| I already did one Halloween type thing. I went to "Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween" at Disney World. I was dressed up as Tinkerbell, which was probably really scary as I am soon to be 27 years old. Trick or treating around Disney World was fun and the whole thing was just so cute. I'm seriously considering wearing the Tinkerbell costume to work on Halloween. I imagine that would shake up the super conservative types that populate the building full of lawyers that I work in during the day. I doubt anyone at my Pilates Studio would even notice though. Some of them put together interesting fashion statements every time I see them, so me in Tinkerbell suit wouldn't be so unusual. |

We always have a big Halloween display. The last few years we've been pirate-y, with Capn' Bucky & his Skeleton Crew. We build some
animatronics & put a walk-through for the courtyard. Pete & Wally sing pirate songs(Pete plays a concertina while he sings; Wally just stands there and sings) and everyone likes them.
We have two picture windows that look in on "vignettes"--Melody the Mummy Bride & her hubby's wedding feast, and the treasure room, full of all sorts of weapons, treasure, and so on.
We've been slow setting things up this year; between Alcanazar's neck & me fighting off pneumonia, we haven't had the energy or strength needed. But it's coming along.
If we lived somewhere where it wasn't usual, we'd still do it. |

Just to prove how big of a geek I am, I showed up to work with my hobbit ears on... Just concealed enough by my hair so that the occasional passer by breaks his/her neck double-taking...  I love being a geek....

That's not being a geek that's having a sense of fun. I hate it when people look down on grownups for doing things like that. Everytime we had a costume contest at my old work there were always fuddy duddies that thought it was too immature for grownups to dress up. But the ones dressed up had a blast and they just had to sit there and watch us have fun! I remember one guy showed up in his pajamas, bathrobe, with a toilet brush sticking out of his pocket and his hair all messed up. He was a stay at home dad! LOL so he got to sit around in his PJs at work all day. It was funny cause he accidentally dropped the toilet brush on the parking deck elevator. People wouldn't touch it to pick it up and it stayed there for weeks. hehe It was brand new and never used but no one was taking a chance. And people not in our group wondered how the hell it got there.

Darn right! If you can't have a little fun, what's the sense in drudging through the rest of it all?!
Well, our shop's byline is "Where it's usual to find the unusual!" afterall!

| I read an article in my local newspaper today about how people in the Netherlands who are studying Witchcraft can claim a tax deduction for any classes they take towards becoming a Witch. |

Eum.. some cases yes and it has been opted by the minister, not sure if it is allowed. Because some parties are heavily against it. But maybe I am not getting the point of your post.

I was going to wear my elf ears to uni today, but I still haven't got hold of something like surgical spirits to take them off again afterwards.
But I heard a thing on TV last night that made me think - the guy said how come if he has a Lord of the Rings marathon, sets aside a day to sit indoors and watch the film, and might even dress up as an elf to watch it, that makes him a freak / weirdo / nerd etc etc...
Whereas blokes all over Scotland tomorrow will get dressed up in football strips, when none of them are footballers, will set aside a day to sit indoors and watch Rangers play in the UEFA champions league, and that is perfectly normal, to the point where people who don't do such a thing are considered weird?
That just made me think.
Anyway, I didn't dress up as anything in the end, as my natural troll-ness is far scarier than any mask available in the shop. I did wear my little devil earrings, which I love to bits (they have little red stones for eyes), and my pumpkin stud earrings. That was my sole contribution, other than my normal weird sense of dress. Sometimes 'costume' is a state of mind...

Interesting thought.... Not something you'd see in the US, at least not anytime soon *hides athame* 
Though I'm curious, what are they actually teaching?? and what sort of setting?
Is it a kind of equivocal study sort of set up in the same way one goes to seminary etc to become a priest?
(I"m willing to take it to pm, so as not to stray too far off topic & sensitive)

Ah, yes, the problem with removal... what do you use to put them on, btw? Hubby may have home-remedy remover solution to share:)

Ah, well, yes, but football is 'manly' and stuff.... And patriotic... Whatever...
