Here are a couple of quick shots snapped on my way out the door. In the first photo, I was trying to do my best Cruella De Vil impersonation without looking too much like a meanie. Here’s to hoping the cute puppy will compensate.
This year we opted out of trick-or-treating knowing full well that I’d be paying for it during my graveyard shift later on that night. A few days ago Kneil recommended AMC’s new series The Walking Dead (thanks, Kneil!) and I figured it’d be the perfect time to watch the pilot episode. It seemed all too familiar (28 Days Later, anyone?) so I’m not quite sold yet, but it usually takes a few episodes to get reeled in anyhow. I love the idea of a western zombie series though! Western anything, really.

Loving it, Valerie! Pretty ingenious, simple to do, and without going over the top!
Your makeup is perfect, too.

Mae Lu, @ thereafterish.

I love your costume!! I can’t believe you made it (i mean, i can believe it because you’re one of the most talented ladies i know, but it looks AMAZING!).
How did you color your hair? It’s perfect for Cruella!
Andie
you should totally watch the series
the comic series is great and the first episode is really close to the original comic issue. ^_^
Valerie
For sure, I will give it a shot, Andie
Usually I give it 3 episodes in and if I’m not into it by the third, then I’ll drop it. A plus that it’s based on a comic book series, too!
Valerie
Thanks, Katrina! My hair was done with temporary spray-on hair color and a whole lotta teasing xD

Thankies Mae Lu, I was actually hoping to be someone else for Halloween this year, but being Cruella was required for work so I still tried to rock it pretty hard. And thanks for your comment about my make-up
I’ve been really into playing around with make-up lately so that’s nice of you to take notice
