I have a friend who used to go into her parents room pretty much every day, and try on anything that she could get a hold of. She grew up to be a fashion designer, just as everyone who knew her expected. […]

Creative Party Theme Ideas

Coming up with creative party theme ideas gets harder and harder the older you get. When you’re a kid, coming up with creative parties is really easy. Basically, all you have to do is be the first to have a theme party dedicated to a particular show or character that you and your friends like.

Grim Reaper Costume

Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. Usually, I spend weeks and weeks preparing for it. I make the best Halloween costume I can, and I usually get some very positive reactions. Nevertheless, last year there was a change. I was just coming into town the day before Halloween from an extended business trip, and I knew I would have no time to put together a costume.
