Don’t know why but I just love this look (for casual). Breezy and lovely.

LOL), and the generous provider of my Queen of Hearts Halloween costume this year, will be donating 10% of the proceeds from their exclusive Pink Leopard Costume during the month of October to support breast cancer research and awareness.

What choices have you made that are genuine expressions of who you are and in alignment with what you want from life? What choices, in hindsight, took you away from the person you really are, into an image fabricated by your mind and your society?

Heidi Klum is my Halloween idol.
I’m always excited to meet new people, because every now and then I come across someone who has the ability to change people’s lives and the way they see the world.
a new friend of mine just texted this to me. Now THAT’S the right attitude!!!
You think you can minimize risk by playing out all the scenarios and running hard from the ones that look especially difficult. But you’ll never be able to completely eliminate pain from your life because IT IS AN INEXORABLE PART OF LIFE. Trying to control it only results in it boxing you into ever tighter, more uncomfortable spaces, until finally you’re not living much of a life at all.
(an email I wrote to a friend of mine last night)
This girl is just adorable.
And I love the bright green door, too!
See, I’m not sure about this Queen of Hearts costume. I think I prefer the longer version.
I’m throwing a massive Halloween bash in New York the weekend before the big holiday - and this year, I’ve decided to be …
wait for it …
THE QUEEN OF HEARTS!
LOLZ. I think anyone who’s followed my dating life for the past … uh … decade, gets the irony in that. ;)
I do love me some ironic Halloween costumes.
So now the question is … WHICH Queen of Hearts costume to choose? I’m sort of tired of the “slutty this” or “slutty that.” I would like just to stick with a pretty solid COSTUME costume, not a slutty version of the costume. To that end, I’ll post a few here and you tell me which you like best!!!
Slutty Dolphin costume? Now I’ve really seen it all.

The iPumpkin
After yesterday’s High Strung Pumpkin experiment, I got so excited about pumpkin decorating that I decided to try my hand at stencil painting. And, being the Apple nerd I am, of course I had to dedicate my pumpkin to Steve.
Without counting the dry time of the paint (which was only about an hour), this took me a total of five minutes to complete. I was tempted to go back to the store to buy several more pumpkins to decorate because it was so easy!
Supplies:
- Pumpkin of your choosing
- Rust-Oleum Multi-Purpose Spray Paint, Primer ($7)
- 3M Super 77 Multipurpose Adhesive ($12)
- Printed design
- Scotch tape
How-To:
- Print and cut out a design of your choice. I used this Apple logo and scaled it to 55% of the size before printing, to better fit the face of my pumpkin. Play around with the size until it looks like a good fit on your pumpkin.
- Use the spray adhesive to coat the back of your design, and then bond to your pumpkin’s face. It’s okay if you have to wrinkle some parts of the design to mold to the roundness of the pumpkin, just try to get out as many as possible and make sure all edges are pressed down firmly so paint doesn’t soak through.
- If you want to leave your pumpkin stem in tact, use scotch tape or packing tape to cover.
- Lay down newspaper or put pumpkin on a surface that you don’t care about getting dirty. Then lightly coat the entire pumpkin with the primer spray. You can use any colored paint, I just thought that the white really fit the Apple brand. Be sure not to miss the bottom curve of the pumpkin when painting.
- Wait about 30 minutes or until paint is dry to the touch. Then remove your stencil and the scotch tape around the stem. (Yes, the beauty of this specific brand of adhesive is that it’s easy to remove.) The paint may take several hours to “completely” dry, so be a bit careful with over-handling.
That’s it! So easy, right? I think Steve would have approved.
I would love to see what you come up with. Shoot me photos of any pumpkin projects you complete: britmorin@gmail.com. Have fun!
