Halloween 2008

Halloween is my favorite day of the year. I really think I enjoy it more than Christmas. This is mainly for the reason you'd probably expect - I love dressing up. The majority of my friends are artists, photographers and models (not professional lah dee dah ones though!) and we all enjoy dabbling with a bit of clothes making and experimenting with makeup. So Halloween gives us a chance to have a group project, sewing and shopping for unusual bits and bobs for a month beforehand. This year I was meant to be dressing as a peacock. I spent ages (and lots of money) on making a full tail of feathers and perfecting the hair cut on a peacock blue wig. I ...  Read the complete review

I feel I should add something about Halloween...as today is...Halloween! This is the first time I've been in America for Halloween, so I'm extra specially excited. Although when I was younger, we had American friends who used to take us on to the 'Greenham Common Airbase' to go 'Trick or Treating', and that was like stepping into America in itself (my friends at school were so jealous when I brought in all the American sweets that hadn't made it over to England by that point, don't worry, I shared them around) but this, actually being in America, is different. This whole day is going to be like no other Halloween, and I'm going to tell you ...  Read the complete review

Today myself and my nine year old granddaughter have been planning our Halloween party. I wasn't planning on doing anything for Halloween as the event doesn't particuarly interest me, but the girls' are going to be staying with me Halloween night as their mum and dad are going away so I thought we might as well have a good one. Me and my granddaughter have sat and meticulously planned how the evening is going to go, so I thought I'd share our plans with you to perhaps convince you to throw a small bash yourself. Tomorrow I have been charged with going out and buying as many scary Halloween decorations as I can, my granddaughter very sweetly said we ...  Read the complete review

It's time of year again folks, where it's time to brush off our ghost and witch's outfits, carve out the pumpkin, buy truck loads of sweets and wait in anticipation for kids's to come knocking at your door, chorusing the famous words 'Trick or Treat'. It's Halloween........... Ok so it's not everyones cup of tea, but many of us have experienced dressing up at some point and going round the houses in the neighborhood, and getting excited when someone gives us sweets. Growing up i used to love Halloween, dressing up with my friends, arguing over who is the most scary and best dressed. We lived in a small village and the majority of people loved us ...  Read the complete review

Here comes Halloween time again. Witches,Dracula, and all sorts of scary goulish creatures are once again ready to knock at our doors. You have to admit though,that it is fun.Every 31st October each year,a knock at the door.Opening it and looking down at all those little faces that are looking back up at you saying those magic words,"Trick or Treat" and holding out their hands.Giveing out sweets,chocolate,money or presents to them and watching their faces light up, can be such a treat in itself. And there it is for a few hours,closing the door,waiting for it to knock again for more scary little creatures.I remember doing this myself as a ...  Read the complete review
