Feeling Strangely Sexy...

I've been a fan of MSI since Jared introduced me to them at age 15. I had a huge crush on Jared(what else is new) and I wanted to get to know him and I knew that they were his favorite band, so I asked him to burn me some cds. After a bit he finally got around to it, and I eagerly went home to listen and was like "um." haha, they're not for the faint of heart. They're fun, inappropriate, distasteful, and all around great. Then all at once I was crazy about them and was buying their cds myself at Hastings. When I moved up to Alaska I remember back to school shopping and finding one of their shirts at Hot Topic and I was so stoked. That shirt helped me catch the eye of a lot of my future friends there who were into music just as weird as I was. So since my hair is purple, it finally dawned on me to recreate the cover art drawn by the amazing Jamie Hewlett from their album Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy:

You know me, any excuse to play dress up!

Target Haul

 I am a target affiliate, if you click ads, and make purchases accordingly I will be compensated.

My favorite month of the year is nearly upon us so you know that means stores are stocking up with what I affectionately call "Halloweenies" (Halloween products of any kind). My favorite being Target! Ever year I browse their selection so slowly, and end up leaving with much more than I meant to but its always worth it. Halloween is my favorite holiday, I can't help but go all out. Jared and I went a browsed a few days ago and here are a few things I left with!

This cutie modeling with all my goodies.

Lovely blanket(I want the ghost one too but I had to narrow it down to one).

I lost my H&M scarf and this looks a lot like it so I'm stoked.

Cute little decorating lights!

Cute little cards to give to coworkers :)

Some dingus trying to eat my twine. I'm going to string that up and use the clips to hang up instax photos!

Yawning, haha!

This is really too small for him but I couldn't pass it up!!

A new pumpkin collar from Boots & Barkley for my little pumpkin.

Spooky Nails

I've been calling them my crappy coffin nails, because nail art is hard. I tried to base them off of this pinterest photo but my hands are a little shaky and my utensils aren't top notch(ie: tooth picks or old paint brushes). Still that never stops me from trying to attain glory!

My mom got me that awesome solar dancing skeleton in the background! He's my pride and joy :)

These are from a few weeks before the coffin nails. I did little jack-o-lanterns on my accent nail, also with a tooth pick. They turned out much better haha.

What I Wore - Halloween Edition

Growing up, my favorite author was Rold Dahl. I ate up everything he'd written with a big spoon. As you may or may not know, a lot of his works got translated into films, which I also loved(though as a bookworm, I couldn't help but be miffed by inaccuracies). My all time favorite being James and the Giant Peach! It combined an excellent book with stop-motion, an art form I've long admired(re: obsession with the Nightmare before Christmas). I got the idea to be Ms Spider for Halloween a year or two ago, but couldn't execute it due to financial woes and my car breaking down. This year I was determined to make it happen, especially after I found the perfect beret at the thrift store without even looking for it specifically. I even got Jared to be Mr. Centipede with me!

And then here are some random not so high quality but still quality pics from the evening.

 My hooded eyelids make it hard to see the purple eyeshadow but it's there! Ahh I love this look, I wish I could wear this daily haha.

Halloween Decorating

Google added this effect and filter, and I kinda dig it!

As you probably know by now, Halloween is my favorite holiday. A few nights ago, I couldn't take it anymore, and I asked Jared to drag up the box of decorations so I could get into the spirit. Now I'm in full blown Halloween mode!

I told Jared to pretend to be a spider, hehe.

We got the inside set up as well.

Now all we need is some candy to pass out to trick-or-treaters and to work on our costumes! *Hums its the most wonderful time of the year*

My Wooly Mammoth!

Happy Halloween! Isn't Bufford's costume the greatest? He absolutely hates it, but I think he looks great, haha. Sadly we're not doing anything exciting tonight, but we're gonna make the best of it and dress up anyways. Its my favorite holiday and my plans fell through, but I'm not gonna let it get me down because life is great right now and I have a lot to look forward to!

Also, how about our pumpkin carvings, huh?! Mine is Boof, and Jared's is an alien named guyver(I guess its from an old tv show). 

I can't get over how cute Boof is! I hope he made you smile :)
