Steampunk, Victorian and Pirates!

There comes a time in every woman's life, when all she wants to do is put on a dress and pretend to be someone else.

It must be said, that I have these moments more than the average woman.

Halloween is my favorite time of year, hands down. The day where I can wear something that I'm comfortable in, and the residents of Guernsey don't judge, or sneer, or wonder if they should be calling the police because I'm clearly not quite right in the head (because that's how you spot crazy people, apparently).

The aftermath of the meal, mostly consisted of me and my lovely friend Tai, sprinting around St Peter Port to some of the most attractive spots we could find, and snapping pictures of ourselves posing dramatically. In spite of the occasional hiccups of poor light, misbehaving timers, and photobombing men in fluorescent jackets, we had a blast. So much so that we decided that on Sunday, I would dress up in some of my favorite outfits, and we would go take advantage of the lovely Guernsey scenery, and the surprisingly warm weather.

What can I say? Posing is fun!

So in the spirit of sharing, I have cherry picked a few of the better shots from Saturday and Sunday, and compiled them here for your enjoyment. As an aside note (and one doesn't like to boast, but one is going to anyway) but one of my pictures has already been yoinked by my lovely friend Jess, and re-purposed as the cover of her latest novel.

So with that being said, enjoy my latest efforts to be creative!

(what do you mean I'm procrastinating from NaNoWriMo?).
