Party at the Hiawatha Artist Lofts

I had a great time this weekend at my friends open house. We had a great time and saw lots of really amazing costumes, leave it to artists to be creative, there was an amazing zebra (who split first prize in the costume contest), a man dressed as Poe's Raven, but my favorite was worn by the Master of Ceremonies who wore a black robe, a mask with antlers and carried a white staff .

There were costume contests and prizes for both adults and children and the doors were thrown open to many of the artists personal spaces. I saw lots of really amazing art and met many really nice people.
Despite the fact that I was the most covered person in the running for sexiest contest I took first prize for sexiest with my demure (but tight) Cinderella costume. The prize was mostly candy which seemed destined to ruin that sexiest body that won in the first place. I had a lot of fun running around the building from top to bottom and hope that the rest of the Halloween season lives up to the precedent set by last weekend!

Got Through Another Birthday!

Well I made it through another birthday without too much trouble. I got to eat cheesecake, go belly dancing and watch an Alfred Hitchcock movie which is none too shabby. My presents are trickling in slowly as many of them were ordered over the internet but the one I am most excited about is one I got for myself a beautiful set of stacking rings in Sky Blue, Swiss Blue and London Blue topaz. They are lovely and I can't wait for them to show up.

I also made a trip to the pumpkin patch with my friends Mike and Dan to retrieve some heirloom pumpkins with which to decorate the house.. You would not believe the variety of colors that pumpkins come in!

I'm slowly putting together my costume for Halloween so stay posted for the final result but I purchased some lovely hair with which to dress up my head and an awesome leather cut out mask that I found on Etsy plus some nifty wings that I might throw in the mix.

I also decided to redo my entire wardrobe color scheme to grays, creams and greeny blues which I managed to do for a song at Value Village. God Bless Value Village!
