Halloween 2011

Hello lovelies..
So monday is our Team Building and Luncheon 'Halloween Edition' at work; and as such, we (or the powers that be) have decided to do a costume luncheon and at the end, choose the best costume for a prize.  I have been wracking my brain over what to wear since I've never really been big on Halloween before.  I've never been big on it, I usually just skip to the holidays.

Since this is a work function however, I've sort of been forced to participate for the spirit of it...and i am glad to oblige.  I promised myself however that I wasn't going to spend alot for my costume this year--and of course nothing raunchy, it would have to be work appropriate anyways due to the fact that it's a work-related lunch...I thought of a few costumes and this is what I've decided....

What are you dressing up as!?

It's that time again....no, not christmas, at least not yet.

It's halloween!

Candy apples, fright night train rides, and costumes! =) I'm admittedly not too big on the whole celebrating it...I'd much rather skip to the holiday season.  Alas, it's just as much of a big kid thing as it is a little kid's.

I was thinking of dressing up as a nurse this year for my work halloween lunch thing.  I prefer to stick to occupational costumes--less hassle to dress up as, and chances are you can incorporate your normal office clothes into the costume itself. 

Then the other day my co-worker and i went to Spirit Halloween near Metrotown and omg, they have the funkiest of costumes! (does anyone use the word funky anymore?!?lol)

I narrowed down my choices into three...which coincidentally was similar to my co-worker's choices!

check out my choices!

At the movies...sucker punch'd!

I recently watched the movie 'Sucker Punch' with my boyfriend thinking it was a different concept from what I actually watched.  Everyone had mentioned how sucky it was and that it was not worth my time--after I already watched it! lol.  Although it wasn't bound to win any Oscars, it did have great action stunts (all i'm sure graphically enhanced) and nice costumes lol.  Oh please! I know every girl will want to dress like one of these girls on Halloween.  It's like the Bratz dolls, except they can kick ass!

Halloween: Playing dress-up never gets old!

Wow, time is going by fast! 

In a blink of an eye, September is over and October is just around the corner!

With Oktoberfest beer and bratwurst celebrations come the much-anticipated day for youth and adults alike, Halloween!  I bet just like Christmas, people take a month or even two in advance to plan out the perfect costume for trick-or-treating or for a party!


It's weird how children and younger adolescents prefer to out-scare each other with their costumes and crazy but unique tricks, but in adults, the women tend to try to out-sex each other with naughty costumes while the boys try to oust each other in who would look either more ridiculous or dress up in childhood figures like storm troopers or superheroes like superman or spiderman.  Whatever the choices, it's fun to be someone else entirely for one night....

I guess that's somewhat the allure of dressing up, your imagination comes alive in the costume of your choice...For one night, you don't have to be afraid of being as weird or silly even as scary as you wish.
