Halloween this year was interesting. We spent the evening partying it up at Zoey and Lissettes little house of horrors, which was as usual completely amazing, but before we could even arrive (2 hours late by the way) my sister and I were subjected to 3 hours of makeup.
That's right 3 hours. Both of our costumes were make up heavy. She was a Dia de Los Muertos girl and looked absolutely amazing and me in my Bride of Frankenstein getup. At one point I was standing there while my mom sponged on grease paint for a solid 40 minutes. Kill me please!
Did it look great? Yes it sure did, will I ever be that committed to a costume again, no. I had to shower for 45 minutes when I got home at 3 am to scrub the makeup and prosthetic glue off. I came out with my chest swollen from all the scrubbing. Seriously. Ouch.
Not to mention that the time changed mid evening so by the time we left at 3 am, I wanted to collapse from exhaustion. We slept over mom and dads and for some reason my mom decided only to make one side of my futon comfy and guess where I slept on the wrong side. So I woke up at 8 am with the worst back pain in history, slightly hungover with makeup still on parts that I couldn't possibly scrub anymore the night before. Regardless of that it was awesome and a fun night was had by all, as you can see from the photos ;-)

So I'm sorting it all out, do I want more tattoos or not. I know the answer, I do. I know which ones I want, but is it crazy of me to get so many, how will it affect everything career wise for the long term, should I even care.
The more I think about it, the more I think I will end up with a half sleeve. Is that completely bat shit crazy of me. I see women who have half sleeves or full sleeves and still look absolutely beautiful, classy, etc. Would I have to cover it up for work. Yes absolutely, but do I always plan to work in this staunch office environment no. If I have my way this will only be for 1 1/2 more and then I'd be able to do what I love.

My sister and I used to watch a lot of fantasy shows and movies as a child. We were definitely not the outdoorsy kind of kids, we grew up in front of the TV watching Rainbow Brite, Sesame Street, Popples, Cabbage Patch Kids, Care Bears etc. Our parents didn't mind because we were intelligent kids with varied interests.
As I got older and my memory got worse I forgot so much of what I used to dedicate my afternoons watching. Of course there were the ones that stood out so much that could never be forgotten, The Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, The Princess Bride, The Neverending Story, Legend, Flash Gordon, Goonies, The Secret of Nimh (still makes me cry to this day) but those are the fantasy classics. Or at least for my generation.
I have always had an extremely vivid imagination. As a child I would go to sleep and dream that a dog was barking in my face, when I would wake up I would see the dog in front of me still barking. Obviously the dream dog did not materialize in front of me, I just carried the image over once I had woken up. That still happens to me from time to time. I think this phenomenon is directly related to the amount of TV I watched and what we chose to watch.
Growing up I would have extremely vivid dreams of fantastical worlds. I always thought I had made them up...and then randomly I would stumble upon something and realize that this was what my dreams were about. They weren't new ideas my unconscious mind had concocted. They were carryovers from my childhood fantasy binges.
I wonder if I'm the only one that this happened to or if tv and movies inspired your dreams and nightmares as well?

My next big event is an amazing celebrity rally for kids with cancer. Every penny raised goes towards cancer treatment for children at the Holtz Children's Hospital in Miami and the International Kids Fund which treats children from Latin American without means.
I know my fellow bloggers are quite the charitable bunch. Please help by contributing. Your donation, no matter how much, provides hope to children battling cancer.
