Happy Halloween! I hope you are all having fantastic parties with fabulous costumes! I’m in a little town called Calpe at this moment. It’s on the Mediterranean coast and there really isn’t much to do there except eat and relax, or so we hear. That’s just fine by me! Hopefully we will use it as a base to explore other areas- there are quite a number of castles in this region.
I wanted to share with you my all time favorite costume tonight, the Glittersparkleiceprincessfairyghost. I conceived and created it entirely on my own, and it did not even cost $5! Can you believe it?
Ok, yes, in hindsight is does look a little on the cheap side. But I still love it.
I wore this to my first Halloween party after I transferred to Michigan State. In case you’re not aware, Halloween on college campuses is mostly just an excuse for girls to look as slutty as possible. I’ve seen it all: Sexy kitten, French maid, Playboy Bunny, Lingerie Zombie, Naughty Angel, Slut Wearing Plastic Wrap. And on and on and on.
The Glittersparkleiceprincessfairyghost was sort of my way of poking fun at those types of girls. And plus, I liked it. I also liked my wig, which was a white, tiered, punk sort of thing. Awesome! And I made my skin all white and glittery.
I was so creative that year. In addition to this priceless piece, I also made costumes for Nate and his roommate:

Well, Nate’s Hulk wasn’t actually difficult. However, getting the green paint to come out of his pores was! That stuff is durable.
Russel at first was resistant to being a Lady of Substance. But once I put him in panty hose, stuffed them, and started sculpting voluptuous curves, he started to warm up considerably. Once the make-up was done, he had adopted a lovely falsetto, even. Then he rocked the look!
And I think he had the most fun out of any of us. People couldn’t keep their hands off of him! By the very end of the evening, he had grown tired of being objectified. Ha!
The party was at the house where many gymnastics teammates lived, and it was nuts. I spent most of my time with my friend Brad, who insisted I tacked “Barbie” onto the end of my costume. I kept forgetting, though, and when people asked what I was, I responded with “I’m a Glittersparkleiceprincessfairyghost! Barbie!” It was one of the best parties, ever.
And I never get tired of saying Glittersparkleiceprincessfairyghost. Barbie.

**I will keep this forever.  Even if only so I can never forget to say Glittersparkleiceprincessfairyghost.  Barbie!
