Daily Outfit -- Hallowe'en Eve 2008
[ 1 November 2008 ]
Last night I went to a hallowe’en party hosted by Mariah Carey. On the down side, it was lame. On the plus side, my outfit was awesome. If I do say so myself.
It was almost impossible to get good photos of it though, as you can see. Believe me, we tried!
Latex nun’s dress & habit from Twist My Rubber Arm
Latex gloves from some fetish shop
Guess Borda platform mary janes
Why yes, I was cold! I had also never worn latex before. It is an arduous process, involving lots of baby powder (which you have to coat your body with to get the dress on), crazy shimmying antics (to actually get into it) & rubbing the entire thing with liquid silicon to make it shiny. It also feels like you’re wearing a swimming cap. & it makes a funny noise when you walk.
Tonight I am going to wear something that doesn’t involve catching pneumonia in the name of dressing up! How about you? What are your plans for hallowe’enie?
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

Ahaha, wonderful! Props on dedication to a costume!
We’re having a Halloween party at work, and I’m currently a bird’s nest, ie teased up hair with tiny eggs, feathers and a fake bird inside, and a giant poofy skirt with a robin’s egg polka dot t-shirt. It’s sort of an outfit I would wear anyway, just including giant hair. I’m planning on going to a burlesque show later and think I may just wear my petticoat, some ruffle panties with feathers and the big hair.
Your make up is fabulous in the first photo.
Halloween for me: Magenta from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, I totally have the hair for it.
Ah! That’s ace!
I’m going as Mario tonight, my boyfriend is Luigi :) Much fun was had making comical hats last night!
Sounds a little uncomfortable, but it looks great!
impromptu photo shoot calls my name!!!!
Yay Halloween! Last night there was a big party for my university, and my friend and I went as lizards. I shaved my hair into a mohawk, and drew little pebbley scalesall over my face and neck. Then I did massive pointy eyes and wore all red (I was a red lizard). She was the same in green. We both had big collars behind our necks, too, as that sort of fan lizards have. It was so much fun making lizard-y faces all night :-)
And I definitely was cold, too! Wearing tights and party clothes in line to get in somewhere, and walking there and back, is always a bit of a pain. Fortunately, I still have all my fingers and toes!
xx
Hehe, I considered going as a nun as well. ;)
I’m going to be Electric Barbarella (the sex robot). I just posted pictures of the makeup I’m going to wear – the skin is all shimmering-gold! Crazy shit!
Oh! plans were made and Halloween celebrated in Halcyon style! hee
My caper? I traversed the Party Threshold as a MDE.....that is for the uninitiated….a Modern Day Eve with the juiciest RED apple as my LURE lol! such fun!
My lovely went as Adam….with Chanel’s new sparkly purple gloss kissed all over his face & some diamante handcuffs—-yes bound to eVe forEVA!! :D
However, being the MDE that I was….I left one cuff free for him to indulge in some flirty feminine fruits if he so wished wink wink! LOL
OH such FUN!
Did you get hit on by anyone famous? Did you did you?
Great costume Gala, pure festive dedication.
Tonight I will be dressing up as Elvis for a Dead Musicians Party!
There will surely be pictures to come so check out my blog soon if you fancy a peep at what I’m wearing:

Adoration x
And I always thought latex would be warm! You poor thing. I can only imagine how chilly it was, based on what our own weather here has been like…
Ah! You are so FABulous!
Well, I’ve always held a love-hate relationship with Haloween – on the plus side I love dressing up, being ridicualous and getting free candy. Also my mum does the house up amazingly over the top! It’s wonderfull. On the downside it’s my birthday tomorrow so I’m bitter that it detracts the attention! Petty, I know but have you ever had someone steal your spotlight? Exactly!
Still I’m sitting here dressed as a banana.. :)
It was a bet. I lost. I’m a banana.
It looks a bit like that corn on the cob suit Nubby was wearing a few weeks back!
Vixxie.
P.S Another reason for my grudge – my birthday presents from my forgetfull friends is usually left over candy!
Still..depends what it is… :D
unfortunately, no hallowe’en party for me so i have been living vicariously through creating hallowe’en costumes on polyvore: here!
oh, i love it!
i’m going as a witch. my usual hallowe’en costumes tend to be a bit eccentric, but this year i wanted to be traditional somewhat.
i’m currently in the process of deciding how i will do my makeup.
love the costume! have fun tonight! and keep being my favourite blogger!
muah
Fabulous outfit! But I bet it was a PITA like you said. ha, ha! I wore a latex outfit once to be a vampire and sheesh, it was a mess. HOT in Florida but I’m still going to wear a nice comfy cape to stay warm while handing out the treats.
