A Katniss Everdeen Halloween

Current Theme Song (aka what's playing on my ipod right now): Into the Twilight by Amethystium.


As you may know, I am dressing up as the ever-cool Katniss Everdeen for Halloween. I am so excited and not only because she is superamazing - well, that has a lot to do with it, but also because I match her somewhat physically. My skin is best described as "olive" (my sister likes to say it is yellow and green, to which I promptly refuse to make her the cookies she's been asking for), and I tan easily. Which I discovered all over again when I came in from reading a book outside a week ago and had the brightest farmer's tan you could imagine. I was horrified. It's fall! I thought the sun was getting lower in the sky! Goodness, but it did encourage me for my costume (though my shoulder has quite a bit of catch-up to do).

However, I do not have black hair. I always knew she had dark hair, but I imagined it more a dark brown (yeah, there was no projection there) ;), but sure enough, double checking, she has black hair, olive skin and gray eyes (okay, I'm shot for the eyes too. But man, she must look so gorgeous. No wonder our bread boy loves her so much). :) For reasons I cannot divulge quite yet, I cannot dye my hair, even temporarily. I would have loved to. I can't afford gray contacts, so people will have to use their imaginations there. But at least I have the proper hair length! And I can braid my hair! (sounds dumb, but that is quite an accomplishment in my book).

I love Halloween. It's a time when you get to be someone different, someone not yourself (or someone all-too like yourself). You know, break out and have it be socially endorsed (which I personally think should happen all the time). Plus there is candy. Always a plus.

I am going to be doing some research and report back. You will be informed of all my adventures in this grand endeavor. WriterGirl over and out.
