Alas, we are broke
I had epic plans for Halloween this year (by which I mean that I had plans at all for Halloween), but the need to actual buy plane tickets to go home for Christmas has stymied them. Damn you, adulthood! Damn you!
Let’s all pause for a moment to mourn the Vaguely Gothic Fairy costume that I was going to march down Sixth Avenue in. On the plus side, the parade’s at 8:30 pm on the last day of October, and I probably would have frozen my ass off.
The linchpin of any fairy costume: Purple and Silver Fairy Wings, $20 at Ricky's
So awesome. On the other hand, traveling on three trains with them was pretty much guaranteed to be a pain in the ass.
A skirt long enough to prevent flashing: Black Tulle Tutu, $25 at Sisters of the Moon Design
I may eventually get this anyway, just because it’s that kickass.
Black Turtleneck (It’s October in New York, people), fishnet stockings, Doc Martens, and perhaps most importantly:
Purple Eyeliner: Rockstar, $17 at Urban Decay
On the other hand, I’m not sure I could bring myself to spend that much money on eye makeup anyway.
