  • Halloween Party Photos 2011

    Halloween Photos 2011After taking 2010 off, we were back with a vengeance for Halloween 2011! This year was our eighth party, and it was bigger and better than ever. More than forty guests packed into our house to show off their costumes, sample our spooky food, and have some fun. Oh, and we made a Meat Head. It was CREEPY AS.

    As always, I’ve got photographs that attempt to document the insanity. (There are recipe links for the curious as well.) Our friends outdid themselves this year, and there were some seriously amazing costumes. Most of the photographs were taken by Jonathan Feldman and myself, with a few from Jamie Griego, David Edgar, and Jane Matlock as well. Thank you to the photographers, and to everybody who came along!

    And if you have any photographs of guests that I don’t have, please let me know! Update: Thanks David for the picture of Issy as Bellatrix!

  • Frocktober Wrap-Up

    Frocktober has come to an end for 2011, and I’m happy to report that the initiative has raised over $112,000 so far. As for me, I managed to wear dresses or skirts on 22 days out of the month. I had no idea I had so many non-pants clothing options in my closet! Here’s a recap of some of the different outfits I rocked this month:

    Black wrap dress, orange tightsDenim skirt, T-shirt, clogsWool skirt, T-shirt, cardigan, blue tightsLinen skirt, henley, boots
    GAP puffy skirt, T-shirt, cardiganGAP khaki skirt, blouse, cardigan, pink tightsJolene dress from HeartbreakerDenim maxi skirt, T-shirt, clogs
    Self-made paisley corduroy skirt, T-shirt, cardigan, sneakersSuper Spy dress from Heartbreaker, blue tights, bootsAstro dress from HeartbreakerSelf-made skirt WITH ROBOTS, blouse
    Coral dress from Target, sneakersDiner dress from HeartbreakerGAP sundress, thongsSelf-made skirt, henley
    Black pencil skirt, Liza Minelli concert T-shirt, cardigan, orange tightsDress from Apple Pie FashionsSelf-made Wonder Woman skirt with rented Halloween costumeVintage pink party dress, fascinator

    One interesting side effect of this experiment has been the number of times people have commented about me “losing weight.” I actually haven’t. It’s just that the vintage styles are more fitted than my modern clothes, and they show off my existing shape better. I guess there’s a lesson there, and I should be in 50’s drag all the time!