Happy Hauntings, Gala & friends!
my friends and i are having a gossip girl halloween:
one is a victrola girl, the other serena and i’m blair!
although i’m also wearing a big faux fur coat because its utterly freezing!
i love your outfit! :) x
Hey Gala… very kinky! I know the pain of the rubber costume, though – I once had to help a crazy friend into a pair of bizarre rubber leggings for a costume party. I had to run to the nearest store for more talcum powder!
I am spending this Halloween with my younger sister and her insane housemates in Newcastle (UK)... we are having a huge Halloween bash – I’ve been baking orange and green cupcakes and making pumpkin cobbler all day!! I’m dressing up as Medusa with backcombed dreadlock-type snakey hair… I’m off to don my costume once I’m done typing this! Hopefully we’ll end up in a cool club in the city somewhere this eve, rocking our funky stuff to Thriller!
I don’t think I could stand the texture of that latex against my skin but it looks awesome!
Tonight I am going as a lame-arsed effort at minnie mouse, mostly because I have the dress (http://www.asos.com/Ring%20Bikini%20Pants/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=%20380841) and yellow shoes for it. My boyfriend is also going with the rodent theme but is going as a big horrible rat! He is often compared to a rat by his friends, they all have animal counterparts for each other.
Murder Victim – bloody murder weapon (plastic fork dipped in melted red candy), fake blood, chalk outlines and empty glasses at every party stop!
A friend is going as a police/military officer with crime scene tape, chalk, plastic gloves, evidence bags, flashlight, and a siren on the bike.
Ack, where’s TiLT? You look so Julie Andrews! (Which is a supremely high compliment!!) I had other commitments for Halloween, but I had some trick or treaters come to the door and get Such A Surprise when it was opened by a teacher from their school :D
you look great. sexy, but not slutty. xD
a mariah carey halloween party? how random!
i have a gig hooping tonight at a bar, so i’ll just be wearing some burning man hooping get-up. fishnets, garter belt, vest, sparkly NIN-esque goth platform gogo boots, neon bra, etc. etc. i really wanted to be miho from the comic book sin city. i was gonna wear my ninja rollerblades and have the sexier miho costumer underneath my ninja miho outfit and take off the ninja outfit at whatever party i attended…oh well. can’t turn down a good job & i’m sure i’ll have fun even if i’m just being my hula hooping alter-ego for halloween.
last year i was leeloo from the fifth element because i had orange leeloo hair. my costume was perfect…& it was so much fun being my fictional idol! it’ll be hard to top that one. other ideas i have for future costumes include julie winters from “the maxx,” a circus girl from the 1890s, & marchesa luisa casati (i loved your friend’s costume you posted last year!).
This year, me and my roommates are going as characters from the video game American Mcgee’s “Alice.” Together, we are Alice, The Mad Hatter, March Hare, and the Doormouse. It’s going to be spectacular.
The first picture is brilliant! Your eyes look insanely large and beauitful! Did you get to meet Mariah Carey?
Love the outfit Gala!!!
How come the party was lame?
I’m just having a little soiree at a friend’s house. And I’m going as a matador! Ole!
I love your costume! It sounds like a lot of work, though!
I am dressing up as Columbia from the Rocky Horrow Picture Show. It took me three hours to make that ridiculous sequined tailcoat, but it was well worth it. Plus, my friend Spencer is dressing up as the famous transvestite, Dr. Frank’N‘Furter. It’s going to be amazing! I’m so excited! Eee!
I’m going to the local bar with my boyfriend :D it was his birthday yesturday and I’m dressing up as snow white :]
I can’t wait! i made my own costume and everything , nows the time to show it off! :D
You look amazing in that first pic!! I hope you have a better time tonight. After stumbling upon black and white striped leg warmers I decided to dress up like a fafinette! I’m super excited =]
I love that first photo!
I’m dressed as Frida Kahlo. It was a last minute costume but I LOVE it — this is the first time I’ve dressed up in ages! Going to a dance party at an art museum, hopefully it’ll be fun. :)
I am at work right now, so I am in my toned down costume as an owl, with feathers in my hair and glasses. ta da
tonight, i dont know what i am doing, but i am wearing my fun costume which is a lion. rawr! it involves short shorts, big hair and lots of gold. :D
Tonight, I actually have tickets to see Equus on Broadway. (Yay, naked Harry Potter!)
