I have always loved Halloween. My wife and I go all out every year. this year was no exception. We laid down quite a bit of money on our costumes but it paid off. We also managed to get some clothes that we’ll use over and over again.
This is a photo that I’ve manipulated of Mary and I in our Halloween costumes. I just put us in a different background and added a glowing effect so that our dark features could still be readible. We spent a fair amount of money on these costumes. But we love the clothes and are likely to continue to wear them. Mary got most of her outfit at Hot Topic. I was suprised that they actually are one big “goth kit” store. They’re your one-stop-shop intant-goth store. I couldn’t bring myself to purchase anything from them and instead borrowed a shirt from friend and bought a leather overcoat from burlington coat factory.
As for the wings, Mary’s where purchased at Hot topic to save some time and money. Mine are made out of cardboard, 3 wire hangers, almost two rolls of black duct tape, black pantihose, elastic bands, 250 turkey feathers, 20 goose feathers, and three sets of rooster hackle (all purchsed here).

I’ll probably take some pictures of just the wings so that everyone can see how cool they look up close. I’m really very proud of how they came out. If I ever make another set of wings again, I’ll make them out of lighter, more flexible material… but these are pretty cool.

that is a great picture, you use photoshop quite well my friend. This picture is something to be proud of and I hope your relationship grows and stays ‘weird’ :)
I gotta say, these personal posts are the most interesting to me (instead of just commenting on other peoples stuff like charities and supermodels etc)
thanks for commenting on my blog, I have checked your site several times because of your contact.

Thanks! I’ve taken several classes in photoshop but I still don’t consider myself that great. And trust me, the relationship we’ve got can only get weirder! ^_^
I prefer the personal stuff as well. But every once in a while, I’ve got something to say about other things. I’ll certainly have to work hard to keep more personal stuff up here though. In reality, that’s what this site is all about. My art, my rants, and my dreams. Everything else is icing on the cake.
