Playing Dress-Up

Why do I have such awesome friends? I don't know. But they really are awesome, especially because they'll dress up with me to go to the midnight showing of Harry Potter.

Luna, Bellatrix, and Professor Trelawney

I may or may not have spent two and a half hours crimping my hair for this. Epic? Yes.

And I found THE perfect Bellatrix Lestrange dress at Savers. LOVE that place. It's like D.I. but better. And more organized. I probably spent way too much on it, even though it was at a thrift store. I tried to talk them down on the price, but apparently they have a "specialized team of pricing agents." Yeah right. My mom has always talked them down. But it was much too good to pass up, so I got it anyway. It's an investment right? I can always wear it again for future Halloweens or Harry Potter parties. Am I correct or am I correct?

Oh good. Thought so.


Anyway, I also bought an old glittery/sequined/velvet and netting skirt. Not the most attractive thing ever. But as a Bellatrix cape?!?!?! Bombdiggetyawesomesauce, Baby!

bloody hands and a wand plucked from a bush.....

Too bad I don't have epic explosions behind me...

As for the movie, we all know how incredible it was. And Emma Watson is just such a fun, interesting, educated human being. And Snape is one of my all-time favorite characters, and Alan Rickman was stunning. He should get an Academy Award for that or something. Lots of love. An amazing end to an amazing saga. 
Well done, J. K. Rowling. Well done.
