Bastille Day

(image via Annie Ray)

We went to the “Paris Calling” Bastille Day celebration at Justine’s last weekend. I love a reason to put on a costume! The theme was red, white, and blue French/punk. I went more “Japanese punk,” B said. Whatevs, I got to dress cute and got to see everyone’s amazing costumes.

Unfortunately it was super dark, so we didn’t get any other pictures at the event, but I snapped a quick shot in the mirror before we left. In fact, I noticed I’ve been doing this as a way of determining if I like my outfit or not… Guess I’m sort of addicted to the camera, rather than the mirror.


 

I’m getting pretty amped up for Halloween (my favorite holiday — we weren’t allowed to celebrate as kids!), and saw that Party City over on North I-35 has a bunch of costumes for $15. Get thee to a Party City. I still haven’t decided what to be this year. Here’s the last few years:

• A Zombie Pinup girl
• The “Golden Parachute Fairy”
Ashley Todd
• Eddie Sedgwick
• A Flapper

What was your favorite Halloween costume? What are you going as this year?

    Sounds like a fun party!

    Why weren’t you all allowed to celebrate Halloween?

    My parents were uber-religious and conservative, and thought it was satanic. :)

    We don’t “really” celebrate Bastille Day, we just happen to have a fantastic French restaurant here that holds the event, as well as a French Ligation Museum who puts on a family event, usually involving a BBQ, some fireworks, and music. It’s like 4th of July. :)
