haunters in every crowd. maybe you'll be the ghoul they can relate to.
i thought about doing all my posts as well, but 1000 posts, that's a lot of print outs. but that would make the scrapbook more fun. i have had a blast with some on this forum. that makes for some pretty memorable remembrances. hope thom doesn't read this post, he'll shread it.

yellow moon, i am not sure what you are asking now. are you saying you want to turn the red dress into one of the dresses above?
No, I was saying that I'm going to have multiple costumes this year and that I'm now going to be looking for a dress at a thrift shop or that I could possibly buy some fabric for and fashion a dress to look something like the above posted pics...the red dress I think I'll end up wearing for trick or treaters and just be a vampira...that's what i ment about multiple costumes....
your scrapbook idea's neat! don't have any pics of me to add cause i'm always taking them (photographer)
i know what you mean about the lack of pictures, i am usually the photographer. i like your multiple dress idea, and i love the yellow dress above. i think someone suggested a cape to go with the vampire dress, i think that would add. and have you thought about some form of maybe a necklace, earrings, hair piece?

My 8 year duaghter wanted to wear he favorite dress for halloween (floor length medievel stlye in dark red) but it needed a tweek to make it scarier, so I made a floor length veil out of black tulle using a ribbon to attach to her hair. I worked really well

I used a bridesmaids dress one year (unfortunately before I had a digital camera, and I don't have a scanner) and I DID rip it to shreds, well, more or less aged it, with rips and dirt and cobwebs, leaves and such. My husband was a confederate officer (dead, of course) and I was his 'belle', also dead. I wanted to look like I had been buried and was back. I also used the black veil idea, and hot glued spiders, leaves and cobwebs to the veil, which covered me from head to toe. It was a great costume. Wish I had a pic
I'm not sure if any of you have them by you, but here we have Goodwill and on Tuesdays it's $1.49 day. Anything with a certain colored tag (changes every week) is $1.49. I've found gorgeous formals, old prom dresses, vintage clothes and even a couple wedding dresses. I've got a rack out in my garage right now of ones I'm going to revamp into costumes to sell closer to Halloween. Normally I look for beaded things to turn into bellydance costumes, but last year I watched as all the college girls went nuts and spent tons on really badly made retail fairy costumes. So I think I'm going to try and tap that market this year myself and make some extra money to spend on new toys the day after Halloween.
Malenkia, I always thought about making costumes to sell, but never did, where would you sell them? E-bay? I don't know if our good will does the $1.49 thing or not, I don't think so, but on fridays they open up their ware house and everything is 50 cents, only problem is you could get killed trying to find something there, it is crazy , people fighting over things, man, I haven't been there in a while,
