I was driving home from Walmart last night, flipping back and forth through channels on the Sirius radio, when, on the 70's channel, they started playing "Witchy Woman" by the Eagles...
And then a flash of inspiration hit me!
Last year, there was a costume contest at the office the day before Halloween. There'll probably be another one this year. What if I were to enter the contest...as a witch? By which I mean, of course, a female witch...:)
I would probably be halfway to winning the costume contest on sheer audacity alone. But, since I can't completely count on audacity, I would try to be the best-looking witch I could. (Even if I were portraying a "wicked" witch, because Evil Is Sexy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvilIsSexy), right? ;)) And this would be a way to be kind of "Amy in stealth mode" for a day...no one needs to know about that part...
The dress would be the easiest part; this (http://holyclothing.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/4080/s/alyssa-bell-sleeve-gothic-victorian-empire-butterfly-vtg-dress/) is just one of HolyClothing's dresses that look "witchy." And I found some ankle boots that would match it well, with laces, pointed toes, and 3-1/2" stiletto heels. Add a hat and a broomstick, and I'd be most of the way there!
I've thought of more details, too, like maybe long black lace fingerless gloves to dress up my arms a bit, and silver pentacle earrings and pendant as appropriate "witchy" accents. And, of course, I'd need to find the right makeup and nail colors...
There's certainly a risk, even if it's a small one, that I'd blow my cover this way. I can imagine some of the questions: "How did you find all these in your size? Did you borrow them from your fiancee? How can you walk in those shoes? And where did you get those boobs?" I've got a good answer to all those, though..."Magic." ;)
Starting thinking about this early is probably a good thing; it means I have plenty of time and chance to get everything together the way I want it. So what do you think? Am I onto something here? Or should I lay off the 70's music? :D
