Happy Halloween!!! :D

[thrihyrne]

Yes, for all who love this holiday as I do, and boy do I love to dress up, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Yet another reason why I love my job: today happens to be our all-library staff Dean's Coffee over at the main library. They're having a costume contest. I'm in my Éowyn gown, which I can never seem to actually put under an lj-cut, but perhaps I'll try again. I'd better win something. :P But mostly, I love wearing this dress, as it is quite dreamy and I feel like Éowyn, that I'm intelligent and caring and private and can kick ass and I'm a force to be reckoned with. Plus I just look really good in green velvet.

At any rate, here's a link to the website where I found all kinds of help when I was researching this dress, and it has some pics of me in it. If pictures are taken today, I'll post them; now that I live alone, it's a bit hard to get pictures of myself.

Happy celebrating!!!

yes you do! gorgeous.

now that I live alone, it's a bit hard to get pictures of myself.

you know, i have the same problem even though i don't live alone. it's because i'm the only one who ever takes any bloody photos! oh except the kids and most of the photos they take of me shall NEVER EVER see the light of day....

yes you do! gorgeous.

Aw! Thanks. I would think that pictures taken by kids often aren't the best; then again, I can't seem to keep my eyes open in many pictures either.

Happy Halloween, my dear! *huge hugs*

(((hugs))) back to you!

Gorgeous dress! And happy Hallowe'en.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I did win a small prize, but there were actually all kinds of people in costume with some very clever ones. But mine was the prettiest. ;)

Hey, beautiful! Happy halloween yourself! *HUGS*

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Back at you! Happy Halloween and hugs to you!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! :) :) :)

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

You too! :D :D So fun with kids, especially.

what a gorgeous dress!!! I have never been much for costume making but this dress and the ones Becca/Sailingwest wear are so beautiful I might get creative and encouraged this next year

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Yes, Becca's are gorgeous. You should've seen our group for the midnight opening night of The Two Towers! We were nearly all in costume and we looked fabulous, dahling. :)

Did you win anything? Surely at least for doing it all yourself you should win something. You look gorgeous as I've said before.

Alas, Halloween wasn't so happy here. Three, count them...three kids in total came to our house. At least I have tons of candy to eat...lol.

Happy Halloween to you as well my dear.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Well, other people were more creative imaginatively, though their costumes weren't hand-fabricated. I did end up with a small set of pumpkin-shaped playing cards!

Only three trick-or-treaters? Aw... I was at my parents', having dinner, doing betaing and laundry, but they had a good number. I had so much sugar yesterday that today I'm just having fresh fruit and veggies. :P

Thank you for your compliment!

Again, you look positively lovely in your dress. Me thinks you are positively lovely. Period.

now that I live alone, it's a bit hard to get pictures of myself.
Isn't it though! I'm always begging people to email me pics they;ve taken of me, but alas...

*hugs*

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Hey you! Thank you for the e-card... nice and scary!! :D Thanks for the compliment; it is a lovely dress, and I've been known to look so on occasion. ;)

About the pics- that can be an issue, can't it? I have almost no pictures of me from 2005, but it was also a very rough year. And it does seem funny to want to get a tripod just to have pictures of one's self. :P

[wolfiekins.livejournal.com]

Your dress is beautiful. Amazing craftsmanship! And you're gorgeous in it as well!

Glad you had a good day...

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! :blush: It was a fun day, though I was a bit surprised that I didn't get more 'favorite costume' votes. Oh well.

Eowyn

[koshweasley.livejournal.com]

I love the picture of Eowyn climing the tree. I've now added two more pics to my LoTR file. Now in the rotation.

*hugs*

Re: Eowyn

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Thanks for that!! I love the thought of coming up in rotation with some other of your yummy male pictures. I should ask you where you found some of those; I feel a bit pervy doing a google search on attractive gay males. ;)

Re: Eowyn

[koshweasley.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm, maybe I can remedy that. Bugger, I could have simply transferred my files to you laptop while you were here. *hangs head* No idea of a certain site, just all over.

Really gorgeous dress! ♥ the green velvet.

I came over to check you out from Wolfie's, I think we have the same b'day, perhaps? Or maybe it was another reason.

Anyhow, hi!

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Hi to you! I've put you on my flist now. :)

Thanks for the comment about the dress; I feel so regal when I wear it. And it's surprisingly comfortable.

I *think* I've got you on my flist now...

[verdenia.livejournal.com]

lj is being weird! When I do the hover-thing, it still says 'add friend', but then when I click on the big link, it goes to 'modify friend'.

Dresses that are regal and comfy are so great. I've got one kinda like that in ivory stretch velvet that I got for half price from hot topic a few years ago that I love. It's a bit long, sadly, but s'okay. [and the hemline is awfully complicated to mod it.] Heels seem to be the way to go. And/or scrunching it up at the waist, and/or loaning it to tall friends. ;P

Cheers! ;D
