Being Maddow:

The Maddow Breakdown:

I think I decided I wanted to be Rachel Maddow sometime over the summer and it was pretty much decided.

[read]

 

I thought it would be hilarious to get a picture with the nun.

This woman actually gave me an awesome idea in what to do with my life.

I really hope the idea works out, it is truly right up my alley.

I went with my friend Brooke (another Maddow fan), who was Kesha-

 the counterpart to her boyfriend, Mustard.

This was another funny picture because I'd like to think that Kesha and Rachel Maddow would not pose together...but I could be wrong about that. 

She even gave me rabbit ears.

That is so Ke$ha, that bitch.

Of course, sporting Levi's with Doc Marten 1940's.

Blazer with light coloured shirt. I batted around the idea of a black shirt...

and doing the whole "I'm a guest" look.

I also contemplated going as her look from her commercials;

So I kind of did both.

Of course I had to sport my red watch!

(you can most likely see it in the video above)

What was under the wig:

Coiled up blonde hairs and one painful little scalp!

This did not take as long as anticipated.

I have extremely thick, medium length hair and it took me 20 minutes.

This the progression that took place. It was perfectly brush-able. Just huge.

Think Monica when they are in Barbados;

I am really glad I went to a Halloween party this year dressed up as someone awesome.

Normally I just come up with a costume idea, but don't have anywhere to exhibit it, so it never ends up happening. I got a lot of compliments and everyone was surprised that I didn't have short hair.

I had some really good conversations with people and ended up talking a lot of random smack about Republicans that was all in good fun.

OH. And this may or may not have happened;

I think the best part is when at the end, Sarah goes, "Someone get this girl a hot dog!"

. . .

Casual Friday Reports:

this is a close up:

skirt: H&M circa 2004? (I saw this glitter tulle tutu-thing and knew it had to be mine)

 tights & purple socks: Target, striped shirt: Forever 21 black tank top: acquired from mom

This was this past casual Friday. I pulled out the witch-y stops.

I was extremely disappointed to see that I was the only person to embrace the spirit!

This is one of my favourite days of the year.

I was so bummed to be at Target and discover they seemed to have packed up the Halloween stuff and have unveiled the Christmas overload.

I won't rock the look again today, but I will be in this kind of festive-look mode!

Tonight my counterpart and I will be headed around the South Side.

I'm taking the train in and am dying for some Argo Tea!!!

I have no idea what is in store, but I look forward to a good gin & tonic...

with four limes, and it's things like this that make me think I should dress as Maddow today.

My New Obsession:

Ceremonials comes out TOMORROW and I am debating about getting it on Vinyl...

EVERYONE MUST GET IT.

I AM SO REVVED FOR THE CHICAGO THEATRE SHOW!!!!!!

DEC. 4 I CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S HAPPENING!
