pile of vintage bangles and beads. My makeup was done from scratch using pantyhose, glue, tissue paper and a whack of regular makeup. I a
lso made Nick's shirt, soaked it in red paint and fake blood, and attached an arrow to hit hat.
All in all, I'm pretty darn happy with our costumes.
Happy Halloween all!!!
XOXO
