Just when I thought the costume party madness was over...
I had almost forgotten one of my favorite holidays, Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos that takes place on November 1st and 2nd to honor our loved ones who have passed away. This time of year gets particularly tough for me, with all the holiday's and family gatherings, I really notice the absence of the people that I've lost, especially my Mother. She really loved this holiday, and even dressing up and painting her face--maybe that's where I get it from--so I always try to do something to observe the holiday, and this year it involved some costume parties, and a photo shoot with my photographer friend Sarah, and Virginia and I played a Sugar Skull husband and wife. I'll be sure to share those photos when I see them myself, but you can see some video's from the party on my Viddy page.
These faux-suede Bandito Bells by American Gold are my new favorite pants, I'm actually wearing them again right now--they're so comfortable, you'll just want to sit around in them all day, every day, and I thought they added the perfect touch to my sugar skull outfit. Aaron took these right before I went out the door. It's always fun to be the adult with your entire face painted two days after Halloween.
