now you can see the whole costume... im sad now that halloween is over. i never liked halloween until this year. i realized it has potential for full on glitter and camp, which is basically what makes life worth living! what to be next year...

If you were a bird Sarah, you'd definatley be a peacock.

I want that bird. I love you because you don't wear cheap makeup.

oh, the makeup was really easy to get off. i turned on the shower and sat down and washed my face! i use a loreal cleanser that removes eye makeup as well. the feathers came off easily, i used latex eyelash glue, and it comes off painlessly and easily. i dont use cheap makeup, so it didnt irritate my face, and instead of crappy face paint, i used liquid shadows. i bought really fine glitter at the craft store because it is much cheaper than the sephora stuff and essentially the same thing and the jewels i used the latex glue for as well. i brought eye drops with me the the parties because the glitter was irritating my eyes and that helped to clear them out!

thanks guys! it was actually pretty simple to do the costume, the makeup was the hard part which was actually a lot more intricate in person. for the feathers around my neck and back i pinned a boa to my leotard. i bought a tutu that didn't fit right, so i cut off the waist band and pinned the tutu to fit around my waist and pinned the purple flower broach to the front and i wore black spandex leggings underneath. the feather tail was angel wings turned upside down and worn at the waist and tied around with elastic like a belt. i glued an extra row of feather plumes to the bottom of the back of the wings to elongate the tail and add color and voila! i am thinking of being an ostrich next year, but an elegant one as they are not a very pretty bird!

Wow!!!! I'm so glad you posted full pix! That's a total winner of a costume. Beautiful job!!! How did you do it?

(btw, were the feathers & glitter hard to get off your face?)

e:hodown, where my prize at????

there were no peacock feathrs but i made one amzing bird. everyone, including myself agreed i had the coolest costume.

like tim gunn says, "make it work", which i totally did.

a couple was dressed as tim gunn and heidi klum at one of the parties. we made great friends. only true fashionistas can understand the meaning of couture halloween...

more pictures to come later.....

10/22/09 19:38 - 48.ºF - ID#50078a lack of glamour here

my sister life is not very glamourous and this upsets me. she carries her laundry down the street like a common hobo... to the laundromat and back.

i'm hoping to change some of this for her, at least for a day. maybe i will treat her to a an overnight spa day for her xmas gift.

i am on the no spending money plan which includes me. sitting at home when i am not working, thinking about how i should get online and do my french assignments and then watching netflix and eating chocolate and mac n cheese.

by christmas i may not be allowed in the spa, you will need a crane to lift me.

the good news is my clothes still fit which means if i stop this now, i can be back in shape in just a month. must hike 4 miles a day.

anyway, e:deeglam is supposed to come soon, and she gets a spa day too. i am so sick of the lack of glamour everywhere. are we doomed to life a plain and sparkleless life?????

all by myself

My lappy is sick. I couldn't get an appointment at the genius bar until tomorrow night. Until then its just me.

I am forced to use Julie's IBM to do my work tomorrow. The thought makes me want to barf.

Anytime I get sad I think of e:Deeglam who has been through so much. Send her happy thoughts and love, she has a lot on her plate.

Its crazy how much I don't want to be in Buffalo, but there are so many people there that I want to be there for.

Today is the first day since I have left that I have actually considered going back.
.
I hope this feeling is short lived because I detest winter like no other.
