Today we could dress for Halloween. I decided on my costume a few weeks ago, and as with many of my previous costumes, it was rather inexpensive. Only purchase was a red with white polka-dot cloth. Mom was a great help – she suggested where to find the cloth (Jo Ann Fabrics), loaned & applied lipstick, and tied my head scarf on. Thanks mom!

Oh yes we can! |

| Alternate Pose
In order to avoid looking like I’m flipping people off, this was my usual “We can do it!” pose today at school. |
BTW, the sheer number of people who asked if I was dressed as Aunt Jemimah… I know I’ve got the cheeks for it, but seriously….
I’ve got to admit my first thought was Aunt Jemimah (doing a strange black power salute), but my second thought was “Who is that in Trina’s blog in an Aunt Jemimah costume?” It took me a moment to register that it was really you. Then I got the Rosie the Riveter. Something about the bandanna and lipstick make you look much older than you usually look. I think it’s covering up your hair. 🙂
Heh heh. My first time in make up at school since I was in the school play my senior year. 🙂
I’m going to be accused of attempting to promulgate my own rampant girlification if I say how good I think you look with a litole bit of lippy, aren’t I? 😉 I can’t believe folks wouldn’t immediately grok that you’re Rosie the Riveter, though, particularly since you’ve actually wearing the actual reference right there on your front! Absolutely awesome. 😀
I don’t mind complements about my lipstick. But it won’t change the fact that I likely won’t be wearing it again any time son. 🙂 Absolutely awesome. 😀 Thanks!
I’m just “what are you?”, since I’m currently dressed as the 4th Doctor. Someone at work actually got it without prompting, though, which made me very happy. 🙂
I was pleased that several students knew the “We Can Do It!” lady. (I was surprised when I discovered the “We Can Do It!” lady wasn’t Rosie the Riveter, just another lady like her.)
love it, and straight away I thought you were Rosie the Riveter, but I have been seeing a LOT of vintage-loving girls doing Rosie this year, including a Zombie Rosie I saw earlier today on another blog!
Oooh – zombie Rosie – now that would have been an idea! (Had a few zombies & vampires at school today – even a Zorro!)
http://community.livejournal.com/vintagehair/880745.html Zombie Rosie! I haven’t been to any hallowen parties this year, so no fancy dress for me.
Ah, alas – the image is protected. I’m sure it’s neat. 🙂 Bummer on the lack o’ parties. Gives you more time to muse on your ideas for your next costume, at least.
Awesome! 🙂
Thanks!
Looks like you’re about to fwap me but that’s Judi’s job. Great costume 🙂
Didn’t Judi tell you? She gave me fwapping rights every alternate Friday…. Great costume 🙂 Thanks! 🙂
Yay, Rosie! I guess I can see where the Aunt Jemimah guess comes from, though, LOL.
True, but the coloring just isn’t there…
Oh, Cool!
Trin For The Win! Best cossie I’ve seen this year 🙂
