Haunting in Heels Contest

“It’s close to midnight and something evil’s lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You’re paralyzed

‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night . . .

“Night creatures calling, the dead start to walk in their masquerade . . . Cause this is . . .

Halloween

That is the perfect song to set the mood and kick start this contest off right.

Remember when that video premiered? It was an event. We all gathered around the television with friends and family and sat mesmerized the entire thirteen minutes. Afterwards, we released the breath we had been holding with a long very amazed, WOW and Michael Jackson . . .well, he conquered the music world.

I digress.

What contest? It’s the Queen in Heels Halloween Costume Contest . . . Haunting in Heels.

That’s right.
Why a Halloween Costume Contest?

We love dressing up, almost as much as we love high heels.

Have you ever played dress-up when you were a little girl?  Of course you have. Maybe you would raid your mother’s closet, put on one of her dresses and a pair of high heels, then parade around like a movie star. Some of you probably were lucky enough to have a costume wardrobe, filled with princess dresses and purses to take to tea parties with the teddy bears.

Now we are grown and we still love to play dress up. Thankfully, Halloween let’s us do so without drawing puzzled stares from our loved ones and co-workers.

Halloween allows the school teacher, by day, let out her inner rock star for a night. It allows the biker girl to wear white angel wings on her back and a silver halo on her head.

Dressing up is like putting on a new personality. How can one put on a blond wig and white dress and not feel her inner Marilyn Monroe emerge? Or put on that sweet fairy costume with a hint of sexy and not feel a tinge bit mischievous?

And here we are again, October, the month of dress-up and Halloween.

Have you decided who you are going to be this year?

There are so many possibilities and so many personalities to choose from.

What is a girl to do?

If you haven’t figured it out (or even if you have) here are a few tips:

* Be Creative: If you want to be the Queen Fairy of the Vampire Mushroom people who live in the Purple Valley (uumm . . . good luck on designing it); please, go for it. Being creative means being unique. You will stand out from the rest of the fairies, witches and wenches. However, there is a one thing, don’t over do it or you will find yourself spending the night explaining your costume and missing the fun.

* Avoid showing too much skin: The purpose of a costume is to dress up. If all you are wearing a bra, short shorts, and high heels . . . people will only think you want attention. And all attention isn’t good attention.

* Dressing up as a couple is fun: Make sure that you complement each other.

* Avoid bulky costumes: We don’t want you to knock over the drinks of those around you. And bumping into others all night is not fun for other guests or you.

* Indulge your fantasies: This is the perfect time of the year to allow yourself to lose yourself. If you have been secretly wishing you were a clown, well then girlfriend get that red nose.

* If you are dressing up and if high heels are a part of your costume: we want to see them.
