I absolutely LOVED Halloween this year. My plan was to dress up as Ferris Bueller and Sloan Peterson from Ferris Bueller's day off. You know, I hate that I have to explain this everytime. You should know who Ferris Bueller is, EVERYONE should know who Ferris Bueller is. Anyways, that plan didn't pan out. Why? Apparently you need to know somebody to get a sweater-vest. Apparently they're a hot commodity. Forget crack, start selling sweater-vests in a dark alley and watch the dough roll in. "No, I don't want your drugs. Gimme the freakin' vest, bro. How much you want for it? No, I'm not wired. What do you mean you're all out?"
It was that bad.
We (my bestie and me) decided it wasn't worth it. (Though we did pick up some valuable contacts if you're ever in the market for suspenders, leather jackets or loafers. Shh! ) We, actually just Bridget, found something comparable if not better.
WE WERE WHO'S!
That's right. Christmas Who's. As in The Grinch. I was Cindy Lou Hoo and Bridget was Bridgey Lou. It was sooo fun. We actually made these costumes, too! Both of our skirts were, once upon a time, little girls dresses. We found them at D.I. As soon as Bridget saw hers the idea to be Who's came to her in a brilliant epiphany. My skirt took a little while to find and actually fit my 11 year old sister perfectly! She wanted to keep it but then I would've been a naked Who, which wasn't cool with me because it was the middle of October. Yeah, it was cold.
Alright, we had our skirts, then we needed to bling the CRAP out of them. So we hit the Christmas decor section of, you guessed it, D.I., where we found over half of our costumes and Bridget's UH-mazing hairpiece. Its a gold reindeer, yeah, in her hair. IN. HER. HAIR. I'm so proud of how her hair turned out, it was so much fun to do! I practically had to schelack it into place and she told me later she had to shampoo like 4 times. It turned out perfectly!
My hair turned out perfectly too! Thank you pipe cleaners and bobby pins. My hair was a lot harder because of my bangs and all the layers I had put in but my sisters did AWESOME.
Everybody LOVED our costumes! Surprisingly we were asked what we were dressed up as ALL THE TIME. How? Why? How do you not know?
Anyways, Halloween was truly amazing. I quit trick-or-treating when I was like 12 and I don't miss it. Not even a little bit. My new unofficial role now is the hair and makeup artist for my little siblings, little siblings friends and whoever else wants it. Its the best!! That was my favorite part of Halloween anyways. I own a candy store, I don't need to go door-to-door to get my fill, lol.
Speaking of which, Skinny Ninja is up and running and is doing well! We're really starting to get known in the mall and we have regulars, the employees love us! We're starting to get T-shirts and I can't wait to get mine! Woohoo! :D
Yes, you will be able to get them at the store... eventually. You know you want a Skinny Ninja t-shirt. You know you do.
Peace out, my friends.
