Hallowe'en Day: Costume 1

I said I would be a character from Theatre of Blood earlier, but then I remembered I had this dress:

A few weeks ago I wore it to be Queen Elizabeth I for a college event. Today I broke it out again. I put it on, and I went through all the possibilities of who I would be. I remembered this dress by Grace Kelly:

 Though her dress has sleeves, and isn't as full, I could see this being a dress she might wear. However, my hair was looking darker than normal today, and I thought of Marilyn:

It did feel quite like this in my dress, thought without the off-the-shoulder sleeves.

I decided this was it. I have darker hair, especially today, but I felt as lovely as ever being Marilyn for Hallowe'en. I told some people I was Cinderella, but, really, I was Marilyn. I curled my hair a little bit, put in a bump, and lots of sparkly jewelry (Diamond's are a girl's best friend!).
