Citizens demand fewer links to Facebook and other places I can’t get to from work, dammit. ☹ > [@MeanOldLady](#): > > [Witch!](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/WryOnRye/h2009.jpg) I’m disappointed you didn’t go with the sexy bumble bee. 😃 This one worked out well, though. > [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > Holy hell **Shot From Guns**! > > You’re beautiful! You don’t mean that. You’ve just been taken in by the giant '70s hair. ---

Giant '70s hair is key. ---

> [@MeanOldLady](#): > > I’m not sure how to take this. Take it as an earnest compliment from a fella that is slavishly devoted to his wife. Part of the “wow,” I guess, is how contrary to expectation the pic was. ’ Hmmm… “MeanOldLady” dressed as a witch…" :eek: ---

I was going to see the Electric Amish on Halloween so I spent most of the week getting the Amish Zombie look just right. This isn’t just right but its the closest posted to the web so far. [![](http://www.obeyhouse.com/Images/amishlurk.JPG) ](http://www.obeyhouse.com/Images/amishlurk.JPG) ---

I’m on the [right](http://www.flickr.com/photos/23364607@N00/4065061598/). I realize it’s not a perfect costume, but repeat to yourself, “it’s just a costume, I should really just relax.” ---

I went as a derby girl. I’ve decided I should spend every day in skates. The hardest part was coming up with my derby name and ironing it on the back of my shirt. [http://img442.imageshack.us/i/halloween2009az.jpg/](http://img442.imageshack.us/i/halloween2009az.jpg/) As if I needed to point it out, I’m on the right. ---

I love it too! It’s better if she went around knocking people over. Probably not better for the people around her, but better for me to giggle about. ---

> [@MeanOldLady](#): > > I typically say wow when something fairly screwed up happens. Well, thanks then. I took it to mean “Whoa. **Hawt.** ” as that was pretty much my reaction. 🙂 > [@](#): > > I demand full length photos. Build a time machine and take more if you must! Okay, well I cannot accommodate the time travel part, not being a quantum physicist, but [this](http://twitpic.com/oa4qj) will give you a more-or-less adequate idea of what I was wearing. Different day, different makeup, different accessories… you’ll have to imagine it with over-the-elbow black opera gloves, and without the lacy drape around my hips, and different boots, but that’s the skirt. The lighting is a little odd, too, as it makes the green lace look bluer than it is in real life. It’s more of a forest green. ---
