πŸŽƒ End of a Successful Spooky Season πŸŽƒ

One of the pros to having a healthy and active social life is being more motivated to take part in festivities and making plans. Armed with a solid group of friends, some old and new, taking part in things has been a lot less difficult to do. I was actually able to attend quite a few Halloween themed activities this year, both on and off campus. I ended up having three looks this season, and I'm super happy with how they all turned out. 


First up is Pokemon Trainer.


As an avid Pokemon Go player, especially during the school year, I felt it was fitting to get out this old backpack and throw a look together. I won that backpack back in high school at a costume competition my local library was having - I was dressed as Fiona (Finn's official gender bend) from 'Adventure Time'. I had both a fem and masc fit planned out, I like having options that express my identity - not knowing how I'd feel the morning of the party. Decided on a masc look due to how I was feeling that day and ended up super happy with how it turned out. I loved how all my reds matched ♥️



Second look was Poison Ivy.


Thanks to good ol' Walmart coming in clutch with the $17 steal of a costume. I definitely partied harder than it was intended for - evidently by the loss of sequins and leaves throughout the night. Overall would give this a 8/10, I was able to go braless which is practically impossible for me. Very impressed with the quality.


Third look was simply a pumpkin.

 



Utilizing the headband from the Poison Ivy costume that I forgot to wear before and a bright orange sweater, I fashioned a cute but festive outfit for school today. Peep the pumpkin I had painted at school a few days prior. Made a spooky forest with yellow poui flowers. I've noticed I paint those flowers often, I miss seeing the tall yellow poui trees back in Jamaica that would make the entire ground a yellow carpet. They were festive in their own way, maybe that's why I paint them any chance I get.


Highlight of the day was seeing this guy while getting lunch. Super cool fur suit based off Lucario (A Pokemon I LOVE), I was totally freaking out. He was so nice, I really appreciated him taking a pic with me. My friends kept poking fun at me for blushing lol, I'm all for things odd and people weird. The world needs more weird (pls weird responsibly and within reason y'all).

I'm looking forward to ending the year with an even more motivated, confident and determined version of myself leading the way. God willing, the folks who've come to know me and have changed my life will stick around and we'll continue creating fun memories to look back on. Now on to November (⁠γƒŽ⁠^⁠_⁠^⁠)⁠γƒŽ

Bar Review: Nostalgia

Last Thursday night, I went out on another date with my partner at the same little bar I mentioned a few posts ago. It's called Nostalgia and is a very cute 90's themed bar in Bethpage, NY. We went for what we found out is going to be a new monthly drag show hosted by some of my friends who are drag queens along with performances by other local queens as well.  (Video shows a quick vid I took of one of the sets done by my very talented friend Gemma Tolstoy  ) The bar is very queer friendly and definitely in my opinion a safe space for LGBTQ+ folks looking to go out and have a fun time. Definitely a mixed crowd bar depending on the night, when I go tends to be more folks in their 20's with just a  sprinkling of those in their 30's and 40's. The place is totally decked out throughout with everything 90's from movie memorabilia, autographed headshots of 90's celebs, fun colored lighting, Pokemon decor around the bar, CD and comic book themed bathrooms and the r...

Bar Review: Kitty Mulligans

I recently went on a date with my partner to a local Irish Bar in my area called Kitty Mulligans. I follow them on Instagram and was excited to see them post about having bingo nights as a weekly event on Thursdays. I'm a big fan of playing bingo, I find it to be a fun game to play while chilling and having some food. Our reservation was made the day before and when we went in our name was on a little chalkboard on our table. A very cute touch that I haven't seen before. The owner introduced himself and was a sweetheart.  The layout of the bar was separate from the large counter was a side section for tables and booths with nice big barn doors separating them. The side with tables and booths is a space that can be booked for private events which I thought was cool. The list of food and drinks on their website was actually shorter than the actual sit down menu. We took quite a while to decide on what to get. My partner and I both shared their Grilled Chicken Flatbread and their ...

Sketchbook dump (and Author's Note)

Here's a few sketch pieces I've done so far this year. Trying to keep the momentum of drawing a few sketches every month; hoping to do at least three big pieces of work and two or more commissions in 2024.  Currently working on a paper addressing myths/stereotypes regarding women and their capabilities regarding operating and maintaining motor vehicles. I'll most likely condense the paper and post it under my creative writing tag and whatnot. Definitely look out for that and feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts. Thanks for visiting my blog :) enjoy the rest of your week ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧
