Halloween costumes...

[erin-x]

I'm bored....

Is anyone dressing up for Halloween this year, whether it be for a party, work, whatever? What are you dressing up as?

I've been practicing my Halloween make up for work... I think it may be a tad scary for the babies though!! Haha! :)

I realize, erin-x, that this doesn't answer your question; but, I was wondering if in the Uk you combine Halloween and Guy Fawkes, or do you have two distinct "festivities"?

[sherrardk]

Two separate things.

I wish I was going to a Halloween party, I want to dress up.

[EvianBaby]

Erin, is that your make up in your av?

[erin-x]

Two separate events, Stewey.... are you in the US?

On Halloween we have parties, go guising (trick or treating), do pumpkin/turnip carving, dress up in costumes etc..

Guy Fawkes/Bonfire Night we have bonfires and fireworks. There's always a "Guy" on the bonfire and that's about it really, round here anyway. Oh well there's always the burger van at the firework display but I don't think that's a tradition ;D

[stewey]

Thanks, sherrardk. Quite close together then, aren't they?...No I'm not dressing up, erin-x.

[erin-x]

Yeah Evian!! I got bored! Lol! My mum does a double take every time she looks at me!

That make up was going to be for work, i'm going as a skeleton you see.. I think it might be a bit too scary for the babies though so i'll have to tone it down a bit! :)

[EvianBaby]

Have you never heard of guy Fawkes? He was the original terrorist.

[EvianBaby]

That is amazing!!!! You're very talented!

[stewey]

I'm in Ontario, erin. I think they still "do" Guy Fawkes Night in Newfoundland, but not in the rest of the country.

[erin-x]

It's just black eyeliner and black eyeshadow! Didn't take long at all :)

[EvianBaby]

How weird, I just chose a song by Bastillen called Flaws on my iPod and I swear the album cover is you in your av! Lol

[EvianBaby]

*bastille

[erin-x]

You should just get some fireworks and sparklers and do your own display, Stewey :)

[erin-x]

Haha! I haven't listened to Bastille yet.. I know Greg James was going on about them a few months ago...

[EvianBaby]

Just heard that today and loved it. Need to stop listening to it before I kill it for myself.

[erin-x]

I hate when that happens! I've got The Vaccines stuck in my head right now..

I'm no teenage icon.. I'm no Frankie Avalon!

Lol!

[stewey]

About the only time that you can buy fireworks here is close to Victoria Day: a long weekend that we have in May thanks to your former Queen.

[EvianBaby]

Oh I like that one too. iTunes!

Well we have to go "trick or treating", so I am guessing i may have to put something on. However, with a bit of luck, I shall still be in London and so Mr BM will be doing the dressing up and the treat or treating!!!!!!
