Happy Halloween!

I hope that everyone had suitably disturbing weekend. :)

I attended a Halloween party in a bar in Jinju in order to celebrate the hard work of all the ghosts out there that are busy haunting the f**k out of all their friends at this time of year. I met up with a group of friends beforehand to eat some pre-party chicken at a nearby restaurant. Not an easy feat when your party consists of two women dressed up as bunches of grapes and accessorised with green and purple balloons respectively, a mummy who is wrapped head to toe in a shredded white curtain, an anthropomorphic fox and a crazed Jack Nicholson. The waiter was not pleased about having to seat us… I myself wore a finely feathered silver mask that I had purchased at the mask festival a few weeks back paired up with a sequined number that I had bought at the local thrift store.  I was originally going for an Ice Queen look but I think I just ended up looking like a big gay bird…

The party itself was most good. There were sparklers to be waved, a fire show to be watched, cheesy songs to be danced to and, of course, the obligatory zombie attack to be endured. I was a tad alarmed by the penchant of Korean women for dressing up as pre-pubescent school girls or pantless geishas. However, as we learned from Mean Girls; ‘Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.’ :)
