My favorite trick-or-treaters last night

[cupcake_goth]

We only saw about a dozen trick-or-treaters, but there was a group of three girls that made my night. I answered the door to two witches and a zombie girls, who all chorused "Trick or Treat!"

Then one of the witches looked at me and said, "Hey, you looked like that last year."

I smiled widely. "I look like this every day."

"Every day?!" replied the zombie girl.

"Yep, every day," I assured her, dropping candy into their pumpkins, watching the thought of OMG the neighbor lady is REALLY A VAMPIRE cross their faces.

They nervously said "Cool!", wished me a happy Halloween, and scampered down the stairs into the night.

2 of them were nervous because you're clearly a vampire, 1 of them was nervous because now she knows there is a world of possibilities. :D

This is the best scenario ever. :)

Saturday night I was riding my bicycle to a party, and while I wasn't really in a costume, I did have on a petticoat and flared navy-blue coat that's very lolita-esque.

A woman sees me ride by, and starts singing the theme song to The Wicked Witch of the West.

AWESOME.

I was once biking back to my campsite after a Greeter shift at Burning Man & spied a group of my friends, who'd hitched a ride back into the city on the back of a truck.

Vehicles are only allowed to drive 5mph to keep the dust down, so I pedalled past them easily at top speed, singing the witch's biking song. :D

On a flat ground like that with no headwind, you can easily pull 10 to 15 miles an hour, so that would be SO FUN.

Did you cackle and threaten to take their little dog, too?

I keep joking I should do that some year, in a neighborhood full of trick-or-treating kids. Just wear the costume and makeup and ride around and threaten small children.

Ah, corrupting young minds to the possibility that they don't have to conform. Most excellent!

This reminds me of when I went all gothed up to do errands. I had one of my victorian-ish blouses (which sadly no longer fit), a black frilly but gauzy skirt, floral pattern fishnet tights, my goth boots, hands covered in silver rings (which also annoyingly no longer fit), and one of my silver necklaces (I think the black cat's eye which I still want to try to get fixed)...

I had this middle aged dude and his two kids gasp at me, and I was expecting a really bad reaction, because the kids were whispering frantically at him. He stepped over to me and complimented me on how much he liked my costume. I had to explain it wasn't a costume, it was what I wore in real life. XD

Unfortunately, spoon deficit (and the fact that I need to replace most of my wardrobe after going from a size 8 to a size 16-18, and it is so fucking annoying that fat clothes are so much harder to find; I can never find cool shit in thrift stores anymore) means I really can't dress that way regularly anymore, but it's how I prefer too :)

No joke on the clothes front. I know they exist but all I ever find in the larger sizes are ill-conceived granny style pantsuits, like the Golden Girls wore.

Awesome!

[staysonpaper.livejournal.com]

Hee! That's completely brilliant. Well done.

Oh to have had a video camera to record the expressions and voices. I can see why that made your night.
