there was a lot to love about halloween this year, but maybe my fav moment all weekend was the late night mid-party 1:1 ariel designed based on the starless sea. definitely among the best things to happen to me in that ballroom. not pictured: a tiny perfect chocolate mouse (which I ate at 3am when I got home) 🖤🐝🖤
another halloween gone! this year I continued my time-honored tradition of making a big weird thing and putting it on my head, and I have to say I’m pretty happy with how this one came out. a couple of people asked about the pomegranate necklace – that came from an incredible artist on etsy who I highly recommend! cover yourself in pomegranates, imo.
just occasionally, there’s a dress code that may as well have been written specifically for me.
when one is going to bartschland for their birthday, one needs a look. thank u mayuu for making my glitter brow dreams come true.
inferno was extremely goddamn good: part two
Because of an ancient curse, @fyodorpavlov‘s planned Hallowtweed picnic this past weekend was moved inside. But it was still perfect and delicious and beautiful. And me? I wore headbats.
Sometimes, a plain lobster on the head is not enough. In such situations, it’s generally advisable to put a lobster telephone on one’s head instead.
A thing to do if you are feeling sad about sharing a birthday with the actual apocalypse is to go to a witch party with some of your favorite miscreants and drink many drinks and eat basically the most perfect Baphomet cake in the world. Eventually, after people start getting naked and drawing on each other with frosting (I promise it’s frosting), Hecate might show up. And who could be sad then?
A+++ would recommend.
All my teen goth dreams came true at the Nightmare Before Christmas party. Not excessively crowded, everyone looked amazing, there was candy, a lot of people I like were there, I wore a weird thing on my head, and my cab driver didn’t get mad when I got snow confetti all over his car.
Also I found out I’m officially on Santamilian Martel’s naughty list, but I mean tbh that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.
Please accept a handful of photos from @fyodorpavlov & @lawrencegullo‘s completely lovely tweed picnic yesterday afternoon. Advantages to an indoor picnic on a chilly & blustery day: less shivering, more booze, easy access to cats. Disadvantage: slightly fewer layers of tweed.
The best birthday parties involve rhinestone demon horns, fire dancing, and @mrmisadventure in his underthings.
The Clue party was everything. Dinner was great, but the post-dinner scavenger-hunt-slash-escape-room completely blew me away. The Carolines and NPH’s surprise appearance were particular highlights.
The party itself was great too - nowhere near as crowded as some McKittrick events I have been to (looking at you, every NYE ever) but there was so much to see and do. The whole night completely surpassed my expectations. I wore a wrench on my head.
A+++ would attend murder party again.
When it’s too rainy for your planned spring picnic in the park, obviously the thing to do is move the entire thing indoors and picnic on the floor instead. Thank you @fyodorpavlov for a lovely afternoon!
Please accept some (very) belated photos from The Mad Hatter’s Ball. In spite of a last minute costume disaster that resulted in me just putting a giant flower on my head and calling it a day, I had a lovely time with many lovely people.
