Preparing for Halloween

I have mostly finished Elise's Halloween costume.  I still need to do a bit to the belt.  It is currently attached via safety pin.  Anyway, I wanted to get it finished and out of the way so I can concentrate more on studying.  Or I guess maybe I wanted to put off studying...  I don't know.  Anyway, it looks better in person.  Plus I hate taking pictures inside.  Plus she has red eye because I had to use a flash because it was dark outside.  My photo editing software isn't compatible with the new computer, so I don't feel like fixing the red eye at the moment because that would involve using the old super slow computer.  The end result of all that is not great pictures with red eye.  Whatever.  I may need to do something to her wings too...  They are stiff, but I'm not sure they'll stand up to Halloween.  I might add a little wire or something. 

I would like to add that as soon as I finished the dress portion of this costume, Elise informed me that she thinks she'd rather be Silvermist.  Good luck with that, Elise.

Frank has decided he would like to be a black widow spider again.  This will make three years in a row.  I haven't tried it on him yet to make sure it still fits, but it's the type of costume that is sort of one size fits all, so it shouldn't be a problem.  I almost tried to convince him to pick something else this year, but then I reminded myself that it's a lot less work for me if he wants to be the same thing year after year, so I just kept my trap shut.
