I seriously need a costume upgrade. Where's a lost and wandering parrot when my costume needs enhancing?I went to a Faerie Ball in Tacoma last night and felt AMAZED by how incredible other people's costumes looked. One dude convincingly dressed up like a gargoyle. He looked so authentic and frightening, I actually hesitated about asking his name. Think of "Hellboy" and then turn that red-demon GRAY, add black wings and you've got the idea of what this dude looked like. (He only won "honorable mention" in the costume contest -- there were so many inspiring and creative outfits there going above and beyond).
Other favorite costumes included a female fawn, a wood nymph, a witch-doctor/shaman, and an array of Faerie folk with beautifully painted make-up. I feel so inspired by all the gorgeous outfits I saw. Now I cannot wait for my next chance to dress up!
