Jackielantern you look awesom. I love that costume. Really great job!

Thanks Spooki! lol I got in a little over my head on the dress....had to have my mom finish the bodice. Then we ran out of time, so it didn't fit as well as it should've. Oh well.

My fav was the makeup.

I still have the magazine article on the face paint. If anybody is interested I can dig it out and scan it. (might take awhile to find )

I haven't decided on my costume yet, but I'm leaning towards a Lily Munster idea. I might make a few changes, shorter dress etc, maybe sexy it up a bit, but it depends if I change my mind!

That's a great idea, plus modernizing it.

Jackie that's a great costume!

Yes Jackie I am interested in the face paint article. You can pm me or send it to my e-mail. do you still have that e-mail if not let me know and I will pm you again with it.

Jackie that costume was great!! Love the story about the little girl and the spider on your neck, that's the sort of stuff I LIVE for!!

Spookilicious, that make up would be fabulous on you, you should give it a try.

Killed 2 spiders in my kitchen (I know shouldn't kill them, just reacted so quickly). The spiders are starting to haunt me.

Great dress jackielantern!

MrsMyers - my granny always said it would rain if you killed a spider! Jeez, in the north of England it generally rains. She also told me to hide under a table in a storm in case I got hit by lightning, can't see the logic there.

Mu costume for this year was going to be Nosferatu (as in the black and white film) husband vetoed the idea as it would scare him, hell he needs a good scare! I'd probably look more like uncle fester, so I've bought a red silk ball gown to be a vamp in!

Jackielantern, great costume, you looked awesome. The spider attachment is a cool idea to use for where you can't dress up!!
I was a spder lady, or what ever you want to call it last year, but, alas, no pictures, I had a grey long robe/coat I made ( remember it is for the campground, out side, need to maybe stick really warm clothing under it!), with webs and spiders attached to it, and me, a long silvery grey wig, and whitish/grey makeup. I have seen very glamourous spider queen costumes, but my reasoning is that spiders are in no way glamourous, have more of a Uck factor- (right MrsMyers?) so went with that.

Annea, a red ball gown for a vamp, that sounds cool!

I think this year I am going to be the Bride of Frankenstein, the theme is sorta classic monsters, so am thinking that, plus found a cheap dress at a thrift strore I might be able to modify to use, I'm not sure though, still in the thought process

I really have no idea.
I know I want something more Halloween- like. Last two years I was Little Red Riding Hood.
First it was a bat but now I have no idea. I really need to know what I want to be so I can start making it.

How about a 'bad' little Red Riding Hood?
I've always wanted to do an alternate version of a well known 'happy' character, so if I decided to go against my Munster idea, I'll probably choose one of the fairy story characters/Disney princesses and halloween-ify them!

here here! In the north of England(where I am) it's raining right now! no shock there! Never actually heard about the spider killing theory though!

I think that would look awesome! Can't wait to see the finished version! (or even unfinished)
