The Legend Has Returned

We're in full Hallowe'en overdrive here at Bonkers headquarters, ladies and mentalmen!

This coming Tuesday, everybody who is everybody (so Elspeth and me, then) is dressing up and hitting the Castle that is New to celebrate the spooky season! Need to make the most of it, too, as when Tuesday is over Christmas begins on Wednesday (there's nothing to stop it now) and I'll have to get decorations for the House of Death... 'tis the season to be bankrupt. Anywho, guess who I'm going as?

Two previous options were Dracula (the classic, but too easy and every other guy will be him) or a Starship captain, probably Kirk (but that's quite frankly the scariest thing in the entire known universe, even more so than the fact that Gordon Brown could be Prime Minister this time next year). But they've been rejected for...

All I need is the whip and I'm done! I'm obviously going hatless, too, because the Castle that is New is fresh out of Zorro hats (what an essential item to be missing). But I have a bandanna (soon to have eyeholes), a cape (under construction), some great boots and black leather gloves! Score!

Elspeth is going as a killer bee, with a tu-tu skirt that, if it were any shorter, would be a belt. Lucy is Pebbles from The Flintstones. Both the ladies' costumes were constructed yesterday with fabric paint, which was much hillarity! Oh, and the cat sat in my bag and fell asleep... yes... anywho, that's Hallowe'en, folks! Enjoy it, too, because like I said, Christmas is coming and every post from Wednesday onwards will involve Christmas in some way!

You can't fight it... peace out, madcap fans!
