So, it's 3 days before Halloween and I still don't have a costume. I have a pile of fabric that needs to be cut and sewn together and then I'll have a costume. Why don't I ever learn and start the costume planning and preperation earlier?
I have two Halloween parties to go to this year (can you believe it? TWO!), on Saturday and on Sunday. The party on Saturday will be showing the Rocky Horror Picture Show, so E and I had the bright idea that we'd go in costume. He as Riff and I as Magenta. Is that too cute or what?
I was able to pick up a pair of cheapie boots, a feather duster, and the make-up. I had some trouble finding a dress though. All the French maid costumes that I found were very short and off the shoulder. That's not what Magenta wears. So, yes, I'm being very anal, but I like my costumes to be authentic. So, I went to JoAnn's Fabrics tonight and I got a pattern and fabric for a dress, complete with white cuffs and collar, and a pattern for an apron.
Technically I have tomorrow night, and Friday night, and all day Sat to make the costume. Which should be enough time. Though it would be nice if I could get it done tomorrow night and then I can go as a regular maid on Friday to work (I'll Magenta-fy it for the parties). We'll see. I'm excited. I like making things.