Tomorrow, my wiccan friends are throwing a murder mystery role-playing party. My character is Ann Stone – a customs agent (and ex British SAS) undercover as a drifter tracking a treasure hunter circa 1947. There’s a gun holster and a sweet looking knife involved.
I wonder if I’m the murderer? :)
Anyway, great costume, Gala! It looks great on you!
Oh Gala! you looked faaantastic in that costume!
I live in a very small city, it barely deserves the “city” title…trust me on that one! But on the upside it means that pretty much everyone I know will be found at the same place tonight…ON A PUBCRAWL BUS!!! I’m going as a 1920’s flapper — feathers and fringes are my best friend tonight!
Cheers to Halloween! hope you have an amazing night!
I’m going to be Tank Girl! Docs, shredded stockings, leather miniskirt, army vest, bullseye shirt I made this morning, Colt 45 earrings (I couldn’t find anything like hers, so I figured earrings commemorating malt liquor would suffice!)and one of those winter hats with the fur and earflaps. All I need now is a bandaid and a kangaroo.
Totally cute, but I can only imagine how hard it was to get on, and then off again!
I’m going out tonight, dressed at Bellatrix Lestrange! (that is, if I can get my costume finished in time) I cannot wait!
Haha, how very Gala of you. I’m gonna be a skanky school girl, which while it’s very unoriginal:
1. I’m a procrastinator
2. I can only get away with dressing like this for so long
3. I already had all the pieces
Oh well! Hope you have a good/safe night!
I am Phillip J Fry from the show Futurama. I love it!!! I have ballet, thats about it.
You have got to be the freakin’ CUTEST person I’ve ever seen over the age of 10. Everything you wear just sets you off. Here’s to latex dresses on Hallow’s Eve, the only time you can reasonably pull one off in public! ...though I don’t think it’s as easy as all that. The pulling off part ~.^
I’m going as Waldo from Where’s Waldo? I’m just going to a couple of bars, but I’m really excited for my easy costume, haha.
i was a french (franien) maid (franien being an inside joke) it was cold… but i was freakin sexy!!!!
i should have had youre costume… it would have been perfect! im already a nunn!!
I’m going as Amy Winehouse, I’m so excited. I just did my hair, it’s huge! I googled how to do a beehive, and go figure, icing popped up. are you good at EVERYTHING gala? haha. lovelove. you are a cute nun!!!
love it!
i’m being sarah palin. it was last minute and all i really needed were fake glasses & a toy rifle from the dollar store (i’ll be hunting for someone in a moose costume all night)
dude did you actually pay the 250 bucks for that thing??? halloween = not big part of australia, but i did go to my uni halloween party as a russian model addicted to cocaine and my friend was a mafia boss on whos lap i was sitting lghtng his cigars with 50 dollar bills
i’m going to a party hosted by my old bandmates, dressed as tank girl!

happy hallowz baybeeeeeee
1940’s French spy!
HAWT!
i was an Undead 30s chorus girl. It was fun! I frightened my neighbours.
My friend says that you look like an anime character n_n.
awesome outfit! seems a tad uncomfy though. unfortunately my halloween sucked. i had to get surgery so now i’m home recovering. ugh. and last year i had to write two papers. i hate missing halloween, it’s one of my favorite holidays and i couldn’t do anything :(
Too cute!!
I’m going to the bar with my bestfriend/roommate. We dressed up like majestic animals. She’s going as a Unicorn, and I’m going as Manbearpig from South Park.
:) we’re pretty cute.
i took my daughter trick-or-treating (her first time!) with my husband. i was a flapper, my husband was bob ross and my daughter was a lily. we had perfect minnesota halloween weather: a balmy 55 degrees. we didn’t even need jackets!
you’re costume is brilliant. :)
I dressed as Marla Singer. I got to act crazy and ultra sultry. My friends all saw me in a completely new light!
Vinyl looks so hot! (literally and figuratively) hehe
Great! You look a bit like Mata Hari on a dangerous yet successfull mission!
Kim at comment #3- my English teacher and her husband did the exact same thing! :D
I went as the Cheshire Cat, with socks from Sock Dreams (which I found through you, actually! Excellent product.) My boyfriend was a Civil War soldier, so we made quite the anachronism.
Wow, I cannot imagine what that must have been like wearing that. 0.0
Ahhh, so that’s the fabled latex nun costume? Nice. Am I OCD for thinking that the cross should be pink to match the trim?
