Vintage Halloween - Blog Posts
Starting October 1st
I will be posting *DAILY* Halloween themed posts. :-D
ok but we gotta talk more about vintage halloween costumes, we GOTTA
ESPECIALLY the diy ones. back before costumes were mass-manufactured, people were left to their own devices and shit got WILD.
It was an absolute free-for-all. back before you could buy a batman mask in a drug store for $5, people really just did whatever
and it was FABULOUS
bonus points to these early commercialization attempts. yes that is a batman dress
anyway there is a basic human drive to wear weird-ass clothing and we should incorporate this shamelessness into our daily lives. only the most meagre of social laws prevent you from dunking yourself in body glitter and wearing a cape & pointy hat to the grocery story on a regular basis. revise your life accordingly.

Usei essas imagens como inspiração de uma maquiagem que fiz recentemente, amei a vibe vintage e spooky.
I’m a day late about posting these, but recently I’ve received a very generous gift in the mail from @vavandeveresfan of some Beetlejuice merch she was kindly to give(Minus the skull that’s mine)) and I couldn’t ask for anything better for this Halloween. As for a few years now, I feel like I lost that Halloween spark, that special feeling when I had growing up for it and I can’t express how much this made me excited for the spooky season again.(Even though these are the last few days of it)) Nevertheless, I’m very happy and to receive a gift like this, especially from my favorite online author. Besides from her Beetlejuice collection, you can check out her other amazing works because I highly recommend them:
I really love these vintage stickers, magnets and playing cards. They came along with six vintage Valentine Day cards but I was hesitate on removing them from their neat clean envelopes so I didn’t take them out for pictures. There were also painted backgrounds stills from the animated series “Beetlejuice” as well but I don’t plan on taking them out until I get them properly framed.
It’s a small collection so far but it’ll become a museum one day.
