I’ve decided to skip going to the game tonight (gasp!) in order to have plenty of time to get into my costume for the Halloween Party tonight. It just made more sense.
I think I’ve mentioned here before that I really enjoy a dirty martini. Reeeally dirty. “Dirty (Filthy) Whore Martini” is usually my exact drink-ordering phrase, in fact. It’s a running joke among some of my friends. So when I saw this dress, I knew what I would be for Halloween.
So, I got the dress back from the lady at work and it fits much better. Still a little more fitted than I would like, but that’s the material it’s made out of…nothing to be done about that now other than go find some control top hose or a girdle or something. I wanted to be able to pull it up to make it a little shorter, too, but because of the way she tapered the insert at the bottom, it just won’t work. That’s ok.
The only downside to that is, one of my ideas for making my costume more dirty whore-ish is wasted now. I was going to wear some fishnet hose with the knees worn out and dirty from…well, you figure it out. But without a shorter dress, it just won’t work. So what else can I do to emphasize the dirty whore part?
I’ve got a couple of trashy wigs to chose from. Probably a little more rockstar than whore, but I’m sure one of them will work. And I’ve got some fake eyelashes with little crystals at the base. And some fishnet handless elbow-length gloves. And I found some coolass hooker nails that are silver with little crystals on the tips. I also have a cool black feather boa with silver in it.
I can’t find the shoes I was planning to wear, so may go look for some cheap ones today. Either that or I’ll just have to wear my platform mary jane heels.
Problem is, according to Red, I’ll match too well. And look more highclass callgirl than dirty whore. So what else can I do to trash it up good?
Heavy makeup, yeah. Thought maybe I could smear my lipstick. But what else?!

Nilla Oct 23, 05: Yeah, my first thought was “put it on your head” for the making it trashier part. Like what you’ve got so far. How about a hat? Dunno, you could get a red pillbox and stick the letters “DTH” on it or something else lame I could probably come up with. Or write it on your chest.
Saundra Oct 22, 05: blue eyeshadow… red lipstick… OR you could just make your arms and shoulders look dirty– go for more literal DIRTY Martini instead of DIRTY WHORE…
I saw the costume when I was looking @ some– good choice! 
Have fun!
