Halloween Idea #15

While attending Bonnaroo over the weekend, I had the greatest idea for a Halloween costume: Bonnaroo Attendee. Having just survived another music festival myself, I definitely have the wardrobe ready to go.

Would need:

-Wellington rain boots caked in mud
-Band t-shirt with strategic cut outs revealing an ironically 90s bikini top
-Bandana and oversized sunglasses
-Wristband
-Map/schedule
-Happily dazed look
-Spray tan or fake sunburn
-(Kudos to my friend Norm for providing this idea): iPod in pocket with creepy whisper announcing "molly. molly. molly. shrooms. molly" over and over again in a hushed, yet frantically needy manner.

Only five months to go!

PS: I get to don my Daria idea next month! My friend is having a 90s theme party so I'm excited to dig into the blog's costume vault for ideas! I'll post pics afterwards, for sure.

Singled Out

I recently watched Tom Ford's directorial debut A Single Man. The film was quietly strong and surprisingly masculine. While Ford's day job as a fashion designer did him no harm in styling and framing some gorgeous shots throughout the film, I must say his eye is only half the package. He hit the nail on the head with this story of a suicidal man's perceived last day on Earth, allowing the viewer to experience (along with main character George Falconer) the vivid, clear beauty of "the normal day." Here are some of my favorite shots from the film.
