Overdue Halloween recap

This is a much overdue Halloween post.  I actually did a lot of Halloween related activities this year, kicking it off with going to a haunted  house (or more correctly, The Haunted Yard).  I was flipping through the radio and heard some guy raving how awesome this haunted house is, how they've been doing it for the past 20 years, and how the characters are played by a local metal band.  I dragged Danny to go and we waited in line for 45 minutes in this residential neighborhood.  It was only a $3 donation per person and all the proceeds went to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation which I believe affects someone involved.  When we finally got in, I was SCARED!  I screamed the whole time, especially when people came at me with a real chainsaw, sans chain!  They also recreated scenes from horror films such as Hellraiser, The Ring and White Noise.  I definitely want to get a group together and go next year!


This was my third year going to a Halloween house party with all of my friends.  I got the grand idea to be a pin up girl and then started obsessing over what I was going to wear, the hairstyle and makeup.  I found a great wrap sweater at Forever 21, a black pencil skirt and fishnets with a backseam at Victoria's Secret.  What really made the costume was my hair and bright red lipstick.  For hair inspiration, there are some great videos on youtube detailing step-by-step instructions on pin up hair.  I spent a little too much time and money but I had fun and that's all that matters, right?  Without further ado, me as a pin up girl:
