We always want what we don’t have. I like paler skin which shows your blue veins. but oh well.
I think you would look “dead” gorgeous as Abby with dark hair.
p.s. Group hug. (((((()))))) and drinks! YAY!
and also please notice my semi pun there. I even inverted coma there.

I have that Bare Minerals stuff, but I don’t mix them – I just buy the lightest shade. I have several foundations because I keep thinking I’ll find one that matches. Ah, well, Saturday I’m dying the locks – channeling my inner Abby for Halloween while accentuating my deathly pale skin. Perfect.

Whoo hoo, drinking in the Q! *goes to rummage around in her cupboards, swears she had a half-bottle of whiskey somewhere*
I, too, am paler than pale, Wo. I don’t wear foundation, because if I do, I look like I have fake tan on. So I just get mineral powder. I usually get “translucent”; last time I accidentally bought “light” and it’s driving me nuts.

oh did not mean to offend you wotv. I think to pull off goth you have to look really pale right? now brown people in no way in hell can do that without layers and layers of make up or outright white paint.

Comment #137985
Don’t expect sympathy from me, oi! I went to buy some new makeup from clinique and stumped them. They tried the lightest shade called “pale” and it was too dark. Apparently I have to find somewhere that makes “undead” to match my skin tone. BUT – in order to tap into the positive, I am going to dye my hair nice and dark and go with a Snow White vibe.

sorry had to work.
i wear saree very rarely. It’s a hassle and I am lazy.
I really would like to go as a goth. I am not very good at make up. or may be that’s a good thing??!! I will have to work hard to make myself pale!! ha! that sounds funny. I am gonna end up looking like a plaster pasted on my face.

So we’re talking “brotherly love” here. My two boys would take to each other with stick swords.
They would call it practice. As long as no one took any shots to the head it was all ok .
getting up on the pumpkin time for me…We are supposed to take the grandkids down town to enjoy the local Halloween fest but the rain hasn’t let up yet and now the wind is starting to pick up. I may chicken out and suggest the local chinese buffet instead to asuage the need to get out of the house in costume…Capt. American and Tiffany Aching witch will have to show their finary to the waitresses there instead.

Apparently knowledge of the word “varmint” is important to the story. Here’s the next quote, the opening volley to a brother-a-brother fight, “Is that supposed to hurt?”

the twin’s costumes this year are going to be a victorian princess and black cat.
hannah wanted to be a pink bat (?!) she was adamant about it and, of course, we had to go to 4 different stores to find it. when we finally did, she saw a belly dancer costume that she liked more! ahhhh…kids

The 13 yr old really would have prefered an Emo Fairy, but we were poor this year so its make your own…
Zombies and undead things are always great cause all they need is mom’s old makeup, Vampires and witches because they wear all black…(no they don’t sparkle) and hobos, bums, and tramps because of the ease of finding ripped up clothes or stuff that doesn’t fit anyone..
Varmint? as in pesky animal? As in dat cwazy wabbit?

Hi (((GloRillaFalcon]]]
It’s “scene,” WotV, and you gave a pretty good assessment of it. I think RB could tell us all about it. *pines for RBMish*
Oct 29, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Comment #137975
I’ve just come from making my oldest son look like a zombie. It took several layers of my foundation -yes I am that pale – along with purple around the eyes and red streaks.
My youngest is going as someone who is “seen” or “scene” or something. To the best of my knowledge, it’s someone who overdoes the current fads and thus ends up looking like a dork.
And my middle guy is going with hubby to a wedding in Canada. I really wanted to go, but the youngest didn’t want to miss Halloween.

Congrats Wo, on your book contract! That’s great!
Yay Beans for acing the presentation!
oi, most of the time as a kid I went trick-or-treating as what we called a bum. My mom called them hobos and today they would be called homeless. Most of the times I wasn’t a bum, I was a gypsy. That was all long before the era of political correctness. I got a fake mustache out of a gumball machine at the drugstore. I’m going to put it on with a straight face and see if anyone notices. It’s exactly the same color as my hair.

Sorry, Mo… I thought you were someone else.
My personality is quite Abby anyway, I am such a geek sometimes… I just don’t get to dress in such a fun way very often (you know, the whole suburban mom gig). My kids love it when I wear pigtails. Why is that?
Oh, and Mo… I am oddly flattered about the whole panting thing…

You could slick back the front of your hair and wear men’s clothes…
Or go for the goth look. Fake piercings, dark eyeliner, black clothes with lots of silver chains…
You could just go to a Halloween store and see what they have. A lot of women’s costumes are trampy, but you might find something.
For years, I went as a glamorous witch. It wasn’t much of a stretch
I have longish wavy hair that I can frizz, a witch hat with purple feathers, black top and skirt with ripped black tights and pointy boots. Pale makeup and red lips. You could try that…

I love Abby from NCIS… and I nearly forgot the tattoo! I hope the costume store has a spider web one… and while I don’t mind watching Mark Harmon, I do actually like the show.

Ti O, yes, you could get Romulan Ale at the now-defunct (but maybe returning?) Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas. I got a bottle. It is very blue. I didn’t drink it when I bought it. I can’t find it now, actually, but if I find it I will drink it. I don’t expect much, as far as the flavor is concerned.
Ten Forward was Whoopi’s bar. I actually kinda liked her character. Mysterious.

Yeah, I figured people might have actually heard of quarks (in addition to the DS9 bartender). When you start talking about tau neutrino ντ’s, people get a little confused.

There are three known types (flavors) of neutrinos: electron neutrino νe, muon neutrino νμ and tau neutrino ντ, named after their partner leptons in the Standard Model. But the Quark play is brilliant.
