11536So, Meggie and her freinds Merideth and Heather went out and about last night for the Athens Downtown costume fun. I decided not to go as I am still sick, but I did help Megan and Meri with their costumes. I lent Meri my Sexy Halloween costume from 2004. It was really fun to see how different she looked in it. She sure took it in a different direction than me. She even had awesome makeup and a curly mohawk to go with the riding crop she added. Meggie ressurected the black costume once again, making it the third time this one’s been worn. I wore it out the last time we were both downtown, way back in 2002. She looks better in it than me.
I had a great costume all planned and ready. I didn’t put it all on to get photos, but hopefully I can do that eventually. It’s the little red dress with the black designs, some flame wings, some fishnet tights and a pair of glittery devil horns. It’ll be really cute if I ever get a chance to wear it. It’ll probably come in handy for a Sexy Halloween at some point.
11504Just for the hell of it, I also bought some Mini-Pumpkins and carved them up. I was curious as to whether they’re just gourds or if they are actual pumpkins. They’re real pumpkins! Since I had chopped them open, I decided that carving them would be a lot easier than carving a huge pumpkin and scooping all that junk out of it. It was fun! It took me about an hour to empty and carve up all five of them, but two were too small to actually fit the tea-candles in. They’re only about 3-4 inches across and about 2 inches tall. I got the fun fall pumpkin carving smell without having to get my hands all slimy. Yay!
cool pumpkins. i’ve always wondered if the little ones could be carved into jack o’lanterns. now i know.
