I heart Halloween.

Okay, I admit it, I made it all the way to October 31st without assembling a costume, so this morning I threw on all the most elaborately Victorian stuff I could find in my closet, wrestled my hair into a straggly pouf, and went to town on the jewelry and pale makeup. It seems to be working so far, and at least five people have threatened to sneak into my room and steal my corset. But I totally did not have a specific character in mind, so every time someone asks me what my costume is supposed to be, the answer gets more elaborate.

Right now I'm an occultist madwoman who died of consumption in 1887 and was resurrected as a vampire due to my dealings with evil spirits. But I think most people just assume, due to the crazy hair and general stylized waifiness, that I'm movie!Lovett.

It sounds like an awesome costume, really. Have you taken any pictures?

Hahah for someone who threw together a costume the day of, that's pretty awesomely elaborate!

I'm trying to think of a character besides Mrs Lovett that'd work.. I'm sure there's loads. If you didn't put on jewelry you could be Jane Eyre. Although, I must admit, the woman dying of consumption in 1887 wins by far.
