Halloween Hijikes

We started out at 6th Avenue and 19th Street to view the Halloween Parade, then headed downtown to Happy Ending, stopping for hot dogs from a vendor on the way.

I ended up being a Vivian Girl from Henry Darger's In the Realms of the Unreal

Thanks, friends, for a fantastic time last night!

Happy Halloween!

I found this great shop on etsy that sells handmade leather masks. They'd be great for Halloween this year.
