Ah, Halloween! My favorite major holiday. It's an excuse to dress like a freak, animal, slut, or some other guise and run around town doing whatever you want ~ what could be better?! In past years I've dressed in varied costumes; princess, gypsy, Barbie, black cat, rock star, belly dancer, Madonna, mermaid... you get the idea. Since I was little my costumes have run the gamut from those I (or my mother^^) put together from things I owned or could make easily, like the princess, gypsy, cat, Madonna, or 2009's Dr. Frank N. Furter from the Rocky Horror Picture Show; to straight out of the package - the belly dancer, mermaid, and Jane Jetson in '07, complete with wig and boot tops.
Then this year, I decided it was time to really exploit my untapped art skills. Now, it should be known that when left with a paper and markers or crayons, I'll usually draw things like kindergarten fish and flowers, or abstract patterns. To say I'm creative is a huge stretch. But I did get the idea for 2010's Halloween costume from an all text webpage of costume suggestions and carried it off without help from anyone else!
I decided I'd be a kissing booth! So I set off to the post office to get a box, and the stationery store for some sticky label paper to make what would be my most creative (and cumbersome) Halloween costume yet.

My night was very interesting in this costume! I had many many propositions for kisses, on the cheek, on the lips, some people even kissed the box! I got 4 phone numbers! I guess it comes with the territory, haha! Plus I got to spend time with all my favorite girls in Korea. It's become a tradition to do Halloween in Seoul with my old friend Jill and her girls so I started there in Itaewon.

After dinner, some drinks, and a good bit of dancing, I headed out to Hongik University to meet my best Busan girl (also in Seoul for the weekend) and a couple mutual friends. They had some excellent costumes, but unfortunately we all neglected to get pics together.
