Halloween (rant)

wow i greatly dislike people.  Seriously Halloween is not the day when one gets to dress as a mega hoe.  I get that you're going for the whole scary factor...believe me,  i'm very frightened, but is it really worth it showing off the complete bottom half of you're butt and about nine inches down into you're cleavage and ending up with a cold because oh hum its freakin' 40 degrees out?!  Halloween is not about looking "sexy" (i use this term very loosely as none of the people attempting this look seem to be achieving it.)  This is very depressing to me.

i am all for guising on Halloween and having a good. but sometimes i do feel that some of the traditions of Halloween have been left behind.  Today's society has changed what the typical costume is assumed to be.  Traditionally, monsters, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils were the costumes of choice.  These costumes later varied into generic archetypes such as ninjas and princesses as well as celebrities and fictional characters from movies and books.  Now, we have "sexy" devils, witches, police officers, fire women, nurses, ninjas etc.
what ever happened to a plain devil costume? or a plain witch costume?  walking down the aisles in Walmart to find a costume now becomes a tedious work because every costume is made with about 2 yards of fabric.


maybe its just me but i prefer traditional costumes over the cheesy, or slutty costumes of today.  I prefer the accurate portrayals over the stereotypical messes that now plague the stores shelves.

Senior Photos :)

Today we decided to get my senior pictures done.  our first stop was Stronghold castle which i thought was a great location. :) had two different outfits, these were a little more dramatic.

The next place we went was a wildlife preserve out in the country.  where these pictures were produced....
these ones are more casual, with only one outfit.

in total there were over 400 pictures taken! it was quite surprising.  but i feel we got some really nice shots out of it.  now i need to go through and actually take the time to edit all of these bad boys. it might take some time...
so this is the end of my fall session...i have another one coming up in winter ;) those should be equally fun.
Note to self: learn how to model and stop being so awkward lol

Parade day!

Today was Autumn on Parade here in Oregon! the entire town goes all out with booths, food and entertainment.
i love this time of year. the smell of fall and all the different foods in the air is by itself beautiful, but adding the cool climate and changing leaves is just the cherry on top. (although i hate that cliched analogy) this does not include the pleasure of having our family here to hang out :) (which improves this event even further)
i really wish Oregon had a designated section somewhere in town where we could have booths up all year!  that would be so awesome, it would give us something fun to do as well as maybe make this town a little more worldly.
i just thought i would make a note of this occurence. :)

anyone else have this sort of thing in your town?
