1) Costumes in England are scarier. This is not the place to dress a like a Disney Princess unless you go as "zombie Cinderella," and my Audrey Hepburn custome of years past would only be acceptable if I added vampire fangs and fake blood. My plan was to dress as an M&M until I learned this. (A zombie M&M?)
2) People here wear more clothes. As per the Mean Girl's (movie) quote, "Halloween is an excuse to wear lingerie and some sort of amimal ears." That is definitely true in "college life Halloween" in the United States, but thanks to the fact that temperatures were in the 50s last night, college girls (for the most part) kept their witch capes and trousers on.
I went to the apartment of a classmate who hosted a Halloween gathering for a lot of the government department graduate students.
And I went as...drum roll please...Katniss!
Katniss Everdeen is the main character of author Suzanne Collin's Hunger Games trilogy. The first two are movies now, but I digress. The good news is that the bow is fully functional, and the arrows did stick on the window with relative ease.
Happy November!
