• Black elastic waist cincher.


• Black satin faux-Victorian jacket that buttons at the waist, and is open over the blouse


• Hair pulled up into a bun (secured with lace hairties), and a mini top hat festooned with black feathers and veiling.


• Makeup is the usual foundation, smudgey eyeshadow in a smokey purple color (which was also used for eyeliner, black mascara, and LipInk in Cherry and Plum.


• A blood-stained handkerchief tucked into the left cuff of my blouse.


• Delicate, ladylike spatters of blood going up across my face from my mouth.


• And of course, my fangs.

Yes, I am a walking Gothy Cliché today, and it makes me very happy.

Makes me happy too! I walked into the library today to return my books and the librarian was simply cooing over my outfit! Told her it was the one day of the year that 'we' owned. Wore red and black stripey knee socks, long patchwork fishtail shaped skirt in shades of black, grey back-buttoning Victorian blouse that has a pie crust collar and white lace insertion down the front, rubber under bust corset over skirt and blouse, Edwardian vintage elbow legnth jacket with fancy detailing and sailor collar in black velvet grosgrain, and white rabbit fur Russian style hat wore with huge diamonte oval pin at perky angle.

Oh, and final detail was huge skeleton earrings about four inches long made from rubber skeletons I'd crusted in glitter and diamonte for eyes...

I went with the all black and my cobra-headed pimp cane. And black hat with netting (so good for funerals).

Oh, I love the idea of LJ trick-or-treating! How charming! Consider this a plate of virtual cookies. :)

How does one keep fake blood from getting itchy?

I was a zombie soccer mom (redundant, I know)for Halloween and the dried blood drove me nuts, though the way it started to flake off really made it look even gorier.
