Happy Halloween! What's everyone dressing as this year? This year I'm going as everyone's favorite fire-wielding, Pringles crunching, devil-may-care Ghostbuster-the one, the only, Jillian Holtzmann! I may be lacking in the epic blond locks, but I promise you the sass is all there, folks!
That scene where she's dancing around to DeBarge with the fire...let's just say they probably got the idea for that hilarious scene from my own life in the kitchen. Consequently, I'm not allowed to cook in our house anymore. So I set a handful of paper towels on fire. Who cares! I had it under control!

I rarely purchase a pre-made Halloween costume, preferring to wear everyday items in an unexpected combination to make my costume each year. My closet was a bit lacking in the one-piece denim department, so I raided my roommate Kerri's closet to get all the materials I needed for this awesome ensemble!
I had originally planned on wearing a black leather jacket and burgundy fingerless gloves for an authentic Holtzy look, but it's going to be hot as fire out there this year. In fact, it's gonna be the hottest Halloween in about 66 years in Jonesboro! Yikes! The jacket will stay in my closet for now.
In the spirit of this heat wave, I topped a comfy olive green tee and Kerri's overalls with an old work shirt of my dad's that I frequently wear on messy painting adventures. This thing's got printer's ink, fake blood, acrylic paint, oil paint, glitter glue, car primer and spray mount among other materials all worked throughout the fabric. Kerri said I wasn't allowed to get paint splatters all over her overalls, (spoilsport!) so this is a good way for me to get the messy spray paint look of Holtzy's overalls without trashing my roomie's clothes! You're welcome, Kerri! Also, I'm not going to burn up as I'm roaming the streets looking for ghosts...I mean, candy.

And check out those stripey socks, dude! They are sooooo comfy. I picked up a 5 pack of these bad boys from H&M, and future Brittney from about 4 weeks into next winter is already congratulating current Brittney on her warm foot coverings...even though she's melting in this heat wave.
Happy Halloween! Remember, "safety lights are for dudes!"