I’m in the nearby state of CT and I guess nobody told you that for Halloween in New England you need to dress really warm despite your costume – I had on two shirts, a sweater, leggings, and knee-high sweater socks to go out! So it’s a shame you were cold :(
I was a pink Lolita bunny :)
Last night, I dressed as a dead fairy (weird, I know) while my friends ran up and down the street wearing tin hats, screaming, “THE GOVERNMENT IS COMING FOR YOU, THEY CAN SEE INTO YOUR BRAINS!” (I’m not quite sure what they were)
My costume:

Haha, I love it. I went as a zombie nun a few hallowe’ens ago, it was fun :D
This year, me and my boyfriend went as Gomez & Morticia Addams. It was AWESOME.
Amazing costume! I was Audrey Hepburn last night, I’m not sure if I’m dressing up tonight though b/c I would want to be something different and I didn’t prepare. I’ve always wanted to try some latex :)
i went as a overdosed model. i put “cocaine”(icing sugar) under my nose and carried around a mirror with “lines on it”.it was a super party!
Im going as a mixture between dorothy (the wizard of oz) and the wicked witch. Aka: Dorothy costume (blue pinafore) + striped stockings + glimmering red shoes. Quite fabulous.
I was Elizabeth Swan! It was fabulous.
I dressed as a unicorn: i24.photobucket.com/albums/c1/...
My costume was inspired by the 80s and…YOU Miss Gala!
It was fantabulous.
Yes, fantabulous.
eeee, i WANT that dress! i was emily davison – an english suffragette who was trampled by the king’s horse in 1913. lots of velvet and lace, elbow-length gloves, a huge round-brimmed hat, a ‘votes for women’ sash and fake blood and bruise makeup everywhere. :D!!!
Gala, with all this negative (not iCiNG-friendly!)criticism of late, I wanted to just thank you instead…
do you agree that your adventures in NY & around are a testimony to the power of the Universe?!
If so, then I totally agree with you, & the essence that iCiNG is based on (in my eyes) because SO many things that I have wished for & imagined are coming into my life & I just wanna say, once again, how thankful I am for just those little sparks of inspiration that you’ve brought so many of us.
x love, Tasj
hi gala!
it has been awhile since i’ve been into the blogging world but i have finally updated!
your halloween outfit is so good!
the colour of your hair goes well with it =]
2 of my friends and i dressed up as the 3 blind mice.
happy halloween
I have this rule where I never buy a complete costume from a store. I haven’t used a store bought main piece (clothing whatnot) since I was probably 10, it’s more fun this way… This year, I went as a drow (dark elf) so I had to paint my face black and wear a blond wig. = ) I think I scared the life out of about forty percent of the people we met, including my resident aid.
I have the pieces of the costume up here…
www.polyvore.com/happy_hallowe…
and I’m getting the pictures uploaded as soon as they send me them… my camera was being annoying, but they have some really good ones. XD Some of my friends went as the joker (two of them lol, both were very,very scary), a death knight (wearing actual armour lol), a death GOD, and a pirate/gay salsa dancer if he took off his hat. Joker #1 and I both won awards!
Latex is awesome. I wore a pvc catsuit, sewed cat ears on to a mask and drew eyeliner whiskers on my face. A bit boring, but fun.
i was a Nu Rave kid. I had my neon adidas, neon pink tights from AA, black shortshorts, colorful hoodie with the hood up, white tee with a colorful godzilla print thing, some white framed bug-eyed sunglasses, and finally, tons of glowstick bracelets.
I was a (Admittedly slutty) little red riding hood, my boy was the lumberjack! we are pretty cute tho.

I would have thought wearing rubber would be really warm?
How did you get an invite to a Mariah Carey party…..don’tyou have to be like super-duper A list or something for shit like that?!?
Your Nun outfit looks excellent!!!
Fabulous costume Gala! I can’t imagine how much time it took to wiggle into that dress!
I got lucky this year and got to have 2 costumes. My first costume was Raggedy Anne; my neighbor,who is a fabulous artist,made me an Andy doll to carry around as well. My secound costume I borrowed mostly from a friend-I was a cat.But not just any cat,my costume and make-up was based on the Cats musical. I had a blast!
I dont usually get dressed up for hallowen, I often get a mask but your costume looks fantastic, I think I might consider dressing up next year.
i had my first live audio engineering job behind the desk for a whole heap of bands at a halloween extravaganza complete with burlesque dancers.
I went as dorothy from the wizard of oz complete with white tights and ruby slippers, I also glued little red jewels in little places all over my costume and teased my pink hair really big in the back and put it in really long pig tails with ribbons that reached my elbows and curled the ends slightly…I think I’m going to wear my hair like that everyday.
Fan-tabulous. Next question — guns or knives? ;)
