Na, only about an hour. I have a pretty huge arsenal of makeup- it’s kind of my hobby, love to play with it- so I just dug through my stuff and used it in different ways.

Looks cool, but makes me glad I didn’t wear makeup with my costume.

[Witch!](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/WryOnRye/h2009.jpg) A bit of a stretch considering my kind and gentle nature. There was lots of method acting involved. And gin.

Much to my surprise the (hilariously bad) magic show I attended had a costume contest, and this [won second place.](http://twitpic.com/nx1a7)

Unfortunately I didn’t get a pic that included the skirt, and you can only kinda see the gloves, but you get the idea. (I think the pirate was my best accessory, though. 😉 )

It seemed like zombies were really big this year. We had two pair of dead newlyweds, one dead bride without a dead groom, and a zombie pirate (who took first place).
