That is, the end of October .

And that means one thing: HALLOWEEN! My favorite holiday!

So, what are you going to be this year?

I'm planning on being Salvador Dali. I'm probably going to get this and make a crazy Dali moustache out of it, buy a really cheap plastic pimp cane if I can find one, and I'll just wear a suit jacket and pants with that. I have a question- did Dali wear green knee socks? My friend mentioned it in passing, but I can't find out whether he was making it up or something. I might still incorporate them into my outfit though- oh, and I'll probably wear a Les Montres shirt underneath the jacket and a paintbrush behind my ear so people will have a better idea of who I am .

It's on a Sunday this year though. Arrness.

I don't know if I'm going to dress up this year. I have to get costumes for my kids, so I might not have the money.

Nephthys' Halloween Thread

posted October 15, 2004 07:31 AM         

I have organized (with a little help from some mates) a Halloween party to be held in my Libra's folks' pub. We contacted all the distributors and got them to send tons of promotional decorations and freebies for a great night! We can't charge an entry fee, so we're doing up a coldron for dontaions, all proceeds are going to the women's hospice here in Portsmouth. We are also doing a raffle, and the locals are donating some stuff for us to raffle off, like a ''ladies'' basket with candles, bubble bath, a bottle of wine, and a good book, and for the men, a subscription to a man-mag. Lots of other stuff has been donated too. The proceeds from the raffle are going to the hospice, too. It's a fancy dress party, and I'm going to do a bunch of food, too. We got a couple of cd's with Halloween songs on them, so we'll put them in the jukebox. It should be a really great night!!

Mr. Libra and I are going as Bonnie and Clyde (not terribly original, but he's not up for going as anything else). We're really excited about it!!

It's my fave holiday, my mum always has costume parties at her house, so I decided to bring the Halloween spirit with me to England.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

*LOVES HALLOWEEN*

Unfortunately, there's a little suckage involved this year: Jase was going to make both of us masks (being an artsy type a guy, he can do that), but he's been stuck on funeral detail (being one of the soldiers at military funerals) - including an over-nighter and a trip up to B'ham today - for the past week, and may be so this weekend, too.

So, we don't have any costumes, but Meg's gonna be a little black cat
Post trick-or-treating is set for 6-8 PM tomorrow (Saturday), so I've got a bit of prep to get done. We didn't have the $$ for an awful lot, but we got 9 bags of candy (besides of hordes of soldier's children, kids come in from the surrounding towns because the houses are easy access and the roads are safe), a creepy motion-sensitive (and loud) sign, some skulls on stakes, some cobwebs and spray-on glow-in-the-dark stuff.
We also have four pumpkins waiting to be jack-o-lanterned up (a wee one, a medium-sized one, a largish one, and a huge one) - if Jase doesn't make it back tomorrow, I'll just do'em - and a bunch of brown paper bags and wax paper (I'm going to make Halloween luminary-type-things).

OH! And Nepthy's cider-stuff so the house smells yummy when we open the door
