H▲U†E WI†CH

I wore this outfit a couple weeks ago while Travis was in town. The occasion was nothing fancier than to simply see and be seen. We spent the day preparing crafts, eating fast food, and anticipating the evening. At nightfall, we stormed the Strip, equipped with a disposable camera and a thousand words ready to be depicted in film photos. Later, we met up with our friend Mark at Caesar's Palace, where we sat in a hotel room and listened to Taylor Swift.

I was once racing around my room, desperately trying to invent an outfit that wouldn't result in prolonged insecurity throughout the day (as often happens when I foolishly choose to don denim jeans) when I was struck with a grand idea. When in doubt, dress goth. Perhaps it only applies to my personal fashion universe, as I frequently hear that 'gothic chic' is too morbid and solemn a style to sport on any occasion. But I'm vaguely certain that the best occasion to dress goth (at any extent) is when you're fresh out of ideas, need a standby, and overcome with the desire to turn heads while maintaining and elegantly witchy charm (no pun intended).

The bottom line is, I have a better grasp on the 'pagan vibe' than I do on most other contemporary trends. Maybe it has to do with my fascination with colonial America? And the fact that I lived in a 3-story Victorian house built in the 1800s for five years? In Massachusetts? I might also add that at one point I sat down and penned my own Magic Treehouse novel titled "Witches on the Weekend". It was about Jack and Annie venturing into Salem, Massachusetts where they witnessed a witch-hanging. 8 pages in I realized that my plot was just a tad too macabre for puerile audiences.

ANYWAY, here are a bunch of film pictures Travis and I shot of each other near the Venetian and Casino Royale.

The cigarette is just a prop, yall. Neither of us are smokers.

That last picture is one of my favorite ever photographs of Travis. His eyes are half-closed as he nonchalantly strolls through the starry conservatory in the Wynn.

I had a lovely October night and am anticipating more winter wonders as the season wears on...

I'm due to update you on my costumed Halloween adventures from 2 nights ago! I was privileged to spend the evening with my five favorite people in the universe- Travis, Jackson, Chloe, Andrew, and my sister. We all dressed up, some more elaborately than others, and assembled at the Bender Residence for a night of trick or tweeting and candy eating.

Costumes from left to right:

Me: A buzzband (can you guess which one?)

Andrew: A nun

Jackson: A spooky ghost

Chloe: Macie Lightfoot from "As Told By Ginger"

Rachel: Morrissey

Travis: MVP (Most Vertical Primate [a skateboarding hipster monkey])

My costume is comprised of:

-Feather headdress (purchased at Party City then painted neon colors)

-Tie-dye t-shirt (did it myself!)

-Tie-dye and paint splatter tights (did it myself!)

-Purple Moccasins ($5 at Savers)

Better close-ups of our costumes (unfortunately only Travis', Rachel's, and mine are available):

I also got a ton of film photos from the rest of the eve's extravaganza. Enjoy!

EVERYTHING IS INFINITE,
