Bright Idea

This is the kid's Halloween costume - quite a production, let me tell you...

And here's the rig:


What you can't see is the metal construct (coat hangers, reshaped) that supports the glow sticks. The faux tungsten filament was sewn on in numerous spots, very messily. And those jeans are actually a shade of gold!

You have to trust me, it was quite something on the trick or treat circuit.

Barbie Like You've Never Seen Her

My child made the creepiest Halloween Barbie in a Box evah! I so wish I had a photo of the kid actually in the box - which said amazing things like "Now with Brains" and "Comes with Free Hand (Bag)". You'll just have to content yourself with a couple of photos of her scary-ass make up! (Note: She went trick-or-treating in another neighbourhood with friends and had to take the subway to get there. The box was way to big to wear on public transit, so she brought it with her, on the side.)
