Halloween.

 For our costumes this year we were Mystique and Azazel.

For those of you that don't know, they are X-men characters and Nightcrawlers parents.

 Mystique's is sometimes called Raven, so I had a raven shirt.

 Overall we only bought the makeup and stuff for our hair. 

So I'm pretty proud of how inexpensive it was.

 A little overview of a couple highlights from my October.

 I entered two photographs into an art show.

 Then we celebrated my non-victory by going out to dinner.

 We got to spend some time with this cute little guy but haven't seen him since. 

I hope he found his home.

 It started getting chillier.

I was looking forward to these all year long. :D

Suffragettes c.1918

  I can't believe this picture is so relevant today. I think we are going in the right direction and things do take time to improve. They won't improve if we don't recognize they exist. So I just wanted to share some little victories with you. Things that are definitely making me happy today!

• Mazie Hirono (bottom left) from Hawaii becomes the first Asian-American woman (born in Japan) in the U.S. Senate. [x]
• Tammy Duckworth (top) from Illinois becomes the first disabled woman to be elected as Congresswomen. Also, she is half-Thai. [x]
• That means the rape apologist Joe Walsh has been kicked off. [x]
• Todd Akin who’s been quoted saying; “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down” has also been outed from his seat. [x]
• As has the disgusting Richard Murdock who thinks “Rape is a gift from God”. Booted off. [x]
• Colorado has become the first state to legalize the recreational use and sale of marijuana. [x] And it’s predicted it will pass in Washington. [x]
• Maine and Maryland have voted for marriage equality, and Minnesota has voted for NOT passing a ban on marriage equality for same-sex couples. Washington almost has their referendum for marriage equality passed.
• Tammy Baldwin (bottom center) in Wisconsin becomes the first openly gay Senator to be elected. [x]
• Mary Gonzalez (bottom right) of Texas is the first openly pansexual senator Representative! [x] (Apologies for that slip-up) (source)

 This months calender picture is my favorite.

 Jack-o-lantern nails.

Hope all is spooky.

Pink Pumpkins.

Painting the Pumpkins Pink
Still beautiful even if it's covered in imperfections.
Scarred to perfection. Covering the natural state with paint.
Turning it into what it was meant to be.
Decorating the surface to make it more beautiful.
I change things to please me even more.
With every change brings things closer to perfect in my eyes.
What can be wrong with that?
What can be wrong with doing what I find beautiful?
What can be wrong with doing what brings me happiness and peace?
Why would I strive for someone else's idea of perfection?
Pink warpaint to face the world.

If it's all you want, who could crush that?

My dreams can come true.

It's already perfect.

This one looks a little sad to me.
