I wish I could write a poem

[minoanmiss]

My Halloween costume this year was three LED lights (zipper pulls) and a Moon hair clip, arranged to 'float' in my hair. (I wore a star-covered shirt with it. I meant to add a scarf covered it GITD stars but they wouldn't adhere.)

My favorite aspect of a really popular and well-recieved costume (bee) is its effect on me: when I stepped into dark places, light glimmered around me from the stars in my hair.

Sounds wonderful, star stuff!

Oh, that sounds lovely! It's so much fun to wear things that light up, and it must have looked wonderful on you!

I always try to wear some sort of costume for handing out trick-or-treat treats, although I usually just put something together out of clothes I already have (keeping in mind that my "everyday" wardrobe includes things like shiny silver leggings and metallic-purple tops). This year I wore a dress from Holy Clothing (the only dress I own, and it's actually a ritual garment), ankle length with big bell sleeves, and a shiny purple witch's hat I've owned for decades, with my "crown of lights", which I made last year, as a hatband. (I love wearing that crown, for exactly the reason you loved your GITD ornamentation: in the dark, I can see the light around me!) Oh, and I was wearing a few necklaces, also usually worn in rituals - "hide in plain sight", much? :-)

LEDs are God's gift to Halloween costumes!

That sounds lovely! And where are the pictures of you in it?

Yes, yes, yes

I will second corylea, both her statement and her question about a picture of your costume.
