Three of My Halloween Costumes

Gypsy Fortune Teller costume revealed my most dazzling self Wearing hot pink, silver, gold, purples, and flaming oranges. Carrying a crystal ball, tarot cards and runes. An elaborately embroidered shawl over my shoulders. Enjoyed myself ever so much at the Octoberfest, reading palms. My psychic self pranced forth, hugging my soul with delight. Pirate Queen costume, reveals my hidden slashing self. She looked so unassuming, they thought, until they saw me now. My blousy sleeves set off my enormous black boots and eight inch belt. I moved daringly, with aggressiveness I usually cannot muster. The crowd cleared a way, seeing my determined purposeful pirate walk. Sword and pistol attached to my side, I felt a confidence I rarely feel. I growled at a few children and they laughed, because they knew me. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark costume revealing more than I should have. My sensual, sexual, excited to be me side, so I shared it only with my man. Wearing it at home, in the bedroom where others rarely go. He likes this one the best. Even better than my French maid costume. Enough said.

I take it that when you're "Elvira", you don't have to show a movie.

I don’t have to show a movie when I am wearing any of my costumes. Wink. wink.
