A weekend of travelling through the stars!

Halloween is my favourite holiday.  As I say, it's the one time of the year when I can dress up however I like, and no one is allowed to say anything.

On Thursday, my brother and I dressed up as two members of the Serenity crew, Jayne and Mal, respectively.  I got to whip out my old browncoat (which I used the previous Halloween as my Tenth Doctor's coat) and suspenders, while I lent my brother the infamous Jayne hat.  We made a convincing team.

The next two nights, I really outdid myself.  Dressing up as the Eleventh Doctor, I had everything down to a tee.  Suspenders, bowtie, jacket; even the screwdriver and psychic paper made appearances.  Plus I got my hair to behave and look almost just like the real deal.  I even brought out the telescope for some friends and took them on an impromptu "journey through the stars."  I may not possess a TARDIS, but it was close enough!

Maybe it's part of the actor within me that loves to dress up and pretend to be someone else for a day or two.  After winning a costume contest at one party a few days ago, I told my friend, "the way I see it, it's not just a costume, it's a character."  And that makes it all the more enjoyable for me.
