We’ve been watching Project Runway Australia, and they refer to pretty much everything as a “frock”, so I couldn’t resist. Frocks frocks frocks. Frockity frock.
This zombie brains dress will make a killer Halloween costume!

What I want to be when I grow up…

When people bring up the “what would you do if you could do anything you wanted” question, usually I say: I want to start an all-girl band, write a book, sew some crazy dresses or costumes, make friends with some birds of prey, move to Sweden…
Today I was chatting with my brother, and he asked me to help him come up with a scene idea for a haunted forest. Every year his school does a haunted trail as a fundraiser, and he needs to come up with an awesome new scene for his group.
That’s when I remembered my Ultimate Dream, which is to run a haunted forest. I’d settle for a house, but I’ve always like the outdoor haunts best. I could fantasize all day about making props and sets and costumes. Plus, it’s like an excuse to obsess over Halloween 365 days a year, which I pretty much do already.
Things I will have in my haunted house/forest:
Werewolves – I think it’d be awesome to have them howling from way off in the distance before you see them
Cemetery with a zombie hoard
Creepy trees with faces
Skeletons – preferably robotic ones playing in a bluegrass band or something ridiculous like that, a la the haunted train ride at Cedar Point
Whispering woods – sometimes the most basic stuff is the creepiest
Dead ghost kids laughing
Maybe some sort of satanic ritual to scare the crap out of the believers, haha.
Chainsaws… always scary
Things I will NOT have in my haunted house:
Recent horror movie characters (Freddy, Jason, Scream guy…). Lame and not scary.
Truly truly truly smarmrageous!

Next up… adventures in dorkiness. I did a really quick ‘n crappy sketch for my JEM costume the other week, but I did some searching the other morning to get some more ideas and had the itch to do another one *cough* instead of doing real work *cough*. So I thought I’d share…
I didn’t want to do the “standard” JEM dress, because it’s kinda of boring. I know, blasphemy! Prancetron.com has sketches of EVERY outfit ever in the show, which was immensely helpful… not to mention awesome.
After looking through, I decided to do this outfit… since you can’t see all of it, I can kind of put my own Smarmy twist on it.
This is a screencap from an actual episode in which Pizazz and the Misfits are using a JEM poster as a dartboard, thus the dart right in the middle of her face. Ha!
Awesomely Spooky Contest!
