My Halloween 2012

My Halloween 2012: Photos taken by me with a Nikon D60 Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens

A few days ago, I held a Halloween Party/House Warming for my closest friends. No-one came in costume, we didn't play tricks or gave treats, we didn't hang up decorations. But there was beer, cooking, friends and the art of carving pumpkins.

My friend Betty and I prepared an amazing dessert trifle - using hand-whipped cream, vanilla custard, lamingtons, sponge cake, strawberries, chocolate dessert sauce and chocolate chips. We layered it nicely in a glass bowl and made it prettier by facing the strawberries outwards. The Tuna Pasta salad was also easy - prepared shell pasta, then mix it with red pesto, Greek yoghurt, tuna and corn kernels.

My favourite part was definitely carving the pumpkins. We found inspiration for the vomiting drunk pumpkin on Facebook and decided to carve our own. The second pumpkin is of Cartman from South Park. Give adults in their mid-20's some beer and a pumpkin.. and this is what you get.

A Halloween to remember and a sexy cat costume! (Plus a blogger interview)

Hello all! Thank you for all the comments, everyone seemed to have been able to relate to me from my last situation I was in, and I thank you for the kind support and words!

I had an early Halloween party this week, and I dressed up in a sexy black and pink dress and matched some cat ears to it, and tied a black ribbon to my neck. Hope you like my outfit. As you know in Sydney Halloween is not celebrated as elaborately as America so I couldn't go all out, just decided to dress up less dramatically. If I could get away with it, I would've put on a big cat suit with those big paws and meowed my way on the streets. Even though I'm allergic to cats.

I am doing a quick post today, because I don't want to distract from my blogger interview that I had going. From my first give-away, I was meant to feature four bloggers, but Damar couldn't get her pictures and answers ready in time. But now she is ready so please see below :)

Blogger Interview number 4: Making My Own Fashion (continuing from my first give away..)

Damar from Making my Own Fashion, a fun and unique style....

 1) Can you tell us a little about yourself and your blog?

My name is Damar and I am a fashion designer and passionate about the creation, with the fact that we have the power to transform ANYTHING around us into something better, and my blog is a bit of that, Making my own Fashion, where I usually transform fabrics into pieces of clothing,  I also include a bit of trashing and a touch of photography ...

 

2) How you first got involved in with blogging?

I opened the blog in April 2011 looking for a way to show my designs in a more entertaining and personal way... working on this idea emerged Making my own Fashion, as its name says, I make my fashion .. I have so much fun doing the posts, most of the photos are taken by myself, behind each one of the pictures is on an incredible run. Runs ... has become my exercise and has helped me to explore and discover aspects of myself that I never knew existed ...

3) Name some of the bloggers whom you look up to and why?

My favorites blogs are, Aminta (Aminta's fashion) because she has a very unique style and gives it to each post a passion that is contagious. The Audrey Leighton blog (be Frassy) for the way she handles the business side, the "Mis papelitos" blog because in each post she reinforces that there is no limit to age for have fun with fashion ... I also like "Take only memories" and "Marmalade style" because they have some incredible photographs ...

Thank you Damar, and have a good Halloween everyone!

Can't wait to see your costumes!!
