Lady Hawke to the rescue!

Clothes make a statement. Costumes tell a story.

 - Mason Cooley

Although Halloween was a week ago because of exams, 

my friends and I had a delayed halloween/guy fawkes party recently. 

I orginally had ideas of a zombie or vampire, 

but when I got to the store that I was creating my costume from 

I decided to go in a different direction.

So I went home and got sewing and ended up with a ridiculously shiny but fun outfit to wear...

I sort of made a Kick Ass/Hit Girl inspired super hero of my own

 with holsters, impractical high heels, capes and all.

The name Lady Hawke came out of a joke:

 - my old hair cut made people call me 

the brunette lady hawke (NZ musician)

- there's already a hawk girl

- my sister wanted me to have an L on my costume 

And of course a wig and mask to hide my secret identity, shhh...

And I've gotta say though, I really loved the pink hair,

For makeup I layered a metallic shadow over strategically place white eyeliner,

and then an extreme liquid liner cat eye for some added drama

The night was a lot of fun, 

And with a great view across the city we managed to see 

a whole lot of fireworks for ideal student price (free ;P)

Did you do anything fun for Guy Fawkes or Halloween?
