We Can Do It!

Me, dressed up as Rosie the Riveter for Halloween. See those guns? Yeah, they're huge; I lift weights on the daily.

My costume was a standard outfit I threw together with clothing I already had. All I did was add in a screwdriver, and I was ready to celebrate!

Happy belated Halloween! I didn't do much at all to celebrate the holiday (there isn't much to do if you're under 21 *sobs*), though I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with friends. My evening consisted of wandering around Chestnut Street in SF, munching on a delicious veggie burger and girl talk with the ladies & effeminate man friends. I was finally able to see the people I've been missing, which was definitely the highlight of my night. 

What did you do for Halloween? I hope it was splendid!

A Quick Taste

A little preview of my Halloween costume. Above are some instagram'ed photos from yesterday, the first taken at work and the second being my actual costume. Dress code prevented me from decking myself out in a denim tuxedo and all black low pro's, so instead I opted for my orange accordion pleated maxi skirt & a black blouse, along with the bat on my cheek. It may look like a sticker, but I drew it on myself! I used liquid liner & nars pencil eyeshadow to fill it in. Hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween; I wish I could post all of my photos, but I'll be doing that tomorrow! For now I need to focus on an art gallery analysis paper for my art history class.

I got these shoes last weekend for $3; my temples rummage sales are the best. 

It's November 1st! That means only 26 more days before my 20th birthday. I'm so old! And not only will it be my birthday, but Thanksgiving break! I can finally get a full day off of school and work, which is something I've lacked for more than two months. 

ps: later today I'm going to post my outfit from Halloween, so look forward to that as well!
