Spooky Little Girl Like You

I have been in a strange mood for several days. It's a fine mood; I'm all giddy and giggly, but it is quite unusual for me. Getting recognized in a chocolate shop as a frequent visitor, watching your roommates have a battle with Disney songs, and reading entire books in bookstores without buying any might do that to a person...
In addition, to these facts today is Halloween. While it's not my favorite holiday, my blog should make it quite clear that I like dressing up. The Greeks may not be celebrating Halloween but there is a party tonight held by some of the other American students here and costumes are mandatory. I've been scrambling for costumes and ideas for the last couple of days and finally seem to have settled on something. It's not the best costume, but it might end up being quite chic... Pictures will come later once the party has occured.
Last year I was a doll. Here is the photographic proof. Note: those are my real eyes; I just kept them wide open. (What I "did" to my eyes was a common question that night.)
Here are some shots I took in dressing rooms the other day. I've been doing a spot of shopping. I failed at getting outfit shots the last couple of days...strange mood, remember?

You're perfect doll! Too cute! I love dress-ups too! My sisters & I always throw themed dress-up parties! Also, that b&w dress is gorgeous!

Sounds like you're just having a lot of fun! I adore that doll outfit, it's fantastic although I do admit that your eyes scare me a little. Did you keep them like that the whole night?!?

Lisa said...

oh my.
you are too precious!

no halloween here either.
I don't like the holiday really.
But just all the childhood memories.
so nostalgic.
trick-or-treating through inches of snow with a pillow-sack...

and eating candy until I was bursting at the seams.

no Halloween here- but i will still stuff my face with candy.

enjoy the night beauty.

Your Halloween costume from last year is really amazing!

lopi said...

I love dressing up too and I always make my own costume!
The past three years I've been a greek village girl, Little Red Riding Hood and Smurfette.
Too bad you won't be here on February when we have the Carnival in Greece.
It's such a cool idea for all of you to throw a Halloween party in Athens! Have fun!

Aw, you looked so cute as a doll last halloween. Can't wait to this year's outfit!

Snowshoe said...

love the doll costume. i'm sure you'll come up with something interesting for this year. I'm kind of stuck on my costume. I was all set to be the morton salt girl but then I got obsessed with the show Twin Peaks and decided that I need to the "log lady". I doubt I'll do it though. Maybe next year.

WendyB said...

That slumped over doll photo is great. This reminds me, I haven't checked the Doll's Realm blog in a while -- have to go take a look.

Oh my gosh that doll costume was fantastic! I was boring this year and didn't even bother to dress up, if I had though I would have dressed as Karl Lagerfeld!

Your doll costume is superb!
