Happy Hallowe'en!

Since Hallowe'en is on a Sunday this year, my friends and I went out Friday and Saturday. On Saturday, I went all out: I made a gypsy costume and did my face up in the style of gypsy-sugar skull tattoos. I was super pleased with how it turned out :) I got a bunch of compliments through the night.

My full costume, at the end of the night.

I was super grateful to my friend Mike who kept me company while I put all that make up on, then took pictures of the costume for me so I could remember it :)

Gwaaarrrrrr

The Halifax Pop Explosion is going on right now, and last night I went to see one of the less "pop"-y acts. Gwar and the Casualties played at our local, seedy, club [The Palace]. It was a weird venue, but the concert was crazzzy good. I really like The Casualties, and I had heard about the ridiculous shows Gwar puts on, so going was a bit of a must. The girl I went with had seen them before and said, "I don't think everyone should go see a Gwar show: I think everyone needs to see a Gwar show."

The Casualties were everything I could have hoped for. So punk.
Gwar was so messy and theatrical. Lovelovelove.
Here are some of the better shots I got at the show;

Gwar!

Me at the end. So much fake blood.

When I took out my contacts at the end of the night they were pink.

They had a Lady Gaga costume, and I wish I had a good picture. They ripped her tits off. It was awesome.

Escape

I've been feeling so demotivated lately, and today was especially bad. Waking up with no power and no food in the house isn't a great start, and my pasta just boiled over hardcore and almost made the smoke alarm go off. So now I'm sitting in the living room getting chillier and chillier because the door is open to air out the house.
I can't wait to get out of the city this weekend and go up to visit St FX. I'll bring my camera, maybe I'll get some pictures worthy of the interwebs; their campus is really pretty.

Jewelry by Stella & Dot

My step-mum had a jewelry party the other week and I picked up some gorgeous necklaces and a super sweet brooch. The company is called Stella & Dot and their website is definitely worth browsing through!

And awesome packaging!!

The middle two are bees, and the lady selling them said nobody ever buys the bees... why not?? They're so pretty!
