It was the Abnormal Formal at a local art gallery. Two super creative friends submitted rockin' art to the event.

It was a cool event with a Day of the Dead theme and a fashion show and live music.
But, what wasn't cool was my costume.
I usually love costumes, but this one just didn't work.
I built it around a pair of tights I wore on Halloween's past for a witch costume.
 |
| I love my purple- and black-striped tights! |
I started thinking about what I could be. After a little Google research, I decided on a dark ballerina that quickly turned into a Black Swan-inspired ballerina.
The tutu turned out awesome, so I was encouraged. But, then I decided I didn't like the tights with it. Then, I wondered why I was being a Black Swan-inspired ballerina in the first place. The movie was entertaining, but definitely not my favorite by any means. But, I was encouraged again when Theresa did my eye makeup.
 |
| Pretty sweet, right? |
But, all put together, I think I look like a drag queen.
 |
| I'm a real girl, I swear! I'm not just dressing up as one. |
Sigh.
But, on the bright side, I plan on running a race in my rockin' tutu at some point.
And, I'll have more chances to redeem myself in costume, like at my upcoming Halloween Halfathon.
