halloween. BOO

we had a halloween party last night.  obviously it was dress up so i was faced with a bit of a dilemma.  do i wear the black dress and go as a boring old witch or break the project and wear a costume i already have?  that was until my mate matt suggested i wear the haus frau number and go as a housewife.  a zombie housewife.  boom. great idea.  now it wouldn't be a costume party if i didn't make something, so i whipped up a cute little floral lacy apron to really get down with the housewife vibe.  i also made a 'scary' curtain by dying an old sheet with food dye and spraying black bats on it with a stencil i made.  voila!  cheap and cheerful student-y curtain.

what a hottie.  can i get you your pipe and slippers?

what a cute lil apron.  if people wore aprons i'd make more and sell them.

what a creepy bunch.  my bestie carla, my bfffffffff nick and carla's twin jemell.  or jemellatron as i like to call her.

on the subject of the party i have to say that i am blessed with the most wonderful housemates and bffff in the world.  the last couple of  parties that i've thrown have left me as one big ball of stress, rocking in the corner never wanting to touch a sponge again.  lovely lisa and awesome jess were wonderful though.  we all pitched in and got the house spick and span yet suitably spooky. particular fun was had with my dressmakers dummy.  she became jack the creepy watcher.  it's amazing how scary a dummy with a balloon jack o' lantern head and a robe can be.  the house was punctuated with screams all friday night as we placed him behind doors, in the bath and around corners whenever one of us wasn't watching.  tee hee. although not a member of the household, my bfffffff nick was muchos helpful too.  he made a lovely mural for the dancfloor with a moon and a ghost and bats.  also very cheap and student-y but lovely just the same.  everyone drank, danced and was merry.  a good time was had by all.  the abc news theme re-mix by pendulum went off it's nut.  guaranteed dance floor filler for future parties.

the 880 posse. jess was sporting a panda head for most of the night and  lisa was voldemort which was bloody creepy.  except when she hit the d floor.  voldemort busting a move was priceless and something i'm sure j.k. rowling would not approve of.

jack.  that crazy cat.
