Costumes!

A Pirate and Skrillex                                  

As promised! Here are our costumes. Now I ended up not being Katy Perry because I already had this pirate costume in my closet. (I bought it last year but wasn't able to wear it because I got sick!) I wasn't able to find this exact costume on Amazon, but I did find this version, which is pretty similar. I think the detail that makes it stand out from other pirate costumes is the petticoat. Most people would skip this detail but I think it really helps the costume. This petticoat is really affordable and well worth the money. (Trust me.) I was able to find a red one, but white or black would work well.  I already had the boots and fishnet stockings but added this pirate hat.  As for accessories, I added a skull and crossbones necklace. The costume came with a neck tie but I didn't like it as much. Or add some cocktail rings for extra bling. Now you're ready to go!

Skrillex and Katy Perry Halloween Costumes for 2012

Looking for a halloween costume?

Shop Amazon - Halloween Shop

It's that time of year again! Halloween parties are happening now and it's crucial to come up with a great costume that hasn't been done.

While brainstorming, my husband mentioned he wanted to be Skrillex as a joke. Overall, it's a pretty easy costume to make using items he already owns.

Need:
nerd glasses
fake gauge earrings
fake lip piercings
black t shirt
black skinny jeans

I ordered this wig and these glasses for him. He will wear all black and add his own DJ headphones. We also found these fake gauge earrings that will complete the look.   

I like to go as a couple and wasn't sure how to incorporate my costume into that. Then I saw a (fake?) headline today saying that Skrillex is dating Katy Perry. She has so many great costumes, the wheels in my head started turning!

After a quick search, my favorite costume is the cupcake costume.

Need:
dress or colorful shorts and top
wig
thigh highs
cute pumps
glitter microphone
candy accessories.

I already have a purple wig that I bought 10+ years ago.  I came across this Katy Perry Cupcake costume. Perfect! I will add the stockings, glitter microphone, a smarties necklace and maybe some candy rings. I'm all set!  Can't wait for everything to arrive. Will post photos soon!

Spring Awakening














Spring Awakening recently descended upon Orange County. I had the pleasure of getting a ticket last minute.

I knew nothing about the musical so I downloaded the soundtrack. Was pleasantly surprised to learn the music was by Duncan Sheik and very edgy. I also read the wiki so I had a better idea of what to expect.

Spring Awakening was written in 1891 by German author, Frank Wedekind.  It pretty much touches on everything awkward, taboo and interesting.  It features sex, nudity, abortion, child abuse and suicide.  While I consider myself to be very liberal, I found the nudity didn't really add anything to the play.  They could have done everything exactly the same, while keeping their clothes on, and it would have been just fine.

When did I get so conservative?

That being said, the musical was very relevant today though it was written 120 years ago. Apparently, not much has changed! I really enjoyed the music and would still be listening to it on my iPod if it weren't December and Christmas music playing non-stop.

If you have the chance, you should go see it. It has a lot of great points about sexuality and what is really important in the long run.
