Hey guys!
So, this weekend was HALLOWEEN! One of my favourite holidays of the year, and for the first time in years, I attended a Halloween party! When I say "years", I do literally mean YEARS. Seven, to be exact. However, my lack of spooky celebrations over the years didn't stop me from putting together an epic costume. I'm in the theatre; costumes are my thing.
This year, the theme was "SCARY". Now, to be fair, I am scared of a lot of things. Growing up, spiders, ghosts, zombies, anything to do with the horror genre would scare the living daylights out of me. But after working in a halloween maze last year, my fear of anything spooky has subdued a little. But only a little.
Back in my primary school days, my friends used to tell ghost stories in the playground around Halloween, all of which are either ridiculous or far too scary for any 9 year old to listen to. However, there was one story that to this day still creeps me out, and was in fact the inspiration of my costume this year.
A story of a broken china doll.
I can't remember the exact story that was told, but to be honest, porcelain dolls are probably the creepiest things on this planet. When I would go to sleepovers, I couldn't sleep in a room that had one on the shelf. And that was before I was told the scary story! So, for this Halloween, I went as a BROKEN PORCELAIN DOLL! And rather than explain to you how I did this look (because there are a lot of people who would be much better at it than me!) I thought I would just let you know which products I used etc. Here we go!
