It Was Only A Halloween Tale
No, I’m not telling another existential horror story. Your bejaysus will remain inside you, unscared.
I was thinking, firstly about how strange a time Halloween is, how people behave differently, dressing up and embracing the macabre, and that led me to thinking about other times and festivals throughout the year – the chocfest of Easter, the romaniticed February 14th, the consumer mad joydom of Christmas. We’re a mad lot really!
But surely that’s what life is all about – embracing the wild and mad, the good and bad, the happy times and sad. Tonight, we’re going to the Rocky Horror showing in the Sugar Club and…what will I be wearing?
Yesterday, I tried on six different types of high heeled shoe in Miss Fantasia’s on South William Street, including knee high hooker boots. Last night, to try out my costume, I wore Lottie‘s fishnet tights and corset. I wore suspenders!!! How’s that for embracing the mad?
I have brought a more conservative outfit with me too, in case I chicken out -0 the thoughts of being seen in public looking like Frank N Furter frightens the funk out of me. But we’ll see…
What’s everyone else doing this weekend?
“Last night…wore Lottie’s fishnet tights and corset. I wore suspenders!!!”
An image that will forever be burned into my mind.
Oh pictures will be REQUIRED by almost Law.
Please Please dont chicken out, do it for all of blogkind.
Have a great night….. very envious!

@Elf Lottie says she’ll swap pictures of tonight for pictures of New York. K?
(And I’ve just started on the wine, so I’m gradually gaining courage)

you might end up in a tranny’s bed in the morning and then we will most definitely require pics 😀
@YerMan You worry me, you really do. Anyway, tonight I am the transvestite!! So, will you be out trick or treating with the other kiddies tonight? 😛
Now listen Toyboy!
If there are pixtures and photies being clicked I W-A-N-T to see them!

The R.H.P.S. *shudder* holds dodgy memories for me. I went years ago and had my civility stolen when I wasn’t looking.
I spent the weekend trying to calm children who were peaking on too much sugar, and hoping my eardrums would survive.
I dressed up as myself as I was the day before 🙂 Imaginative, me.
You floated my boat, in a way i couldn’t have imagined…
haha your a brave man! wouldnt have the balls to do that in a million years!
@GM Have you seen the pics yet? Check out Lottie’s site.
@Julie Ha! 😆 Don’t worry – it’s not a regular thing.
@K8 So that’s what happened you? 😉
@RP You floated more than my boat. 🙂
@Paddy It’s not bravery – it’s alcohol.
