happy halloween

The black 'witch' wig is itchy, but to quote the company owner / great-grand-boss: "Hello, goth princess!"

The 70s guy has big gold chains. I have a big Museum-company curlicued cross on a black cord. We had fun comparing them.

Makeup notes: yes, I finally figured out how to get my lips to look purple, not red. Use dark BLUE lipstick; on my lips, it looks dark purple. I also found that light purple eyeshadow mixed with my regular white looks fairly ghostly, esp with a bit of dark blue eyeliner & black mascara. But I gave up on the complextion after the lightest foundation I could find and pure white talc didn't work. And no, I'm not doing clown makeup - foundation is a big enough change for this slap-on-moisturizer-chocolate-shadow-on-eyebrows-touch-of-vanilla-eyeshadow girl.

Oh - and does the 'there's something on my nails' feeling go away if you wear polish enough? At least the black is getting compliments.

A coworker took this with his phone.

Work parties are so boring

A cowboy has joined the disco dave, devil, biker, Eminem, and me. A few other folks are wearing black & orange or halloween-themed shirts. One has orange shoes on. Oh, and Jordi (happy teenager golden retriever-like mutt) is wearing a ladybug costume.

Kids have started to show up too. I spotted an Elmo, Superman, and another ladybug (humanoid this time).

Ze potluck includes homemade veggie soup (courtesy of the owner), a couple spinach dips, chips with homemade salsa & guac, bitesize chocolate-covered cheesecake cubes (mmmmm), brownies, a feta spread with crackers, cold cuts, cream puffs (also the owner), various other cookies, lemon tarts, and other yummies. However will I cope with this tedium?

Oh my. Shomik has somehow acquired an Afro. Eep.

More pics (with cuts)

This was at my desk. I had been playing with the wig. I think it looked better at an angle but it was even harder to keep out of my eyes. Today I really appreciate bangs.

This time I took the glasses off.

The next one was taken in the poorly-lit reception area. But the couch is yummy red velvet.
