Halloween Dilemma

As once in a year Halloween approaches again, head-banging costume ideas are on the merge. This year, however, the goddess of head-banging ideas is not smiling upon me.

Over the years, as long as there is a party, I'd dress up. The costume ranged from school girl, Vicky Pollard, to construction worker. The point is not to impress, but to make use of what I have already and make a theme that'd inspire reaction.

This year, my options are Sookie, the waitress from True Blood, Lady Gaga, the new pop icon, or Yoko Ono. Yoko Ono would actually take the least amount of effort and no wigs are needed so I can show off my head of new short hair.
Though I'm still contemplating as Yoko is not as entertaining as it was to be Vicky, but if I were to prepare everything of the Gaga with a strap-on, then maybe it would be up to the dramatic standard that I've enjoyed so much.

On the other hand, being Yoko could have its plus side too, as she is known for her avant-garde monologues and 'art'. As the night falls and I get tanked up, Being in Yoko-mode would be like 'swimming in the fish of sea', coming up with something like: 'Millions of nails banged by the hammer with a linking chain'. This idea is actually growing upon me like 'the grapes of vine that spreads the universe.'

Well, I hope that by Saturday, I'd have decided one already. Whether it is to be the avant-garde artist or a hermaphrodite pop singer, this Halloween will be oozing with weirdness and hopefully, some head-turners too.

First, Vicky Pollard. Second, male construction worker. And then either a hermaphrodite (with a 'strap on') or ermmm Yoko.

I really think you need to ask yourself some big questions. Seriously, have you been eating tequila worms again?

Is the inner you emerging?

Or, as Mrs Lennon probably said,

'All that separates a pupae and a butterfly is time.

Time... that's trapped within the skin of its own chronology.

The clock ticks and lets loose the gooey inner.

And then, and only then, true wings will fly within.'

PS - is yoko standing in front of that street art you did in Liverpool?

Well... the final decision is still yet to be decided, little Hsueh will be venturing out to check out all possibilities for me today since I'll be overwhelmed with work.

(Not the strap on though)

Maybe the inner me IS indeed coming out, and this Halloween will be the time to release that fury... I mean butterfly within.
