My Halloween costume! Leeloo Dallas from ‘The Fifth Element.’

The shirt: Goodwill. $4. It was a turtleneck that I cut up.

The pants: Wet Seal. $15. I drew the black lines on with a sharpie.

The suspenders: orange duct tape. $5. This was the most tedious, creative, and rewarding part of the costume.

The belt: Goodwill. $3.

The boots: owned. $0.

The hair: natural. I used a LOT of hairspray and hair glue to twist sections into dreadlocks.

Multipass prop: I made it by printing images of the multipass and glueing it to cardboard. The second most tedious and rewarding part of the assembly. :)

Total cost: $27.

Happy Halloween!

What I did: splattered coffee onto paper, let it dry, turned it into what my brain saw in the coffee. A fun exercise! I call him ‘Edgar of Hats.’

While on vacation, we found a time machine and went back to the old west. Caused some trouble with my sister and youngest niece. Ate some jerky. Rode a horse. Robbed a bank. Came back to now. Realized we could’ve done all that in the present.

Yeehaw!
