Hallowe'en meme

[elingregory]

LOL, meme - gacked from bitchy_brat and it appeals particularly because it seems so bizarre to dress up like this for Hallowe'en when one should be huddling inside behind cold iron and rowan and bobbing for apples with your descendants to take your mind off the ancestors.

I suppose it says something quite sinister about me that I got a couple more shiny ideas out of this little list.

I'll be there, floaty robes like Demis Roussos!

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I'll make sure we get some butterbeer in and a fire extinguisher.

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

I did not. Blimey, though, how scary would a naked me be?

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

If I threw a party and you came to it I wouldn't CARE what you wore because it would be fun.

Though I'll make sure I have a blanket to hand just in case.

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

A blanket might still be too revealing. A suit of armour, mayhap?

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

AN ELEPHANT????!!!!

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

I have seen it done once at a rugby club dinner and - well let's just say it's something I can't unsee.

I'm sure your version would be much more elegant.

I can quite imagine, though I'd rather not....

I'm sure your version would be much more elegant.
Of course. I will dress like this:

Oh wow! That's a VERY classy heffalump!

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Very classy indeed. And I hope you don't mind if I bring a similarly elegant partner to your Hallowe'en party?

[alex-beecroft.livejournal.com]

I have the ideal dress for that. It's a date :)

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

Good, then sometime we'll have to do it. :D

[britalone.livejournal.com]

A catcher? Hmmm just what exactly do I have to catch? I'm well known for being rather clumsy!! :o)

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

I can't catch either.

But in this case I think it's that man in baseball who stands behind the man with the bat and wears all kinds of armour.

[josephine-myles.livejournal.com]

A tame wife?! Never!!! A highly insubordinate one, perhaps...

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

I was trying to imagine you all Stepfordian and failing miserably. Maybe we ought to have a category of "Stepford when I feel like it" wives?

[beckyblack]

The President of Singapore is apparently a chap named Tony Tan Keng Yam. I wonder if people call him TTKY for short? His symbol on the ballot paper was a pair of glasses, so since I'm a speccy myself, I'm ahead there. :D

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

I wonder if people call him TTKY for short?

:D probably not twice.

[wulfila.livejournal.com]

And it suited me disturbingly well? Oh dear, oh dear.

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

These memes!

Mind you, you can say what you like about Camilla vs the Sainted Diana, but Camilla wears some very fine tailoring. She looked fantastic at the Will/Kate bash.

[wulfila.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I have nothing against Camilla (I actually feel a bit sorry for her, always being measured unfairly against someone who was so idolized by many people). Nevertheless, I have to admit I don't really desire to look like her. ;)

[melanietushmore.livejournal.com]

Dwight Eisenhower.
lol, who? sounds american! XD

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

Well spotted. He was president when I was little. Don't remember much about him other than he was bald. Not the look I would think you would choose, but one can't argue with the meme :D

[melanietushmore.livejournal.com]

bald!!! ROFL ;p
