...guess who T is going to be for Halloween?
I was roaming Target at lunch, and came across this costume in the halloween section, which I immediately snatched up. There was just one in a size small.
T has been campaigning for a horendously expensive dress from Catching Fireflies. Its the Victorian Goth costume. Now, don't bet me wrong, I'm now above spending an outrageous amount of moola on a costume...if its cute. This one wasn't, and no amount of persuasion could get T to agree to the Carmen Miranda fruit on the head costume, nor the GoGo girl outfit. sigh.
Its started. T and I have different ideas of what is cute, and she's starting to assert herself more and more. So, I pulled a fait accompli, and just brought this one home. I think the head piece and the sequins won the day. Also the fact that its beige and in T's mind resembles a brides dress.
This costume is in honor of Aunt Ceci, b/c I happen to remember a certain halloween when she dressed up as Cleopatra. She was a bit oblivious, but you should have seen the guys falling over themselves to catch a glimpse of her, as we made our way (i think) to the bandshell. or was it a party? things are a bit fuzzy, and not just due to the passage of time!
Can't wait for halloween to come!

She looks great !! My motto - I let you look - but then viola - look what I brought home...it was like a kid in a candy store when we looked at them online - I want I want I want...oy vey
I have major costume envy!!! That headpiece is way fancier than my tin foil covered headband!
Does this mean that next year she will venture out as Medusa?

PS - I am so close to getting Gabs the go-go costume but the boots don't come in her size. As of today, I am making her wear her goth vampire costume again. Who knows what will happen tomorrow!
You were Medusa?? I was certain that it had been Cleopatra. I'll never forget your tin foil cobra headpiece. But apparently I'm forgetting everything else!
Shoot. We'll be medusa next year!
No - you were right! I was Cleopatra one year and the next I was Medusa. The snakes on my head were repurposed fishing worms. Remember? Although, I'm sure it may well be something you want to forget!

Is a history lesson required? Have you even explained who Cleopatra is? Am I going to have to conduct this history lesson. OR is this another Princess?
No lessen reqd. T knows she was a queen a long long time ago who has her own dance (walk like an Egyptian). Seems enough for her.
