My Halloween Look for 2010 - Tim Burton's Corpse Bride: Emily

My interpretation of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride

First off, I just want to say that this costume was totally spontaneous. We were at Winner's when it was decided that I'm no longer doing the Grudge Lady and switching off to the corpse's bride. My friend YY was the one who spotted this kid's size 12 gown and I was convinced to try it... and it fits! It is a beautiful white dress with a very puffy bottom, but it is about 6 inches too short... (at least I'm taller than a 12 year old!!)

Next, we proceed to working on my head piece, since Emily has blue hair, I decided to find a wig... upon searching online I realized that the online stores are all out of stock for a decent priced blue wig.... BOOH!!! I would have gone with my natural black hair.... if I didn't find the 'Candy Girl' wig at Spirit Halloween the day after!! (I think it would have worked... right??)

To complete the bride look, I used some mini clips (in place of a tiara) and a squared neck scarf to make the veil... It worked :)

To create the bony arm on Emily I cut up some paper bones and taped it onto my black shirt and connected the shirt to the skeleton glove I had with a black hairtie. Because Emily had a pair of ripped white long gloves on her, I was able to cover up the part where the two meet with it. It was perfect! I also noticed that she had loose blue skin on her right ankle so I decided to put on a pair of blue socks to imitate it... :)

The final piece that I had worked on was the bouquet, although I know that her bouquet was not blue and purple... but it was the only ribbons I had avaiable to me at 10pm that night... so it will have to do... I made the 5 roses and taped it to a small pen I had and wrapped it with the green tape... The bride now has her bouquet, and it ready to chase her groom.... mukakakkakaka :D

Oh... and the makeup took 2 hours to apply the next day... :D I got this white cream makeup from the dollar store to create the white canvas.... although next time I do this, I will know the let it dry completely before applying makeup :)

Lastly, if you want to do this makeup check out audfaced on Youtube. I got the instructions from her video :)

Costume still not ready... 10.5 hours till work....

:| dead meat!! dead!!! :| I changed my idea last minute and I am no longer going to be the Grudge lady... hopefully tomorrow's costume would be okay :)

Post pictures up or not?? hmm??

for Halloween

So for work at Halloween this year I decided I will be.... *drum roll*

The Grudge Lady!

The look is simple... and I can ALWAYS do raccoon eyes! Now I just gotta find some white face makeup, white night gown, and maybe a long black wig.... OOOH shopping is going to be fun! :D

1st Halloween Weekend w. Em!

Setting: Work
Mood: :D happi
Thought: I'm so glad I got an extra hour of sleep :D

:D it's already Halloween before I knew it~ We spent the morning running errands/paying bills, but we finally got around to trying the sausages we eyed last weekend at Dixie Outlet! Em tried the mild Polish and I had the honey garlic. Loved it. The flavor was actually different... Although Em said that his wasn't spicy enough... Of course... he put so much stuff on his i'm not sure if he can taste the sausage at all... hehe... When we were eating the sausages there were a lot of zombies walking around... I thought I was in the middle of a film or sth... but no... it was Zombie Madness and people donated money to get their faces painted... a lot of them were dancing to Thriller whenever it was playing... very interesting experience. I want to try it out next year, and I will be dressed for the occasion :D

a recent picture of us :D

Sunday we finally tried the new Cora near eMs. We shared a western Crepomelette and cheese + ham panini, plus some toast and lots of fruits... Lots of vitamin C's today :D

I finally took a picture of when we go 'walk' the dogs... honestly it feels more like 'walk the humans' Jobi and Guru pull sooo much... but by the end of the walk they were more relaxed.... As eM and I leave to go to Costco, Jobi kept whinning and stuck her head out of the fence... she wanted to walk some more! it looked soo silly... thought I'd share it on my blog... (note: she managed to get her head out)

BIG wanton for lunch... 4 of them is TOO much plus the noodle. I guess i can't really eat that much...

We spent the afternoon suit shopping for Em at Moore's, it was an interesting experience, I've never spent so much time in a store that doesn't have things for girls... :D It was fun, he ended up getting two nice suits with shirts and ties and... cufflinks! :D (I didn't know my man was SOO handsome in a suit ;) haha... he's just tooo cute...)

Halloween soon! :D

Mood: tummy pain T^T

Thought: I'm ready for Halloween!

Since there's no Halloween party this year I decided to dress up for it at work... today! This means I had to wake up 45 mins earlier to prep for the makeup... It took me nearly an hour of work! The first picture on the bottom was taken because I can't see without my glasses.... and I wanted to check to make sure my foundation was applied evenly. Then the second picture was taken at work with my dress... I was going for the 'marionette' look... but it seems I look more like a vampire T^T maybe I should do a full lip instead... oh well... Now I'm looking at the makeup... I'm worried that the eyeliner won't come off and my skin would just absorb it all... lols.... I guess I will find out tonight! On a brighter note... I got some treats from Al and Mel :D I'm happy~
