Halloweekend: Day One Jackie O in Yaletown and a French Maid at the Waldorf

 

I am back now from my halloweekend of insanity. I am contemplating the difference between being alone and being lonely. I am recuperating by being self indulgent, staying cooped up in my apartment with take out and 9.8 percent coconut yogurt and hardly saying any thing to anyone and watching tv and trying to comfort myself in any small way that I can.

So these are photos I took using my terrible iphone camera, when I missed the ferry. I did the whole trip over to Vancouver dressed as Jackie O - the ferry, the bus, the skytrain, the bus again, all of it. Michelle met me downtown and we went back to her place in East Van so I could drop my bags off and freshen up. We took a cab to a party at her boyfriend's work in Yaletown.

Lucas is a videogame developer and it was a lovely party. As much free food and drink as a girl could handle and everyone had such creative and accurate costumes. There was a princess of power, ramona flowers, hunter s thompson and dwight shrute. I was very impressed. A couple of people thought Michelle and I were from Mad Men. I love the show as much as the next hipster but to think that anything from the 60s is just going to be indiscriminately attributed to mad men is a shame. Kids today. More after the jump...

Halloween Costume Ideas 2010








I've pretty much spent the last hour agonizing over what I'm going to be for halloweens (friday, saturday and sunday nights) this year. Luckily most of these costumes I can put together pretty easily. I will go shopping tomorrow and see what I can get together...

For those of you who don't know, I am in love with Halloween. Past costumes have included: Poison Ivy, Raquel Welch circa One Million Years BC, Dora the Explorer, Louise Brooks, Zombie Go-Go Dancer, Pris (Blade Runner).

Today, I had my first idea for this year's costume.

Louise Brooks

Vero lent me " Lulu in Hollywood" and Mandy is always blogging her, but I will be going as Louise Brooks for Halloween this year (one of my three planned costumes).
