So have you figured out what you’re going to be for Halloween yet? I don’t know why it takes me so long to decide on what I’m going to be. Maybe the fact that I’m a procrastinator might have something to do with it. Well I decided to visit a Halloween shop to check out what costumes they had this year.

My Five Minute Halloween Costume
Sometimes great things can come from procrastination. Case in point, my Halloween costume. I didn’t have one. It was a crazy month and I never got time to even think about what to be this year.

Enjoy the video below and read on to see how I made it.

Horror-ible Summer Swimwear
Sometimes its very hard to get any sort of Halloween spirit during the hot, long dog days of summer. I was shopping for sports equipment at a local sporting goods store, when I came across the most horrifying thing I’ve seen this season. That’s right..this is not a joke. Those little pumpkins and flying witches are someone’s idea of a cute bathing suit. What’s scarier is that the swimwear are in the adult women’s section. Wow! Then again, this is Los Angeles. I’ve seen worse. (I think…)
