Kitchen Costuming

Wow!  It has been awhile since I wrote a post on this blog.  I really have no excuse other than I have just been busy with other things. This year I took a break during my regular sewing binge to visit Disneyland during Halloween time.  I did manage to get some costuming in during this period, though.

Batman and his buds made another appearance at GameStop last night for the unveiling of the new game Arkham Asylum.  The turnout was rather small compared to the Ghostbuster game party in June, but lots of fun was had by all. 

Here are some of the attendees.

Batman and catwoman, of course

The Joker and his goon

Why so serious?

Don't be scared. Open your eyes!

See, they won't hurt you!

How many Jokers can we have in one night?

June was a busy month for Ghostbusters’ fans. The Ghostbusters’ franchise celebrated the 25^th anniversary of the movie with the release on June 16^th of Ghostbusters on Blu-ray disc. 

A highly anticipated video game with the original cast of Ghostbusters and realistic animation was also released the same day. 

June also heralded the 20^th anniversary of Ghostbusters II.  Now the fans are just waiting for Ghostbusters III to be made and they will be in Stay Puft marshmellow heaven!

Ugly witches, bed-sheeted ghosts, and ghoulish zombies are on the prowl again.  There is a chill in the air and…wait a minute, wasn’t it in the low nineties today approaching 100 degrees by this coming weekend?  It’s not Halloween?  Oh! I know!  There are lords and ladies, gypsies and pirates swinging swords and turkey legs. The Renaissance Festival is commencing!  But of course… now that I think of it… Ren faire just ended about a month ago.  Let’s see…the stormtroopers are out in force along with the X-men and Ghostbusters.  It must be Comicon! No…hmmm…we already did that… or, are we going to do that?  Now I know I saw Batman, Catwoman, Scarecrow, and the Joker.  I guess that means it could only be one thing…
