Dress @ MindSay

This is a dress I made with my partner, Danielle, in innovative fashion class. Made entirely from thrift store items. 

Before you choose your wedding dresses online, some image for your very cheap wedding gowns should be first in mind. You're finally ready to walk down the aisle; you're not quite sure what type of bride you'd like to be. Should you go with a traditional look? A modern one? Or are you more of a bohemian? Now follow us, find your inner bride!
Before you start shopping for your couture wedding gowns, take a minute to close your eyes and envision yourself as a bride. What do you see? Are you wearing a full ball gown with your hair in romantic ringlets? Or are you outfitted in an ethereal, flowing dress, with loose hair sprinkled with flowers? Write down six adjectives that best describe how you want to look and feel on your wedding day, such as summery, traditional, princess, sexy, sophisticated, over-the-top. Then have your groom do the same and compare notes. If you're thinking full royal regalia and he's thinking beach wedding and Bermudas, you may have your work cut out for you. Try using a religious custom, an aspect of the way you met, or something near and dear to your hearts -- swing dancing, horseback riding, and the '20s -- to set the mood instead.
Whether your motivation comes from the " something old, something new..." tradition, or the " I’m-going-to-do-this-MY-way" credo, bridal accessories are the easiest way to add a few unexpected touches of personal style to your look.

Halloween Halloween Halloween, what does the name mean to you!!  As a child it was one of my personal favourites on top of the list next to Christmas!  A spooky time of the year where anything goes.  We walked the streets unattended, dressed up as monsters, demons, ghosts you name it we wore it from bin bags down to fangs and fake blood, oh yes Halloween! And the good ole days where we could truly express our fantasies and trick or treat used to mean exactly that and not your car window being put through if you didn’t oblige.  So what happened to the community over the years, what happened to the true spirit of Halloween connecting to those in your local village or town, staying out late par taking in a home cookie, toffee apple and the bag of goodies, your reward for the night.

In today’s times there are even those misguided souls wishing to get Halloween banned completely as they can’t understand the distinction between Halloween and its origins celebrations such as Samhain or All Souls Day.  If we take away Halloween we will soon be left with very little, while the spiritual elements of Halloween are worth looking at those who cower under their beds during this time as what they believe to be evil, miss the point entirely. 

While there are valid reasons NOT to celebrate the secular or spiritual side to Halloween there is no justification to assume your six year old constructing a witches hat is in fact “serving the devil”.  So whatever your views or religion, remember what this time of the year means to the children and some of us adults who still love Halloween.  Make it a celebration, dress up, play some games, trick or treat and share your fun with others. 

From the whole team at www.costumefinder.co.uk this Halloween stay safe and stay happy.

As my drunken blog did state, today we took a trip to Ash's BUNGASLOW. :D
It's like a one-storey house that moves at 2 miles per hour. :)

Oh, I have to make that a tradition. Every time I come back from somewhere drunk, I need to try and document it. It's so funny reading them over and decoding them when you're sober again.

Tracey was reading them - which I didn't mind - but she was reading them out loud. Most of the time it was funny - just when she read lines like "I like pussy so that makes me a lesbian" - I was just like OMGSHUTUPREALLY. :/

Ash and I didn't think that Shelly would actually end up coming, because it did get to around half 1 and there was still no sign of her - even after attempting to ring her mobile - but she did end up coming, and with her, bearing a bag of cakes and stuff left over from last night's party.

We spent the majority of the day in Ash's room, mooching through my planned script ideas I'd brought along on my memory stick. I was even wearing my newly-transferred RCP logo T-shirt. :)

My Halloween costume came in the post today. I just had to take it along with me to see what they all thought. Naturally, it lead to everyone trying on the mask and the headpiece. :)
It's an evil jester - a half-black, half black-and-white-chequered suit with a silly jester's hat, skull trims and a skull mask. It's sooooo epic. :D

And thankfully, due to the price of it - we're not going to just use it for Halloween - we're planning on using it for some of our future music videos. It ought to work well.

We told Tracey of our problem with obtaining a dress for Ash - in effect, I told her last night when I was drunk - and she's agreed to make one for us. A pink and white gingham one, by the sounds of things. :)
I just can't imagine Ash in a dress. Imagine it with pink and white striped socks too - oh my word. :)

We're proper making her paranoid, we're not telling her what we keep talking in code about. :)
Then Tracey put her hair in plaits - oh it was SOOOO cute. :D
Ash didn't seem amused about it like - but she's SO having her hair like that for the Spieluhr video. It would go so well.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We played a combination of Guitar Hero 5, Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits and Guitar Hero: World Tour.
Alternation on vocals - we even got Ash to do a few - as a penalty for losing a pro-face-off against Shelly, of course. Ash's skill has really decreased lately...

We played my custom Saria's Song, and we got this really weird screenshot.
I was playing on Expert bass and I don't think I missed any, but look at the score. It says 128%!

And a photo of me with two jelly shoes up my nose.
I made the "my nose is running" joke, naturally...



And a creepy yet oddly cute photo of Ash with some wacky red-eye. :D

You must have known the categories of the different kinds of necklines, which are also an essential part for you to care when to buy wedding dress.The neckline is very important for two reasons: Not only is it the part of the summer wedding dresses people notice first, but it's also the one that sets off the face. If a bride's face is a portrait, then her neckline is its frame. Some necklines -- the bateau, jewel and mandarin -- are designed to sit high on the neck and offer coverage. While others -- the portrait, sweetheart, and one-shoulder -- are defined by what they leave bare. The right neckline can add character to hawaiian wedding dresses , show off an accessory, or highlight a unique figure feature -- be it a long, graceful neck, daring décolletage, or a strong set of shoulders.
