Zemoween Weekend!

Halloween or Zemoween as we like to call it was wonderful this year, to start things off, Friday I celebrated my 28th birthday with dinner and pumpkin ale with my best buds. Saturday we took it easy carving pumpkins and watching some horror flicks. Later that night, we got all dolled up as Rocky and Adrian and went to our tattoo artist's house for a costume party, which was a riot with Bruce's funky dance moves. Some of the best costumes of the night were the Bride of Frankenstein and Michael Phelps and with his side kick girlfriend who was dressed as his bong. We finished the night by heading to Home Grown Cafe, best costume there was Bret Michaels. The whole night we were hearing, “Yo Rocky" and “Yo Adrian!”

October was splendid month and I must say 31 Part Two: Zemo's Revenge was absolutely awesome. Some of my favorite films we watched were The Exorcist, Near Dark, Hellraiser, The Fly, Rosemary's Baby and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; I'm really looking forward to next year especially since we will have plenty of room to spook up our new house.

Trick & Treats: Halloween Ideas

Halloween is my all time most cherished season of the year, I'm feeling a little bummed this year because I can't decorate my house due to packing and mayhem. Every year we usually throw a Halloween costume but this year we are heading over to our friends house for an awesome time, I actually lending some of my paintings for the haunting decor. Bruce and I are being a little creative again this year, but not saying who were are going to be, but check out these sweet vintage cat eye glasses that I got for my costume!

Even though there is no sign of halloween at my house, I still love looking at all the lovely decorating ideas from Martha Stewart and who cannot forget fabulous treats that would make snacks for any party. There is always next year I guess!

I just covet all of her hand spun cotton figurines for every season. I really love her Halloween collection, including this Orange and Black Bat Girl Figure.
