Good Vs. Evil

I was invited to a super cool Halloween party for women only. Can you say fun?! No kids, for an entire evening and dinner was even included! We were encouraged to dress up in a costume of course, but I have several standby costumes so I had no problem with it. In fact, the host of the party asked me to come over early and help decorate. Well, actually she just asked to borrow all of my decorations and hoped that I would put them all up because I know how to work my smoking black cauldron... Yup I have a working cauldron that hubby and I built together. I also have a crystal ball, pumpkin lights, spider webs, and of course no Halloween party would be complete without the requisite black lights. We own 6 of them.


Anyway, I dressed as a wizard for the party, complete with flowing black wig and super cool hat on top. I can look pretty freaky with this wig in the black lights. It is black with two stripes of white hair that frame my face. These two stripes happen to really glow when under black lights, therefore I am bathed in an unearthly glow... I looked downright evil. I set out to cackle and hack my way through the evening festivities.

Another guest arrived in the opposite costume. Her outfit was a pretty white dress, blonde wig, fairy wings, and her head was circled with pretty daisy flowers. As she walked into the party she started skipping around tossing flowers at everyone (she owns a flower shop so it was pretty easy for her to get the flowers). The most hilarious part was the fake eyelashes that she chose to wear. They glowed bright green under the black lights which made her look even more innocent.

Throughout the evening she and I would play off each other and the role's that we were supposedly playing because of our costume choices. We would tease each other about being good or evil. By the end of the evening however, I had traded my wizard hat for her circle of daisy flowers. Somehow it seemed fitting. Somewhere deep down inside we are both good and evil aren't we? All in all, it was a wonderful evening and I look forward to hosting the party next year... That way I won't have to transport all of my stuff to a friend's house!

This last picture by the way is what the room looks like within a minuite of my activating the smoke part of the cauldron... I have to admit that it is so cool!
