evanaeOh, man. I had quite a Halloween this year. I somehow ended up wearing three costumes, lol.
First, I went to Disneyland for Mickey's Not-So-Scary-Halloween or whatever the heck they call it now. It was my first time going so I was real excited even though I've been to the theme park before when decorated for the holiday. I went with a whole slew of us on the first day the event opened. We were all Kingdom Hearts characters, which was fitting and I also finally got to get going on Ventus, which is something I've wanted to do for a while now. I didn't get to finish everything, but it will be done sometime next year; I'm guessing Fanime? Either way, it was really neat to have a lot of the cast members recognize us though. Even some event goers gave us mad props. :D
Though, I'm sad to say that I didn't make it to the park before sundown and I think that really limited us on what we could do before closing time and it didn't help that some of us wanted pics everywhere. I only rode like four rides; Space Mountain was not included in that nor was The Haunted Mansion. The next time I go, I'm definitely riding the rides no matter what y'all say. I didn't pay the amount I did just to treat the park as a photoshoot location. No hard feelings, yeah?
From L to R:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gaarasyami, Tina, konishii, Blayze, kikyouluver, Sisy, and yours truly.
We're so srs bsns.
WHEN YOU SEE IT. D8 (Hint: To the left)
The rest are here.
Second, I was invited to the infamous White Base for a party on Saturday of Halloween weekend. I ended up being a GANGURO, HAHA. It was totally a last minute decision as I was leaning towards being lazy and rewearing my McGee's Alice from the year before, but I figure since I'm going to what was predicted as an epic party, I should get epic for it.
It took WAY longer than I thought it would to put the makeup one and it's not like I used a lot of different products. It was also quite gross putting that much cream stick concealer on your face. At one point, it totally looked more like I was a Cirque du Soleil extra until I tried to go more extreme...then it looked more right. Lol. I needed more jewelry, but didn't feel like spending more than necessary for things I'd never wear on a regular basis. Ah well.
I also didn't realize how unrecognizable I'd look in the makeup until I surprised and shocked everyone at the party cuz to me, it still looked like me kind of, hahaha. My fave reaction wasitsuka's. XD
What little photos I took are here.
Then, it was Halloween. I decided that I wanted to wear something to work that wasn't ganguro cuz I didn't want to sit around in that makeup for 8 hrs as much as it'd be HILARIOUS to see all the older fobby office lady's reactions. I ended up as some lolita doll thing...wearing my Suu wig, Speed Grapher button up shirt and Maka black tights with a skirt. Oh and I drew a heart on my lips. Yup. The people in the office were all like, "WAAHH!! HOW PRETTY!!" Still pretty amusing.
I totally forgot I had to go into the WHF Chinatown store to take product shots for the Christmas sales flyer...in costume. Whoops. Well, not that I REALLY cared. Then after work, Ben and I had a few friends over where we watch Silent Hill and Hocus Pocus (my brain's still reeling from Binx = McGee o.o).
It looks so fashion magazine-like. :O
Even with so many costumes, it was one of the funnest Halloweens I've had. I did so much! Haha. You're never too old to dress up and have some fun~

Date: 2011-11-10 07:12 am (UTC)I think I just went in with the mindset that I'd be going to the park as usual, the only difference being that I'm in costume and that I get candy. But I guess no everyone was thinking that...Ah well. There is always next time!
Speaking of which, may I commission the Ventus wig from you for Fanime if you're available?
no subject
Date: 2011-11-10 05:06 pm (UTC)Oh really? With the same wig you already have? I could probably do it over Winter break. Right now I have one commission that is due in February. But I could do it since Fanime is a long way off. Would I somehow deliver it to you instead of shipping? Shipping is like 20 with wig head. But if you had the wig already, wig head, I would only be charging a styling fee.

Date: 2011-11-14 02:16 am (UTC)Yeah, with the same wig, but you may have to watch out for that one shorter chunk I accidentally lopped off. :x I don't think I'm cut out for spikey wig styling if it's to the degree of complicatedness as Ventus/Roxas, lol. You go to USC, right? I can most likely pick it up from you there or from your house if it's somewhere in SoCal as well? And I have plenty of wig heads for you to use.

Date: 2011-11-14 03:46 am (UTC)ugh...I wish I made it earlier to the park too, and that we had more time for rides. Goal for another time, right?
no subject
Date: 2011-11-14 06:26 pm (UTC)If anything, I can drop wig head and wig off to you at USC after work whenever you're free. I work near Chinatown.
Oh, what would the estimate be for the styling just so I know?
no subject
Date: 2011-11-14 06:29 pm (UTC)Yeah, definitely. And maybe easier costumes...Lol. I was thinking either Ping sans armor or Edna Mode, haha.

Date: 2011-11-14 08:31 pm (UTC)Hmm fee around 35 - 40. Have to see his hair in a better picture. He looks like his has a lot of spikes.

Date: 2011-11-16 07:02 am (UTC)Okay, that's fine. Yeah...he's got a crazy head of spikes...Swirly porcupine....
