***OLD***DisDivas and Family October Mini Meet

[mommaU4]

I totally get what you mean. Hit the thrift shops and goodwill. You will find great things there. I one year found this totally flowy gauze dress at a thrift shop for a hippie costume. It was natural looking fibers and looked really real. Got it for a few bucks. I had tons of funky peace jewlery and stuff, a leather head band, and done. It cost me less than ten bucks.

This past year I did the hippie thing again with James. We both got tie dye shirts, and wore ratty jeasns that we had. I put some peace sign patches on mine. He took an old jean jacket of mine, ripped off the sleeves and put patches on the back. I had some birks that I wore. I will post a pic of that later when I get home.

If Noelle is looking to do the real natural hippie, I have a pair of sandals that she can have from the Hippie dress that I wore. I don't have the dress, but I kept the sandals. They are hand made from leather and look like someone made them in a commune. Ill take pics and post them later too. I wore them once, and that was it. They look great for hippie costumes, but I had no need to wear them again. But were too cute to toss. They are hers if she wants.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. I have to do some research online to find the exact look we want, but that sound pretty close!

Sure, I'd love to see a pic of the sandals. I'm not sure what size she wears..... oops. I guess a mom should know that sort of thing.



So none of the adults want to dress up?? Seriously? Come on, party poopers. It'll be fun. We have five months to figure something out.

Well, fine. Be that way.

I would dress if I could convince James to dress with me. i dont' want to drive and walk alone all dressed in costume.

Use your womanly ways to convince him.
I think couples costumes are really fun. I always like looking at those especially when it's an obvious theme.

I posted that Ruben has this funky margarita covered shirt that he was thinking he could put together as a wacky tourist costume with a camera, socks with sandals, the white nose, etc.

I was trying to think what I could do to tie in with that. The only thing I could think of was a VIP Tour Guide. He could be the tourist and I can play his guide.

I dunno. But this is the fun part. Toying with all the endless ideas.

 

[mommaU4]

And Stacie, you're so creative! I totally thought you'd live for this kind of challenge.




(Like how I'm sucking up....... No, but you know you're creative like that.)

Tourist and VIP guide would be so cute.

And James loves halloween so it won't be that hard, just deciding on the costume will be. He likes scary and gory, while I like cute and funny. We are so mis matched.

We might do hippies again if it comes down to it. But will also depend on what my weight is come Halloween. I am starting back up with WW after my graduation and birthday. Can you believe I gained 50 pounds since I started school? James told me he doesn't see it and that I don't need to lose anything. Hes a sweetie.

 

[Stacerita]

Well if Stripper 101 goes well we can tie that into a costume

 

[fairykin]

I am really looking forward to this trip... i love the fall season and Disney does it so wonderfully!

Yesterday i bought the first thing for the birthday party favor bags.
I'm making 20 bags, just in case.

DS, Quinn, and I had planned to go to the Halloween party on Wednesday, but you gals have convinced us to change our plans! All of this talk about costumes and pictures and Mickey's Halloween Treat fun make us want to trick or treat on Friday night with the Dis Diva group. We're looking forward to meeting everyone and I'm more than willing to help smuggle in those Jello shots! Please add us to the list of Friday party-goers. Thanks!

See, that's where the creative thinking part comes in.

Good for you starting WW again. I know James and Ruben are both sweethearts who have both said how they think we are beautiful no matter what, but sometimes you just gotta do it for yourself.

Well if Stripper 101 goes well we can tie that into a costume

There ya go! James can be a zombie on the loose in Vegas and you can be his stripper.

You are so sweet to make party favors! I wish I was going to be there in time for the party. I know it's going to be great.

I love Fall. Love everything about it. And Halloween is my favorite holiday ever.

That's great news!! Glad you'll be there on Friday.

Oh no, Beth, I'm so willing to wear a costume! I mean when else can you go to DL in a costume? I don't know what it will be, it's way too early for my brain to think about this, but I plan to be in full costume. I LOVE Halloween. Love costume parties. It's the rare chance for an adult to play.

Bridgette said she was dressing up, last I can recall.

I think that's great!

Gotta run. Am going to the Magic Castle tonight.

Yes, you can count on me being in costume! Now I have PAGES to catch up...

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

I want to dress up, if I can find something that fits me.

I love the ideas you all are throwing around. I can't wait to see us all lined up.

Donna--Bella loves her Armadillo--we've played with it every night. She loves to hold one end and tug with her teeth while I hold the other. I love it coz' it totally wears her out! thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

And I love the Magic Castle--have you been there before? I used to date someone who was a member and we went quite often. The Halloween Party there is fantastic (talk about dresssing up!)

Oh good.
Hope you had fun tonight!

Yay!

OKay, cool! Now that Halloween is so much more popular than it ever used to be, it's easier to find a good selection of costumes in a variety of sizes.

Hi Heather –

Oh, I'm so glad you are coming!

Here are some pics of those sandals.

Those are cool Stacie. Very earthy and natural looking which is the look we want. What size are they?

I think they are a size 8. Don't know why I kept them, as I wear at least a 9. I guess when I was younger, my foot was smaller. Let me know and I will be more than happy to bring them up in June.

 

[mommaU4]

I think we scored at Target tonight!! I found a cool maxi dress (those long flowing ones) for Noelle. It's very colorful, but not in a bright flashy way. It looks good on her. And then I found an awesome Peace sign necklace. I took a pic that I'll try and post tomorrow.

I love piecing together costumes. It's so exciting when I find a piece that works perfectly. (I know, I'm easily amused. lol)

Darn, I think that will be too big for her. She's tall for 12, but still. I don't think her feet are very big.
She's already in bed, but I'll look tomorrow and double check.
In any event, at least now I know what I am looking for. That style is perfect.
