The Ghost of Halloween Past: 2009

HALLOWEEN IS COMING!!!!!!!  Guess what, Halloween is my favourite holiday!! I love to dress up and wear costumes. Since I have been frighteningly late to the party at posting anything lately, I figured that I might as well post some fun Halloween pictures from a couple years ago since I am planning to do some makeup pictures when I go out this weekend for All Hallows but it will probably be Christmas before I end up posting them.

Here are some Halloween pictures from 2009! I will unfortunately be wearing this costume again because my work schedule did not allow me the time to make a new costume for this year. I won't talk much about the makeup in this post; I am planning to do a makeup post for this costume with the makeup I do this year. Anyway, I try to party with my friend Tash (who you see pop up on this blog from time to time and who makes me awesome stuff) every Halloween since we both love making costumes and going out and being hot messes. We did a group theme for 2009: BATMAN VILLAINS!!!!

THE VILLAINS



Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, and The Joker

POISON IVY

I went as Poison Ivy, my favourite Batman character. I used to work in a plant sciences lab so it was kind of funny that way. I made a lot of parts of my costume, but since I am wearing it again this year, I will go further into those things in a later post.

TWO FACE

My life partner went as Two-Face. He painted one side of a black suit and tie white and wore a half black and half white wig. I did his makeup using a Kryolan Aquacolour palette with basic colours. I should have put more powder so it didn't wear off as easily but this was my first time doing makeup like this. Poison Ivy and Two-Face are together but Poison Ivy is also sometimes in love with Batman. This year, he shall be going as Batman.

HARLEY QUINN

She spilled her drink :(

Guess what? My friend SEWED THIS COSTUME HERSELF out of PVC!!! She even made covers for her boots (you can see them in pics further down). Do you know how hard it is to sew PVC? REALLY FREAKIN' HARD!! This costume came out AMAZING.

THE JOKER

The Joker was played by my friend's ex. He does not get his own picture.

ACTION SHOTS!



Who are those guys?



Is that blood?



We felt rather incomplete without a Batman. Eventually, we found one...



SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!!

What is everyone out there being for Halloween this year? What was your favourite costume that you've ever worn?
