Jack-o-Lantern face, that is! Growing up, my pumpkin dictator mother decreed that there could only be one expression carved into the side of a ripe Halloween pumpkin – triangle eyes, half-moon mouth, the end! It’s a classic for a reason, to be sure. All the same, she was (jokingly) aghast the year I came along and added two pointy fangs to the half-moon mouth; what the hey was this kid doing messing with tradition anyways?! I attempt to be a glass-half-full kind of person, so I’m going to say I was just respecting tradition. In fact, I respect it so much – well, just take a peek at last year’s tiny Jack-o-Lantern.
Weegie is a non-conformist, and she thinks my later work has grown repetitive. How rude! Also, says the cat in the lobster costume! And yes, that is a 16-year-old torbi dressed as a crustacean, sitting beside a lit Jack-o-Lantern on my diningroom table; what of it? 😉
These happy Jack-o-Lantern nails are for my mom, both the classic, proscribed expression and avec fangs, just to mix things up and drive my mom a teeny bit bonkers. Happy Halloween!
That lobster costume is da bomb! 😀
I loved that one so much! Reminds me that somewhere I have a collage of her in costumes (and our late kitty, who likewise got the big Halloween costume treatment.) One year she was a very adorable shark – the costume looked like it was eating her.
I would love to see that! Nope, no costume plans for her this year bc she’s in bed by 7pm and is too fussy. Next year, for sure, plans are already underway 👻
Speaking of adorable things in wee costumes, any plans for Baby ACD this Halloween?
HOW did you get a costume onto your kitty? Mine won’t comply.
Oh, just your run-of-the mill treat bribery, plus a lot of wailing and lamentation. 😉 Actually, she bears the costuming pretty well; I’ve been doing this to her for 13 years! But also, she’s only ever in her costume for about three and a half minutes before it’s time to TAKE IT OFF, NOW!
I would never be allowed to do that, not even for a few minutes! 😢
Funny how our cats “allow” us to do things!
Yes! It’s one extreme or the other: “I will allow you” or “I will kill you if you try.”
Your nails are gorgeous!! I love the confetti glitter and the smiling Jacks. Hello there kittykins! Such a great sport!
Thank you! And isn’t she a good sport? Begrudging, and she’ll only allow herself to be costumed for about three and a half minutes at a time, but she bears it with some measure of good grace. Such a good girl!
Bahaha, I get a kick out of Weegie’s displeased costume poses, second only to dogs in hats in my book. I haven’t carved a pumpkin this year but I do appreciate a classic jack o’ lantern face, and I bet the fangs were the perfect touch, such a rebel.
Soooo cute!
I have the same glitter topper (China Glaze something) somewhere in my stash, and I’ve been looking for it for weeks – but I couldn’t find it… I’m sure I’ll find it right after Halloween! 😀
Weegie is a cute little thing! Don’t trust her sceptical expression. I’m sure she loves the costume!
