Today is Halloween, and the costumes went to school today. The Bunny is Cleopatra--sure, we sprayed her hair black, and drew on the elongated eyeshadow--but she wore a Grecian Lady dress, because we know that Cleopatra wasn't really Egyptian, but was Greek.
The Pony went as Re-punk-zel--a princess gone goth. She got an old prom dress from Ragstock, some fishnet stockings, black boots, black lace arm warmers, and wore it with a vintage denim jacket. Oh, and Mr. Sweetie and I were up until 2 a.m. putting together a 26 foot braid to attach to her hair.
But the thing that made that costume really work--really convey that punk/goth look--wasn't the clothing, wasn't the eyeliner, wasn't the black fingernail polish.
It was the black lipstick.
So, if your kid ever wants to go goth--for Halloween or real life--you can save a ton on wardrobe and just go for the lipstick.
