Halloween Duds

I will give you three guesses whose camera memory crapped out on her this week. Arrr...its quite frustrating, and I am working to try to have my camera up and running again stat. But sadly, no wardrobe pics this week...

In the meantime, I thought I would show you some of my favorite Halloween costumes this season. By far my favorite part of Halloween isn't the dressing up, but seeing what brilliant costumes others come up with - these are just a few examples...



From Top to Bottom:

Gala Darling: Gala braves latex to don this fantastic and sexy nurse costume. Ladies take note: ditch those barely-there costumes: THIS is how you look hot.

Doe Deere: Xenia is constantly awing me with her makeup transformations, and her spin on the classically campy Barbarella is my new favorite!

Nubby: Strangely enough, Nubby is the second Minnie Mouse I have seen this year, though her costume is much more cute and less terrifying than my coworker's interpretation...



Persephassa: Seeing Roxanne's costumes each year have become a Halloween highlight for me; she always manages to become something intellectual, novel and radiant. This year is no exception, dressed as a elegant "vamp."

Verhext: I love Tamara's take on the Dia de los Muertos, particularly the dress; she decorated it with a handmade, stunning, blossoming interpretation of female genitalia, that just transforms the entire costume into a gorgeous homage to womanhood, femininity and death.



(See the full-length here.)

The Coveted: Jennine blew everyone out of the water. She didn't just create 1 costume, but SEVEN. And if that wasn't enough, she performed this stunning feat using only items already in her wardrobe. Talk about an inspiration machine! The above is her delightful, whimsical Ringmaster costume.

I didn't even recognise Doedeere in her costume when she first posted it... amazing! It's not celebrated much in australia and it's the end of the uni year for me, so I spent Halloween inside doing homework.. :(
