Continuing my Wicked obsession, i have decided to be Elphaba for halloween. not to be confused with the wicked which of the west. "i'll get you my pretty. and you're little dog too.' no. not me... see below for pictures of the green girl from oz. after halloween i'll have pictures up of me in costume i'm sure. anyway... in order to make absolutely sure people don't think i'm just an ordinary witch. what fun is that? sooooo unoriginal! i decided to embroider myself alittle "name tag" so here it is...
i made home made green face make up. i'll be wearing black turtleneck sweater and black skirt. witch boots and green tights. and of course the hat! no broom as i don't have one and think it's not worth it to buy one since it's not easy to dance with a broom in hand. what do you think?
anyway... on to other things...
i was in marshalls the other day looking for a new hat when i happened upon this fantastic scarf that i could not leave in the store! so... i bought it. hey, cut me some slack. it was only $16.99. made in italy. pretty huh?
the floor you see is the floor of my office. isnt it perty? lol! this is what i do with my lunch break! sad sad sad.
one more thing before i go... yesterday was my nana's birthday. if she were still alive, i'm not sure how old she would have been yesterday, but i thought of her and wished her a happy birthday anyway. my mom told me a cool (or creepy depending on your outlook) story about her recently. her yartzeit was shortly after yom kippor and of course my dad lit a yizkor candle for her on yom kippor. those things only stay lit for like 24 hours. her's stayed lit for more like 48 i think. long enough to almost go into her yartzeit day. anywho. when something like that happens (if you believe in this stuff) you think... "what is she trying to tell us?" so my dad went out to the cemetary and there was a shredded up styrophome cup on her grave. You have to know, my nana was known for vaccuming in the middle of the night. Not a woman who liked clutter or mess too much. Anyway... don't you think that's cool? She needed to tell us to clean up that damn cup! i can see her face all scrunched up in consternation now. Go Nana!
To tie things all together, here is a picture of me and nana from halloween when i was a little gun slinging cowgirl. aren't i cute?

Wait how could you not own a broom? Isn't that a house necessity? Great picture of you with your nana. You know as a person from Texas, i never dressed up as a cowgirl... odd. Halloween what a fun time. Though I’ve come to the conclusion that all my Halloween costumes were pretty dumb, a pumpkin, M&M, Hershey kiss, and a college graduate. I was probably a witch sometime between pumpkin and Hershey kiss.
But I think your choice to be Elphaba for Halloween is going to be awesome, and much more original than a pumpkin!
