The Pitters' Place

I decided to do a DIY costume inspired by the street rat version of Aladdin.

Never really been a fan of Halloween, aside from seeing girls dressing really slutty so I won't be doing anything. Although it seems to be quickly catching on in the UK, I still don't think it's as big a holiday here as the US.

Doubtful, but my son is dressing up as a spooky skeleton pirate thingy. Like in Pirates of the Caribbean when the pirates get all ghost-y. Pretty sweet.

I hate dressing up. Never do anything for Halloween.

A woman at my new work who's training with me hates Halloween more though as she has some sort of phobia about not being able to see a persons face. Like if she sees people in masks, or say she's at a theme park where they have mascots in full outfits, she feels sick. Halloween will be interesting at work as people apparently like to dress up.

I never used to do anything for Hallowe'en but we have a Hallowe'en event where I work so I always go and dress up. I'm not sure whether I'll be able to go this time (Dad still isn't driving) but if I can, then I'm going as Maleficent. Jolie Maleficent not animated Maleficent, mostly because no one has time to spend the next three weeks scraping green makeup out of their ears. I love dressing up, I would wear a costume every day if I could (I usually do, it is one called Functioning Adult). The only thing more fun than dressing up is making your costume.

In other words you're playing a victim who relegates what should be her most badass moment to a man rather than playing the mistress of all evil.

Maleficent not turning into a dragon herself was the only thing about that film that made me really angry. Of course, I will also not be turning into a dragon at Hallowe'en (probably?) so I feel like Jolie Maleficent will be easier to emulate. I will be cursing babies though.

I have a baby shower the day after Hallowe'en so I feel like I must remember to stop my baby cursing before then.

So long as you use the 1959 version of the curse.

For those not privy to my facebook...

That is excellent. I had to miss my party so no dress-up for me.

Thanks. I would go shirtless and show off my shocking lack of abs, but the gathering is at a restaurant & it's cold outside.

I had to put sweat pants underneath because the other pants were a bit too transluscent when sitting

I hope you at least stole bread from the restaurant and ran away over the rooftops while people sang at you.

Me I've been sick since thursday! so no halloween for me :(

Love teh costume Alladin!

Sadly no bread & the rooftops are too far apart for such antics. But the gathering is a karaoke meetup, so technically people are singing at me.

I sang "Friend Like Me" because they didn't have "One Jump Ahead".

Sorry to hear you're sick. Thanks. It took me all of 20 minutes putting it together (the shirt was a bitch to cut)
