All Hallow's Eve...or the day after

So, Halloween is not exactly my favorite holiday. Even my love of candy can't save this holiday for me. I don't like scary movies, haunted houses, or corn mazes. The only thing I like about Halloween is doing fun make up. But my friend Lexie texted me on Friday and asked if I had any Halloween spirit left because we were going to party. A costume party to be precise. Luckily, I had a easy costume I've used before. Meet Rosie the Riveter
 
So, this a poster from the 40's promoting women working in factories and such during World War II. Just a little Fun Fact for you, in case you've been living under a rock. I love this poster! So, for those of you that don't know, I collect pin-up art. This evokes that same feel for me and like I said, fairly easy to put together if you're in a pinch.
 
SO, this is what you need to Rosie yourself:
-Chambray/denim button down shirt
-A pair of dark washed straight-leg jeans
-A red bandanna
-work boots
 
For my hair, I curled it and put Velcro rollers in for added volume, like so...
Make sure you do the top curled back! After they are all cooled and set, I removed the rollers and brushed my fingers through it. You long haired girls will probably want to pin most of the back up, or use your bandanna to bundle it up. I obviously don't have this problem. Leave the front piece out and roll it back into a curl shape and pin it. Fold your bandanna and tie it on top of your head, right behind the little pin curl you made.
 

Ta-dah!
Don't mind Zi! She was mad we were leaving her and jumped into my picture. Attention whore... 
 
For my make up, I did thick cat-eye liner, red lips and a dark (for my blonde, nonexistent) eyebrow. I tied my shirt at the bottom since I don't tuck in my shirts. NOT a good look for me...ugh.
Lexie's friends were all dressed as rappers. Lex decided on Flavor Flav...
 
and it was AWESOME. I braided her hair into four cornrows, took the clock off the wall and we were golden!
 
Here is a group shot of the rappers...and me,
Snoop Dog (or is it Lion, now?), Nasty Dogg (?), Nelly, Tupac and Flav
 
It was a way fun party and I met some new people. Including this fella...

 
Obviously, I was having a good time because I thought this was the most hilarious thing I'd ever seen. I just HAD to have a picture with him, so he was nice and humored me. Superman, who ever you are, thank you for making my night!
 
Hope you all had a fun Halloween weekend and ate your body weight in candy!
