For Halloween I went as my favorite (undead) Sheriff: Gus Gilbert from ‘Pet Sematary 2′. Those who know, know. ;)

Long story short: Went as a character who has scared me since I first caught the movie on cable TV one Saturday afternoon when I was kid. Spent entirely too much time on the details, going so far as to paint shoulder patches that resembled his -- “KC” = “Kennebago County” because there was no way in Hell I was gonna try painting all of those letters on a tiny piece of canvas. I couldn’t find a Sheriff uniform shirt (well, I did, actually but -- I’ll get to that in a minute) so I had to buy a khaki(ish) buttondown from Walmart, paint the breast pockets dark brown, and add my own brown ribbon to the shoulders. Nothing to it (LOLOLOL)! K. Painstakingly paint a shirt? Check. Paint some canvas patches on a drunken Friday night before the party? Check. Spend entirely too much on hat, sheriff badges, undershirt, fake blood, fake drill, etc.? CHECK!  Every detail, I had them all down. Nothing got by me... Except... One major one did: Gus’ neck wound was on his left side. It’s hard to tell from the pics, but I put my “wound” on my right side (same side my nose is pierced). F*&@!  Oh well. I had fun anyway! And Clancy, babe, if you can see this: It was all for you. <3
