As for me, my plans for Halloween are: Going down to New Orleans with my twin sister to stay with my girlfriend. Saturday we're all going to VooDoo Fest where we will all get very drunk while my girl and I are dressed as Moulder and Scully

Sunday shall be a morning of recovery, then an afternoon trip home. Monday I'll make the short drive to Leesville to be there for the first time my godson really goes trick or treating.

So, how about y'all?

OMG a VooDoo Fest. I has a jealous face!!! I think that should be on my "list of fun things to do".

I love love love Samhain. My kids are all grown but I loved taking them trick o' treating. When they got older and told me I could no longer come I was ssssssooooo sad. Every year I would dress up. I loved handing out candy. Sometimes I would negotiate such as... you give me your black licorice I will give your three candy bars, it actually worked a couple of times. But I live in a walk up apartment now and I don't get the thrill of scaring the little ones

<----- sad face.

But I rallied...

This year I am going as a Japanese Samurai woman named Toyoko. She has a chinese counterpart Li Chi ... so... I get to wear my boot knives, my throwing knives (Cause both characters slayed the snake/serpent with knives) a chain belt, and a TOTALLY comfortable costume. All white. I wish I knew more about Chinese and Japanese color symbolism. Is white their color for maidens as well? The only issue is that I would love to use black hair spray paint, but I dance like a mad woman and I am not willing to sacrifice my favortist white shirt for my costume.

Next....

I hope this doesn't burst your bubble, but......White is the colour of mourning and is associated with death and is used predominantly in funerals in Chinese and Japanese cultures.

Is a mermaid based costume too obvious? Easy to create at home with a pretty bra and saran/shipping wrap

I am not very familiar with an event like that so I am guessing.

Oh you know, I have leftover green saran wrap from Christmas! Good thinking!

My favorite memories of Halloween are with my kids when they were little.

When Brad was around two, i dressed him up as a penquin and from the back he looked exactly like one cause he waddled when he walked. Also, he didn't quite get the whole idea of trick or treat. When we rang a doorbell and they answered, he would just walk on inside. He thought we were there to visit. I had to keep a good grip on him.

When Steve was around seven, i dressed him as a coke can and it had just tiny slits for the eyes. He bumped into everything and even walked right over a mailbox at one point, bending it completely over.

I hold these and so many sweet Halloweeen memories near and dear to my heart. When the little ones come to my door now, and i see their parents standing near by, i know they are making their own precious memories. Makes me smile.

Silverseastar · 10-30-2011, 07:39 PM

Amber2010 · 10-31-2011, 05:11 PM

I so love Halloween. I dress up at work even though no one else does. Giggles. This year I dressed in military stuff. With my toy gun and had on a camo hat and went out and just got everyone around there laughing including all the people that came in. Ok as a femme I don't make a good soldier LOL but fun fun fun!

Clear plastic dome umbrella + fabric or crepe paper streamers = instant jellyfish costume.

Also, I'm just gonna leave this here in the spirit of the season:

Zombie Snow White. I bought a lovely snow white dress, and want to add some scary make-up and messed up hair. I have these fake blood capsules that I can't wait to squirt all over my face tomorrow.

Oohhh no bubble bursting here!! How absolutely perfect for Halloween. Thank you very much for telling me that. Perhaps the colors fits in with the stories because they were both supposed to die, instead they killed and defeated/conquered the evil water serpent/dragon.

Thanks for answering my question!!!

You're welcome!

I was forever being asked who I was mourning when I lived in Japan and Hong Kong, because I wear cream blouses and Sweaters alot, lol! I started to feel as though I needed a sign around my neck saying: "Not in Mourning, just like wearing cream/white". LOL!
