I Love Dressing Up!!!!

Halloween is just around the corner!!!  What I love best is the opportunity to dress up...become a character for the day....revert back to being a child!!!  Lol!!!  Just doesn't get any better than that!!

Over the years I've managed to find some pretty great costumes and before Halloween became politically taboo for schools, I dressed up for my students!!!  During those days I became a witch, Raggedy Ann, a unicorn, Tigger, a Gypsy, a Candy witch, Clifford the Big Red Dog, an M&M, Dorthy....you get the idea!! 

In recent years, we've been to Halloween parties for our Harley Owners Group...I even managed to get Harley Man to dress up (quite a feat I must say).  There's nothing better than being with friends who love to dress-up as much as I do!!!  Alas, this year we won't be celebrating at a Halloween party..instead we'll be joining in the "Tourpak or Treat" I mentioned in my post yesterday.  So I've been searching for just the right costume to wear while delivering those treats to young and old.  Part of dressing up means finding just the right makeup to complete the costume!!!

I stumbled upon Kandee Johnson, a professional makeup artist and I think she does an awesome job.  Wish I'd found her site some time ago!!!  So...today I wanted to share that source with you because.......Halloween is just around the corner, folks!!!!!!!!!!  What are you going to be dressing up as this Halloween????????????

Seriously?! Thursday...Take 8

Seriously???!Shopping with my daughters is such a treat these days!!!  Gone are the days of  "Are we finished?", "I'm tired!", "Can't we just go to the toy department?", etc.(complaints that came from them when they were much younger)  No longer a chore, shopping is now an adventure we all love!!

Seriously???!Not sure what is going on with Dancing With The Stars this season????  Good dancers are voted off....not so good dancers are voted to stay!!!  Seriously...what's up with this, ABC?????

Seriously???!I love costumes!!!  Yep, it's true!  So yesterday I went to Spirit Halloween to check out some costume ideas I have for the Tour Pak or Treat Day we're having on October 29th.  Now, I'm sure those cute tiny little costumes teens love to wear are perfect for them (I don't think so) but can't they stock at least some really cool costumes that are more appropriate when giving out candy to little ones????  I mean, seriously....I need to cover my "bootie" for lots of reasons!!!
