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!!!

Happy Halloween to you as well my dear.

Thank you for your compliment!

Isn't it though! I'm always begging people to email me pics they;ve taken of me, but alas...

Date: 2006-11-01 11:44 am (UTC)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

Date: 2007-01-26 07:47 am (UTC)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!

Date: 2007-01-26 09:06 pm (UTC)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...
Date: 2007-01-26 09:20 pm (UTC)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
