oooOOOOOoooo Halloween!




Halloween in one of my most favorite holidays. i don't care too much for the deep, dark, gory side, but I LOVE the costumes and candy and the slight fear of everything that goes 'bump' in the night. This year is going to be my best year of all as far as costumes go. i am dressing as Mrs. Lovett from the screen version of Sonheim's thriller-musical "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street". I saw the movie last December and was immediately hooked, and then I was fortunate enough to be able to see the national tour of the stage version at the Cadillac Palace Theater in Chicago this past April. I had planned to make the costume myself, but I was in a time crunch, so I turned to eBay. We found this amazing person who we msent my exact measurements to and he is custom making a fantastic costume for me! It is just like the movie dress and I 'Lovett'! Sorry for the poor pun...

Thanks for the comment! Ha Ha and I love the poor pun! But anyway I am so excited for you that you finally get your costume! It will look amazing! I cannot wait to see it. And yes, the play at Cadillac was amazing!! I am so happy that you asked me to go! I will never forget that (and the little kid on the leash) ha ha! That was fantastic. Oh and I can't forget Creepy Steve (boy was he creepy), or you guys abandoning me in the parking deck, by the elevator, with that random guy! Oh and I think I accidentally threw away my marshmallow shooter *tear* but it tried to kill me anyway. We can make some other contraption, though. See you at school!! (in our ONE class! gah. stupid.) later gator
