Welcome to the Jungle: Link Love

Happy post-Halloween! As you can see, Fiance Kaboom and I had a blast, Gun's and Roses style. Slash was one of the first monikers I earned in grade school (that and Cindy Lauper), so I thought it only appropriate to pay homage to my look-alike now that my hair is once again suitable length. These photos don't show it, but Fiance Kaboom also has Axl's tattoo sharpie'd onto his forearm:



I am still trying to figure out if it is a credit or discredit to my wardrobe that everything I needed to become Slash is already a part of my daily wardrobe (sans hat). I'm gonna go with credit though, as this costume cost me a whopping ten bucks.
