Halloween Party on Saturday!!!

Very exciting news. Have been invited to first-time all-real Halloween party in Chicago. I know it may sound trite - but I haven't celebrated Halloween since I've moved here. [Disclosure: I was Red Riding Hood in 1990 when my family was living in Centralia, IL for a few months. Tip: Red Frock + Red Hood stitched by mother + Basket + Red Lipstick = Very Believable and Attractive, Young Red Riding Hood.] So this is my third Halloween since I started living here and the first one in which I'll actually do something and dress up. Yayyy! *Excited*

Ok, initially I had a mind-block on what to be. When I started looking up constume ideas, I slapped my head and said heyyyy! I have a Fedora Hat sitting in my closet that I've had so much trouble wearing (to date its been only been worn once - during a winter flu on the El - why do I feel I wasn't thinking straight that day!).

So if you combine a Fedora hat with a pinstriped pant and vest, french-cuffed white shirts and a tie plus a gun - you have a female mob ganster !!! Yayyyy!


Anyways, I went home - I found the pants, I found the shirt, I looked through Omar's ties - didn't really like many but I'll just pick whatever - put on the hat - Walah! Pretty good for not spending any money. Most costumes for this ganster dress up cost up to 50 bucks - no less! It was a good relief to know that I didn't have to stress about this. The only thing that I am buying is a Machine Toy Gun and the cutest black high-shine patent oxfords from Forever21. Well thats the plan - I hope they are not out of stock.
