Hallowe'en photo fun

 I am having terrific fun. It's Hallowe'en and I have spent all afternoon accessorising my silver witch dress. There are many more looks to go but my laptop, my camera and I all need recharging now: they are having their electric juice snacks and I am having my dinner! I'm not sure I'm going to get everything done today. Tomorrow is a public holiday here and then there's the weekend so I may just have to spend four whole days being a cute witch for the camera. A TGirl's work is never done!

I'm feeling good, too. We've had four days of sunshine and warmth and I have been recovering from the seasonal affective disorder that was plaguing me last week. Indeed, today's burst of activity seems to be testament to some new-found energy. Thank you for the kind wishes following my last post.

So what shall I team my cobweb motif silver witch dress up with? I left some cobweb tights and elbow-length cobweb gloves back in London and I regret that now. But I do have some silver paisley pattern tights that were briefly in fashion about 12 years ago. Also for hosiery I have some fishnet stockings, some bold open pattern hold-ups, and some barely-black sheer tights that might work well. For footwear there are some high-heeled court shoes, ankle boots or knee-length boots, all in black. I have decided on red lipstick and nails, having rejected black or silver. I have the cheap silver wig bought specially but also an older and better quality somewhat goth-style ruby red and black wig. The hat that came with the cheap party dress is surprisingly good quality ... but is it best straight up, or with the tail bent? How about worn at an angle or straight? Should I look fierce, mean, sly or cutesy? I've been working through the combinations and now, 4 hours and 150 photos later, I and my kit have taken this break. I think I'll post some photos now just for fun and a more honed selection when I'm all done.

Cutesy fun :-)

I put a spell on you!

And on you back there!

Oops, gone cutesy again. Just can't help it. Burn the evil witch!

Showgirl!? Now you're just being silly!

Silver hat, silver hair, silver dress, silver tights. Have we struck gold?

A curse on this suspender!

Of course, we do need a break half way. The Porky Pig seems apt as I have neglected my slimming routine over the summer!

I'm quite liking my close-ups today, too. Sometimes I feel ugly; maybe today I'm having a blast and it shows.

You don't have to be in character all the time, though...

I like how I look here. Actually, I look very like one of the regular cashiers at my supermarket checkout who has bangs like this.

I think I look quite sweet, even pretty.

AAAGHH!!! A WITCH!!!

Lol. More to come. Do let me know which accessories work best in your opinion.

Whatever you're doing this evening, have a fun Hallowe'en. Don't eat too much candy!
