Halloweeny 2008 Re-cap :: Amy Winehouse
I wasn't quite feeling the Halloween spirit this year, until a couple of days before hand. I just could not think of a good costume idea. Then one day it struck me - as I was belting along to a certain hot-mess chanteuse's cd at work. I dressed up as Amy Winehouse.
I am so more than proud of myself for pulling this off...
My hair, with the help of a wig I bought on Halloween clearance for $2, defied gravity:
I really got into the details, drawing on tattoos, faking a "monroe" piercing (silver bead+eyelash glue...it stayed on all night too), and a certain illicit substance stuck under my nose (flour and more eyelash glue).
The piece de resistance for me though was figuring out what to wear. I went against the slutty, red-carpet Amy look and opted for a grocery shopping t-shirt and jeans, being photographed by the paparazzi Amy. What t-shirt did I pull out of my closet?
My D.A.R.E. t-shirt from elementary school! I laughed so hard at the irony, and many, many people at the party thought it was a scream as well.
I tried my best to make awkward faces whenever anyone snapped a picture of me. Such a fun night.
I leave you with this hilarious Winehouse/Spears parody from Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders:
I'm grateful for a really fun Halloween! What are you thankful for today?

what a great costume! you really pulled it off well. And are you really wearing a t-shirt from elementary school?!?! I would never fit into anything from then!
You pretty much rock, girl. You really do.
Totally laughed at the tee shirt choice! Hilarious! You look absolutely gorgeous in that last shot.
Excellent! You crack me up, you really do!
this is most seriously awesome! the t-shirt, the shoes (too cute!) - it all came together in a scary wonderful way.
