Halloween Shenanigans

I'm a bad blogger!  Things have been so busy at work and at home and they're about to pick up because we're into our *fun* quarterly filming at work now and NaNoWriMo starts TODAY!!
I'm pretty much going to keep going the way I have been for the last few days: work like a crazy person at work and then script write like a crazy person when I get home.  Go, go, go!  My goal is to get my script FINISHED by the end of NaNoWriMo this year.  It's a lofty goal, I know, but I'm hoping that will be the swift kick in the ass that I need to finally get it on paper and out of my head!

We had a party at work and even though it was a little hectic, it was still great to see everyone in costume.  Here are a few highlights that I can safely share:




Best camera operator / friends forever - Brad (Gold Prospector), me (Fionna) and Jeremiah (Robin)
I was trying to figure out poses all day and this one seemed like the best one :)
My niece Amaya as the Skylander "Hex" (I dubbed this photo "only in New York...")
Heather as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's (of course!)
Bobby as Paul Bunyan (with Babe the Blue Ox)
Hugh and Lisa as a couple of tourists
And the office party WINNERS: Kristin and Natalie as the Hump Day Camel

You will be missing out if you don't watch THIS VIDEO of Eric's (our audio engineer) costume!!!

**EDIT: Here's the YouTube video:



All in all, the office party was fun but any time we do stuff like this during filming, us crew members don't really get to enjoy it as much as everyone else because we're having to deal with other things.  Oh well...

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

After putting it out there that I was going to be Marceline, the Put a Bird On It folks or recycling a costume or two from last year...for this year's Halloween, I've been struck by costume gold.
I had seen the trailer already but it came and went like the changing of seasons.
What am I talking about?  The movie GOLD that is THE FP.
Oh, you don't know what I'm talking about?  Educate yourself



That's right - a post apocalyptic Dance Dance Revolution movie. Fuck. Yes.
Yes, I played the game and yes, I like to think I was pretty good but my brother can THROW DOWN just as well as JTRO and the rest of The FP crew.  So?  Mix a little happy hardcore and hard dance from my trusty Digitally Imported app + part of my Killjoys outfit and BOOM - instant FP costume!



This is all I can show...for now. The rest will come later.  We have 2 rehearsals before the little office party starts.
Too bad I didn't share this gem with my coworkers earlier. It would've made an AMAZING group costume.

What are you going to be today?!

UPDATE:
This happened



And here's a quick peek at my costume



Major fangirling right now! Too bad I have a 6a call time tomorrow or else I'd go to Lala's party and share in the fun. Oh well. Maybe next year?

Full Moon Mani Test Run

You guys! I was looking around the internets for cute designs to try on the ol' paws when I came across this amazing look from one of my favourite nail blogs:The Illustrated Nail.



OH. MY. GAWD. I LOVE IT. And thank goodness there's kind of a tutorial for it here.
Armed with China Glaze's Liquid Leather (for the night sky) and Lubu Heels, Sally Hansen's White On, Orly's Shine On Crazy Diamond (as the "stars"), my makeshift dotting tool (made from this tutorial) because I don't have a striper brush, and a makeup sponge, I was ready to try it!


Well? Not bad, I'd say! I used Lubu Heels for the night sky on the rest of my nails and saved the full moon for my thumb (since it's the biggest "canvas").

I wanted to keep my manicure simple for my simple Halloween costume.  Since we're filming on Halloween (again...), I decided I'd keep my costume super simple so that I can work the filming in the morning and not have to worry about a super drastic costume change later.
So what is it??  Who am I dressing up as?  Marceline the Vampire Queen from Adventure Time!



You can't get any easier than jeans and a grey tank top, right?  I don't have the red boots, though.  Red shoes look weird on me so I'm sticking with some boots and I have a wig.  All I need is some vampire fangs and I'm all set! 

What are you dressing up as for Halloween?
