"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe
Happy Halloween! Of course, I can't possibly talk about anything else today. I love holidays in general, but this one is pretty great, if you think about it. First off, there's the candy. But then there's the dressing up part. And I don't think you can ever be too old or too cool to dress up.
More than any other holiday, you can be as crazy and as creative as you want on Halloween. That's a good thing. Remember when you were little, and you would dress up and pretend to be...well, whoever you wanted? Sure, it seems a little silly to do that when you get older. But you never want to lose that sense of imagination. Being able to put yourself in someone else's shoes, dream of a different life for yourself, and come up with cooky ideas is actually a really good thing. It can help you keep your life moving, help you with projects, and keep you one step ahead. Plus, it makes you happy!
So even if you are not dressing up tonight, appreciate the opportunity to play make-believe. There are so many possibilities in your real life, but you can only figure them out if you start imagining them. And who knows? Maybe being a princess for tonight makes a princess for life...
Halloween is almost here. Are you dressing up? I am! I haven't decided what I want to be yet, and if you haven't either, that's okay! Becuase this week's Top 10 is the best FG Halloween costumes.
1. Selena Gomez & Demi Lovato - A lot of people have dressed up as Paris & Nicole. But why don't you and your BFF dress up as these two good girl BFFs? Check it out here.
2. High School Musical Cast - The movie just came out yesterday, so why not celebrate by dressing up as your fave character? This is a great one to do with a group!
3. Princess - It's what you always dressed up as when you were little, but there's no reason you can't bring it back. Once a princess, always a princess.
4. Night Sky - If you want an awesome DIY costume, check out this idea from GirlsLife.
5. Jonas Brothers - You might be in love with them, but why can't you be them? Check out this idea from Seventeen.
6. Decades - If you don't have time to go costume shopping, dressing from your fave decade is always easy to do. Bright colors and off the shoulder tops for the 80s, tie-dye for the 70s, or even a flapper dress for the 40s - there's a lot of options.
7. Vampire - An old classic, but the Twilight series is bringing vampire back into fashion. You can make it as cooky or cute as you want!
8. Cartoon Girl - What was your fave show as a kid? Rugrats? The Flinestones? Ninja Turtles? Try dressing up as one of the characters from that show to bring back to good 'ol days.
9. Boy - If you really want to get crazy, why not try a boy's costume? Napoleon Dynamite, The Joker, Indiana Jones... there are so many options! It might take some extra work, but it will be worth the shock factor.
10. Your Best Friend - If you're really low on time, why not just switch clothes with a buddy? You can trade places (and clothes) for the night, and really walk in each other's shoes!
I hope this helps! Let me know your fab costume ideas here or at The Fab Gal Myspace.
