This year, Jenn & I went to Sin City’s Halloween Bash (and I also hit up the Ghost Ship Halloween Cruise the day before) … so you know I had to get a good costume together. I call this one “Left at the Altar”. Costume includes: My wedding dress, courtesy of my failed engagement 8 years ago. Still shocked that it zips up, even if it’s a bit tighter than I remember it being when I was 20. Other accessories: Wig (need haircut badly! real hair too scruffy to make bridal. Wig lovely, though.) sparkly bracelet, necklace, purse, and even my old engagement ring. (I even checked with my ex fiance if he minded me using it. Well, only a little — at least I’m getting SOME use out of it. And yes, it feels bloody weird to be wearing it.)
And, of course, a great deal of smeared eyeliner & mascara. So sad!
Best part? Jenn & I walking up to Blenz after leaving Sin City, and a random guy on the street looking at me and exclaiming, “oh my god! I KNEW I forgot something today!” And I, of course, go into high drama mode. “You BASTARD! You LEFT ME at the ALTAR!” *huge gulping sob as I flounce away theatrically*
The only catch? I totally can’t keep up the act. Turns out, if I actually was left at the altar, methinks I’d be looking for a place to hide the body; no tears required.
Jenn was also delightful looking. She was a sexy, sexy seal. And by “sexy” I mean “holy fuck, that’s disturbing.” Encased in latex rubber, with a seal nose & flippers… I didn’t know if I should take her to the club… or just club her. But hey, why can’t it be both?

It’s an oldy but Jenn’s costume reminded me of it.
