It’s that time of the year again. Which is to say, the most amazing time ever. Which is to say, it’s Halloween!

Sadly, I currently live in a land where Halloween is just one more fist-shaking-worthy commercial import from the good old US of A. I daresay I miss Halloween so much even this Babeland goodie bag couldn’t make up for the lack of orange and black happiness. In the grand Halloween spirit, I am reading (or attempting to read) one of the stories from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark with my hooligans. Maybe it’s just ’cause I was a late 80’s, early 90’s child, but those things scared the bejesus out of me when I was little.

Remember, not only is Halloween Irish (and therefore cool), it’s also a liminal time. That means ghosts can escape, and everything gets turned on its head–so cross-dressing and general fetish exploration is totally encouraged! Go forth, wear fishnets. The universe wants you to.
