Turns out Bed-Stuy counts Election Night as a third day for the dead, so the marigold came with me to Chilo's. The dress barely survived the walk over and the bathroom mirror isn't helping. Tell me what you'd toast to.

Two days for the dead are done, so the altar is coming apart petal by petal. I'm keeping the marigolds on me a little longer, though. Tell me where you'd put the rest of them.

Top commentGreen-Wood is throwing its own Day of the Dead celebration this afternoon and I woke up long before it, so the black lace dress came off the hanger and then mostly off me. The ofrenda candles are doing all the work in here — come keep me company until it's time to go.
The ofrenda is finally finished and the marigolds ended up everywhere, including on me. The dead get their two days and I'm not wasting a minute of mine — come sit with me until the candles burn down.
Halloween ends tonight but the dead get two days, so my kitchen table is turning into an ofrenda and my face is only half a sugar skull so far. Tell me if I should finish the makeup before bed or leave it like this.
Sixth Avenue chewed me up and spat me out somewhere past 14th, and the costume did not make it home in one piece. Neither did I, honestly — tell me you're still awake.
The Vampire Ball at Industry City opens at nine and the fangs went in an hour early. This gown keeps losing arguments with the mirror. Come be my victim tonight.
Halloween-eve costume shopping turned into a fitting room standoff, and the devil costume is winning by a zipper. Be honest — is this the one, or do I keep pulling things off the rack?
There's a candlelit string quartet playing Halloween classics in a Gothic church on Fifth tonight, and I already know Psycho by candlelight is going to get me. The dress is on but apparently only in spirit. Tell me if I'm sitting in a pew like this or behaving for once.
