All Hallows Eve Approaches

Okay. I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to Halloween. I love it. I love everything about it. I love the sensual phantasmagorical playfulness of it. I love Pop Culture Halloween and I love Goth Halloween and I love old rituals around Halloween that have to do with scaring evil spirits away, and paying attention to otherworlds and the undead. All of it. I love The Great Pumpkin, and making origami bats and pinning them to my bulletin board.

So what’s happening this year? I’ve already mentioned the Erotic Museums Kinky Horror Picture Show party. I know the Bondage Ball will be big this year. I was invited to attend the giant Halloween bash in Las Vegas, the Fetish and Fantasy Halloween Ball, http://www.halloweenball.com/. Of course, the same Ball in New Orleans was cancelled. Sniff. There’s Kinky’s Crusade in Seattle, that looks intriguing.

Sensuous Sadie has some hilarious photos of Barbie in spooky bondage.

Of course, JT’s Stockroom has some unforgettable masks for the occasion. Hollywood Toy and Costume rules Los Angeles. And MAC has some amazing make-up colors to dazzle and delight. I laughed out loud at a costume set for couples a co-worker showed me of a plug and socket costume from Party America.
