Oh, you're not a corpse bride, you're the PHANTOM BRIDE!!! By the way, the second hat suits your outfit better than the first one.

I'm still undecided, which is kinda sad since I usually have my costume planned since 11/1 the previous year................

For the first party of the evening (my little sister's, lots of 10/11 year olds running around hyper) I'm going to go with a long, fairly demure spider-lady dress - don't want to corrupt the little dears too much.

However for my party later in the evening, I'm going to be a slutty exorcist. Black satin corset and short shorts, fishnet tights, black boots/high heels, a HUGE tacky cross necklace and of course a bottle of vodka with a label on it saying 'holy water'. Good times

Well, I have not had any luck posting pictures with photobucket and apparently you can't pull them up from your PC so I will have to describe my costure.

I will be "The Grandmother" You can see the picture in my photo album on my site.

I had originally wanted to do Charley's Aunt like Jack Benny & Ray Bolger. However, Hurricane Katrina got in the way here. Soooo! Things are getting more back to normal now.

However, I decided to change the Charley's Aunt costume into a lovable old, pipe smoking Granny!

The costume will be a long back dress with a 115inch hooped petticoat. The dress has some lace decorations on it.

I will be wearing a gray Granny wig with a bun, granny glasses, a string purse, light makeup, a lace fan and I will be "smoking" a corn cob pipe.

To be very realistic even though no one can see them I will have a pair of pink satin pantaloons with lace at the bottom as well as the shoes I use for the Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit. They have purple bows on them.

Since I have never used this costume before and have never went out dressed as a lady, I will have a lot of practicing to do in order to move around and sit down in it. I unerstand hoopskirts can be a little difficult.

I will also have to practice my voice and walk.

But you know what? This will be a lot of fun.

Check out my photoalbum and let me know what you think of the costume!
