The stake had a Halloween Trick-or-Treat Dance Party at the East Side Chapel this year. I originally wasn't going to go, as I'm not a fan of big crowds of people I don't know, but was talked into it by a few people. I knew I'd be coming straight from the Crew and wouldn't have time for an elaborate costume (not that I would've anyway). My first thought was to get some fairy wings (I had borrowed them from my friend Mary when I wore them two years ago) and reuse my wand and the hair glitter I still had from my previous fairy incarnation. So I went to KMart and Target the day before and looked for fairy wings....to no avail. After working at Wal-mart you think I'd have learned that you never find what you need the day before a big holiday except the lame things nobody wants. This is why I wasn't that surprised to not find anything.
So I decided to go with my backup, something that would be completely simple and require practically no effort: I would go as Pam from "The Office." I had the skirt, the cardigan and the button up shirt. It was almost too perfect. After work all I had to do was change into my striped, pink button-up shirt from my plain white one and don my favorite pink cardigan I even put curlers in my hair to make it look like Pam's (although mine is much shorter than hers and so I looked more like a poodle than Pam). This is the final result:

Since it's no fun to go to a dance by yourself, I met up with Stefanie and Elin at their apartment and went with them. They had much more elaborate costumes; Stefanie was a Toy Solider, complete with a gun fashioned from an umbrella, and Elin was Self-Absorbed, in a dress dotted with sponges and a wicked wig, and subsequently got the most smiles and "How clever," responses when asked what her costume was.

We were the only people in the Subway car and proceeded to have some fun...
People didn't really ask me what my costume was, probably assuming I was just coming from work and was not in costume. I feel it could've been elevated with flesh-colored nylons, which Pam wears, but in my rush to be on time to work I left them sitting on my bed. So I made due with my blue tights and pink converse, as I don't have white keds. But what I really needed was a Jim to make my ensemble complete.

Sadly, there were no Jim's there; only a Dwight in a Cornell sweatshirt. The dance was fun though, despite some bad deejaying, and I danced the night away in that hot gym.
