To Dress Or Costume

[Martha G]

Hi ladies!

I have my annual costume party coming up soon for Halloween and was planning to be an evil duchess.

Naturally the makeup would be more on the horror side.

I was also thinking about maybe just going as Martha!

Dress in a nice outfit for a mature lady or possibly find myself a nice evening gown.

It would be my first time out as "Martha" per se"

What do you girls think?

[Anthony Simon]

Well, inasmuch as you haven't gone as Martha, maybe you could try something new.

[Heather W]

I like the Martha idea. If they ask who you are tell the other me and just walk away.

Or answer, "Me, in a parallel universe."

[Eileen (SO)]

Martha, I know you enjoy the costumes. But which would give you the most pleasure? Going as 'Martha' might be a costume in your mind, others might just see a nice lady that didn't dress up for a Halloween party.
Or just mish mash the whole thing and go as Martha, the not quite so evil Duchess.

You are a beautiful person Martha, so please be yourself and not an evil Duchess.

As Donna has said "This is me in a parallel universe."

I have decided to dress as a Southern Belle.

I will be Miss Martha from the South in a very large hoop skirt and all the trimmings. Oh my!

Makeup with red lips, wig with long curls, earrings, lace fan, silk pink lacy pantellettes, long pink gloves and a large hat with a large feather in it. Also a nice string purse for my compact, makeup and money.

Might try to get a nice lace pink parasol.

Oh my!

By the way I am a Southern girl myself!

I was thinking about Halloween today as well.

So many ideas for costumes that would work en femme too. Southern Belle is a good one. There are a lot of time period costume ideas coming to mind now. Medieval princess, Wild West saloon lady, Ancient Amazon warrior princess, Harem girl, but I think I like Southern Belle the best.

[Martha G]

I do too!
