yay samhain!

Music: Brendan Perry: Eye of the Hunter (1999)

With the wonderful, brilliant, heart throb Dan Brouwer in town (who did a smashing talk yesterday) and a costume party at my house tonight, bloggin's gonna be sparse this weekend (tomorrow is one of the two three days of the year I reserve for hangovers, along with Lent and May Day). Just tried on my costume. It's fab, except for the pants are too big and there's no place for a belt (losing weight is great, but it's important not to drop my drawers in front of a bunch of people). I am going out to buy suspenders after the keg arrives. Meanwhile, for a little of the (Marxian) history of Halloween, see my post from last year. Instead of a long post, I'll share with you this real life spooky image of a woman who sprouted a horn (click image for larger version). Kinda nasty, ain't it? I mean, it looks like a turd coming out of her head, except it's hard bone. And apparently this happens to others around the world. Proof of the demonic? Mwhaahahahahaha! If this image don't creep you out, how about this one of Klaus Kinski? Wishing y'all lots of treats tonight, maybe even the nice treat of a trick!
