Halloween Jack Part 3

The costumes...


Martyn as Halloween Jack.


Me as Marc Bolan.



Glam Fight.



Those two are actually pictures from last year, I didn't get any photos of the Justice League costumes this time around. We wore them to a Trader Joe's party at a bowling alley and then to Intermezzo's afterward. Devon was with us as Hawk Girl again.



I love this series of photos from the Corner Tavern last Saturday, but I still wish I got a decent full body shot of the Sarah and Jareth costumes this Halloween. Again, here's some crappy ones from a few years ago, when we had lame wigs and no wigs at all.



Pretty pretty petticoat!

Halloween Jack Part 2

All the time I was working on Jack I was also carving pumpkins and getting costumes together. Since Halloween pretty much lasts all month here in Little Five Points, Martyn and I went through our selection from previous years so we would have multiple costumes to wear. You see, this past July we were spending all of our time and money on moving to this apartment so we couldn't start making new costumes as usual. By the time we were really moved in it was mid-late August and that left us with simply not enough time...we really like Halloween. Luckily we each had three costumes that had not yet been seen in Little Five.

Our pumpkins:


Martyn was so excited to carve a pumpkin--he'd never made one all by himself.


Inside he found...GUTS!


This is me. I hadn't carved a pumpkin since I was like five.


I discovered it's hard work, but fun!


Ew, guts.


Our pumpkins outside as we got ready to see Where the Wild Things Are.


This is my pumpkin. It's Aladdin Sane.


Close up:


This is Martyn's pumpkin, Bender.


And a close up:


We even custom designed the smoke chimneys in the lids, cause we're awesome.
