If You Need Halloween Costume Suggestions

Holey SheetDailyCandy Plays Dress Up

Last year, a slew of Freudian slips crashed your Halloween party.
What happened to the simple costumes of All Hallow’s past?
Well, we ain’t afraid of no ghost. And neither is lifestyle aficionado Jessica Murnane, who shared her freakishly creative guide to kicking it old school this Halloween.

Instructions
1. Buy a queen-size flat sheet (see guide below).
2. Find a trusty friend to help.
3. Turn sheet inside out.
4. Center sheet on your head (make sure length in front and back is equal).
5. Dust off souvenir shot glass you never thought you’d use. Trace glass for both eyes and mouth.
6. Take off sheet and cut out holes. Turn right side out.

Preppy Ghost:Have your monogram stitched on a crisp, classic white sheet.

Hipster Ghost:Hipsters are too cool to dress up. A white V-neck should do the trick. (Don’t forget the attitude.)

Modern Ghost:Look boo-tiful and bold with geometric shapes and color blocks by Jonathan Adler.

Tombstone(r) Ghost (a.k.a. Deadhead Ghost)Channel your hippie spirit with tie-dye.

VIP of the RIP GhostThe gaudiest ghost at the gala with a thread count so high it’s scary.
Humani-terrifying Ghost (a.k.a Pretty in Pink Ghost) Support Breast Cancer Awareness month and think pink with your sheet.

ChicaghostFace it: It’s cold in the Chi. Sometimes a sheet isn’t enough. Stay warm and cozy with a quilt instead.

Happy Halloween, boo.

Interesting...

I find the article below to be incredibly interesting. I consider myself more of an Independent than a Republican or Democrat. I don't restrict myself into voting within party lines. I want the candidate who is best for our city/state/country. I have definitely had some struggle with who I am going to vote for this November, but the time has come to make up my mind (and yours too). I challenege everyone, whether you are Republican or Democrat, to take a good look at the candidate you are choosing to vote for and determine why you are voting for them. Some of your reasons are not going to be good, and if you find yourself in that position- reevaluate your vote.

Republicans Voting for Obama: In Their Own Words

There are a number of people in my life -- some family, some friends, some colleagues -- with whom I have never agreed upon anything political. Ever. These are my political opposites. My bizarre-o twins. And they have been my adversaries in countless debates; the kind nobody ever wins, but nobody ever seems to tire of, either. 

Sadly, politics have become sort of a new sports league in modern culture. We don't really listen to each other's points of view so much as we pick a side and root for it. And just as with our favorite sports teams, our faith in our parties can become blind. I have had about as much success convincing my Republican father-in-law of my liberal points of view as I have had convincing my father, an Ohio State alumnus, to root for Michigan.

But over the last few months, something unprecedented has happened. Almost all these folks have told me that, for the first time ever, they are voting for the same candidate I am: Barack Obama. 

Now, these are not casual conservatives. These are people who, each in their own way, are deeply committed to their conservative beliefs. For most, this will be the first time they have voted for a Democrat in their entire lives. And when taken as a whole, they represent a fair cross section of the Republican Party. Some younger, some older. Some fiscally driven, some culturally driven. But almost all, up until now, have been intractable. Yet here we all are, staring down the barrel of a remarkably nasty presidential election, all in a rare moment of agreement. I figured this simply could not be an anomaly. Perhaps this was a groundswell. 

I started asking around and found a number of my liberal friends were having a similar experience. So we asked these folks if they would appear on camera and share with the world why they changed. It seemed to me that the most convincing argument a conservative on the fence could hear might not come from a liberal, or even from Obama himself, but instead, from one of their own; a conservative who had crossed over. So we turned on the camera, and they did the rest.

I fully expected the results to be compelling and convincing. And they are. What I didn't expect was the emotional wallop these unscripted interviews deliver. A combination of deep disillusionment with the last eight years, disappointment in John McCain's candidacy, and an undeniable draw to Obama brought these people to a political decision that was deeply personal and courageous. It became clear to me that these were more than interviews. These were confessions. 

This is what democracy is supposed to be. These people actually listened, considered and were open to the possibility of change. They didn't support a candidate. They actually chose one. And while I'm happy this year they are voting for "my team," they also inspired me to be more open in my own political life. 

I thought we were making an ad campaign about Obama. But I think we ended up making an ad campaign about the essential ingredient that makes democracy work: an open mind. We don't belong to our political parties. Our political parties belong to us.

Presidential Dance Off

Yeah boy! This video is awesome mostly because i suggested last week during the final debate that if it were a "tie" they should have to sword fight or break dance to determine the winner. Evidently I am not alone in this opinion.

I Know It's a Tad Early...

...but I'm feeling Christmasy. And truly, nothing gets me in the Christmas spirit quite like this video.

Potty Training...

These types of videos will never cease to amaze me. I gotta give Alex credit for this one. Please take notice of the real child at the end and how he literally needs something to hold onto while he "goes". Japanese people need to eat more fiber.

Magical Mystery Tour????

I'm posting this horoscope because its unusual, because its kinda true, and because it kinda makes me feel better about life.

October 21, 2008

You may be in a state of high anticipation, for the Sun's supportive sextile to intense Pluto can put your feelings on edge. You have been on a magical mystery tour, but now it's time to settle down and make crucial decisions about your path ahead. but you cannot push the process any faster than it's going, so set your frustrations aside and connect with others while you can.

So Many Things Wrong!

There are so many things wrong with that picture. For the sake of kindness, let's start with the things that are not wrong:

1)Her hair looks nice

2) Her lips are not neon pink

Now then:

1) Why is she so mad???? That frown is un-a-ttractive. 

2) Let's talk about the frown again.....

3) THOSE TA TAS!!!! Seriously, whoever did her boob job should be put down ( as in euthanized. as in killed.). It looks like someone just took two huge rocks and put them under her skin. Here's some free advice Chris Chris- put them AWAY!!!!! Sure, I understand that you just had a baby and you want the world to know that you are still zexy, but every now and again, let your boobies rest. They're tired of being out all the time ( and we're tired of seeing them)

Just sayin!

I'm going to STEAL this baby!
