2 days. I can guarantee you it will still be nice for Halloween. I'd always done mine the night of the 30th.
You can get away with longer, especially if it's cool out (but probably not below freezing at night). Closer to Halloween though, the more likely your pumpkin will be fresh.

Ant Person/Sex Person with style elements nabbed from Kings of The Wild Frontier. I'm gonna be extra ambitious and try for the antenna on the Ant logo but I dunno where to start for the material besides the necessary durable wire.

So I bought black linen and purple heavy satin for my costume.
Damn, is that linen scratchy... Going to wash the new-fabric sizing out of it and hopefully make it softer.
(Any tips on softening linen?)

Well, the theme at work is "Prohibition Ends" (appropriate, as I work in a bar), so...

Snazzy!
The party I'm going to wants a drinking game, so I'm trying to convince them to do the Stephen King drinking game. Probably won't watch IT though, maybe The Shining?

I'm going to get some blackface, find some wig with long black dreadlocks, get an oversize shirt, sunglasses, and gold teeth and gold chains. I'd need to find a chalice though...

I have a friend who I had to talk out of going as black face Kanye West a year or two ago. I think his plan this year is to go as Obama, but I think this year I'm just going to let him and read about the imminent beating on facebook.

Going to Moonfest the day before with some friends and possibly going to a show at a friends' house party on Halloween.
I don't know about a costume, thinking Orange. Clockwork Orange.

I was going to be a vampire, but of course my mom can't afford anything and I have no outfit -.- so I might just sit at home and watch scary movies on the AMC channel.

Gonna be a candle. Wearing a white top, and a gold pencil skirt that flares at the hips. Gold stockings, gold flats. And a white pillarbox type hat with a fake flame on top.

Going to the night club in the next city over dressed as Misa from Death Note. Should be fun, Corp generally has a really good atmosphere at Halloween.

He missed a ton of things he could have drank to though. The main character being a writer is probably the most glaring one.

Yesterday at the Zoo went rather well. My littlebat was Cinderella and I was her fairy Godmother as planned. I couldn't find a tiara for myself, and lots of people thought I was just a plain old fairy. Maybe this afternoon I can find one, but it would be just for the Trick or Treat down our street after dinner tonight so I don't think it would be worth the effort.
Anyway, here we are at the Zoo...
If our costumes turn out better tonight I might post a new pic, but you guys get the idea =)
Happy Haunting! Be safe gnet!

God, I slept so much today. I think I'm going to go get greasy hangover food (not really hung over but shhh) and watch Hitchcock movies for the rest of the day :3

And I added in the bow tie like ophelia said. I guess I do not look like a mime any more...

Thanks Onyx.=)
I decided to wear my black velvet dress instead of the green lace for going around the neighborhood. It was evening, and chilly, and that lace was thin!
My princess had such a fun time this weekend! She will get one piece of candy to take to school, and one piece after dinner if she eats well for all this week then I will donate the rest of the candy somewhere. Will probably leave it on some random counter top at my school.

Saturday night: HUGE basement show, something like 12 bands, doing awesome cover sets, lots of beer. Then I went to a midnight screening of 28 Days later.
Surprisingly, I couldn't find any decent parties the night of Halloween; everyone had their parties Saturday.
This Friday, I'm having a Guy Fawkes party. It's gonna be great. I'm making Irish Car Bomb cupcakes, we're having a bonfire, and we're getting totally smashed.
