So....too early? Noooooo don't say that ;)It's never too early to be thinking of your costume!!
And I've learnt my lesson from last year - as you can see from these pictures - I was so busy with Uni work and my weekend job I didn't have time to come up with an amazing outfit. Now anyone whose ever looked at my photos closely might notice I have a little fang ;) so I thought ahha! Vampire! Perfect quick solution.
So last Halloween I raced home from work, slipped on my tightest black skirt, skin tight black meshtop and backcombed my hair into oblivion! :) My sister looked amazing - her outfit was a murdered Miss World, wonderfully grim and gory with a knife sticking out of the middle of her chest.
Me, Aimee and my Mum stood outside our kitchen door in the back garden justthrowing fake blood on her! Such fun :P
Aimee was a kind of Sailor/Zombie/Lady GaGa...I think it worked! I did her make up ;) (p.s how weird and scary does my eyelook here!!??? Suppose it was Halloween though :p)
The entire night there were hardly any smiles for the cameras - it was gory grins, snarls, and screams! :D
Wealso swapped parts of our outfits!
One too many lemonades for Olivia here ;) How confused do I look?:P
Rawghhhhhhh!!!!!!
:DSooo this year I need a bit of planning. I have always, and probably always will, love mermaids. I adore them. Little Mermaid was (and still is ) my favourite film and I always thought they were far more magical and interesting then just some plain boring princess or fairy ;)
SoI've been thinking...why not go as a mermaid this year?
Not as saucy as this one obviously ;) I would have to cover up a bit!
I like this type of mermaid...not as clean cut and a bit wild...
wonderful Pre raphaelite painting of some cheeky sirens
Heres a mermaid from the wonderful Mermaid Parade held on Coney Island New York every summer...if you've never heard of it, google it! Its amazing I hope I can go one day!
How ace does she look!? Don't think I could do the full body paint though...maybe just some shimmer on my collar bones and shoulders?
I know she's not a mermaid haha, but I love this style make up for a mermaid, but maybe replace the purple for a greeny,blue? or maybe a coppery bronze to make my eyes look blue-er? What do you think?
My favourite painting probably ever, I've loved it since I was a child. Were lucky enough to actually house it in our local Art Gallery, and its stunning.
These girls are paid to be mermaids in aquariums ! Can you imagine that, going to your local aquarium, cheking out the fish, and a mermaid floats by....
How cool! :D
Retro Mermaid! :)
This womans called Hanna, and she's a mermaid in the Mermaid Lagoon in Sydney aquarium, she looks really realistic doesnt she? :)
Mermaid hair :) thinking I should do my hair all wiggly and curly and string glittery thread and pearls through it :)
:)
Hhahahaha thought I'd finish with this funny picture ;) Although he does look a little odd, I love the stars in his hair and am thinking of stealing this idea!
