Costume pictures, take 1

For those of you who haven't seen (I keep forgetting there are people who read my journal and perhaps not those of all my friends... :-)

Happily, coraline took some pictures of the Oct. 26th parties that included my Maenad costume.

Though I'm near the bottom of the stack on that page (as I arrived lateish), so if you're dialing up, you might skip to this shot. (That's coraline dressed as a Dryad; when I walked into the party, I was immediately told "Oh, you two have to get a picture together!")

So, three parties down -- and at least two more to go on Nov. 2 :-)

inspired by coraline and mangosteen...

I went out at lunchtime and got stompy boots!

For $25! (Okay, they're from Parade of Shoes, so they're not the greatest boots in the world. But they came in size 11 and they were on double sale and my other black boots have sprung a leak. So.)

They're actually pretty similar in style to the pair(s) I picked up for jessruth at Penny Lane, but in black (and in my size and price range ;-)

And as a side benefit, they also happen to make me 6'1". Consider yourselves warned >:-)
