So I’m going to a party in a few weeks. A Halloween party. This party will be similar to the one I attended years back. One that left me wide eyed and forever changed. A party that inspired my book The Pirate’s Booty. If you’ve not read the book, well there’s an opening scene that’s, err, very provocative and hmm… gee, it’s a little hard to explain. Anyway it’s hot.  

As I said, it’s been years since I attended this type of party. I don’t even do much at them but sit around with my eyes wide open, and my jaw on the floor. But it’s fun and it’s social. And let me tell you, I need social since I don’t get out much. So I’m…really looking forward to this occasion. Now here’s where I need your help.

With this type of party, and with the type of person I am (actually a bit shy, but try to pretend I’m not and try to look a bit sexy!) I’m trying to decide what to wear. I only have a couple of weeks to decide. And there IS a bit of a theme. Here it is:

The theme this year is MAGIC of every order~supernatural or illusion, mystical or miraculous. Come as you are~bewitching, magical and bright.

So umm. I write paranormal spuratically. And I’m looking at this going…Harry Potter? A witch? I’m not totally creative with this subject. I have no idea of my options or how to build my own costume. And that’s why I’m turning to you guys. I want to have fun and look cute/sexy. So what should I do? Buy a pre-made costume and call it good, or try to put something fabulous together. What would you do? Throw me some ideas! Because I need them. Otherwise I’ll just end up in something like this which seems way too expensive ($80)and just looks cheap and boring.
