SHOOTING STAR

What to be for Halloween? I contemplate this question every year. I think I’m a pretty creative person, but every every year as October approaches, I come up with the same thing… anything that I can wear with one of my tutus. I love tutus! I’m not sure where my fascination comes from, but tutus are FABULOUS! Maybe it’s because I’m a girly girl or maybe it stems from my early days as a ballerina, I don’t know.

Anyways, this year is no different. After much thought, I decided to stick with what I know and go with something in my closet (a bee... with a black tutu or an angel… with a white one).

But last Sunday, I was sitting at the farmers market eating a corn on the cob and I over heard a girl talking about all of her ideas for costumes. My ears perked up. She was fantastic and had millions of ideas. Then I heard one that was perfect for me (and my tutu). Thanks to this girl at the farmers Market, I decided to be a SHOOTING STAR this year.

I rushed down the block to American Apparel and bought a silver leotard, silver legging and silver headband. Next stop was the costume store where I picked up two star wands (which I glued with crazy glue to my bee costume antennas) and tons of glitter makeup and hair spray. All I need now are two big, silver guns and a holster to carry them and I’m all set. Get it?? A SHOOTING (guns) star (shiny silver)!!

Whether you wear a tutu or not, it’s always fun to dress up because Halloween in FABULOUS!

Ooo... and in the end I opted for no tutu... Still fun! Still FABULOUS!
