halloween fail

I was really looking forward to my first New York Halloween - we had a party to go to, I had a costume that I actually liked, things were happening. But the party turned out to be a different night than we thought and there was that freak snowstorm. Then last night rolled around and I just wasn't feeling it - no where to go, allergies ablaze and no motivation. So, here is the costume I would have worn had the pieces fallen into place: Rose Garden, complete with tissue paper flowers (above) and a bird bath hat (below).

Spooky.

Since I am not going to be in town for Halloween next week, I am going to miss the Belvedere Street Halloween celebration in Cole Valley. If you've never been, I highly recommend it. The street is closed down to cars and people go all out on the decorating, turning their garages into haunted houses and creating spooky scenes in their front windows. It's very tame compared to the Castro, but still entertaining. There weren't a ton of places decorated yet, but those that were looked great.








Scary!! What's more terrifying than Sarah Palin?
