capitol couture

Our 4 hours of Hunger Games costume prep turned out to be successful. Hannah and I used a full can of teal hair dye, plus a lot of needle and thread for sewing our costumes. Kate and Beth made themselves look like sad, poor children, and Anna perfected the Cinna look with her gold eye liner and slicked back hair. 

We left the house in style. 

Before we could walk into the theater, we already had people asking to take photos with us...and then three more people asked to take photos with us once we were inside. Stares and compliments kept coming our way, but once the movie started, all attention was on the true celebrities of the Hunger Games. 

We loved the movie. Loved it. It was worth the wait and even worth getting split up and sitting alone in the theater (lame). 

Here's a look at some of our shots from the night:

Do you like our costumes? 

Which one should we submit to the District Style Challenge?

Thoughts on the movie? I really want to know. 

[Hunger Games Premiere]

Tonight is the night I have been waiting for since I devoured the Hunger Games books over our honeymoon in July. I remember reading the books and telling Jordan "wouldn't this be such a cool movie?! I hope they make one someday."

Well, I got my wish.

 My group of girlfriends and I purchased our tickets back in February for the 12:04 showing in Muncie, Indiana. This week, The Hunger Games fever is buzzing all over campus, and truth be told, my school work has been on the back burner (considering I had to spend all of my time researching about the film and prepare my costume, of course).

Here is the evening line up:

Hair dying: bright teal and teased
Costumes:
- Hannah Towler and I as capitol citizens
- Kate Rush as Primrose Everdeen
- Anna Kujacznski as Cinna
- Bethany Ezawa as Katniss Everdeen
Makeup: Capital couture and dirty district 12 looks
Photos: submitted to District Style Challenge 
Movie snack run: we need our cheap candies for munching
Early arrival and seating: show off all of our hard work
12:04 premiere: two and a half hours of brutal fighting, love triangle, and beautiful capitol fashion


We are currently at the peak of excitement and anticipation. We only have a few hours to wait before we are watching Katniss on the big screen.

And just in case you were wondering, I am team Gale all the way ;)

Are you are going to the premiere too? If so, don't forget to salute Rue in the theater! And I want to hear what everyone thinks of the film afterward. Have fun and get there early for prime seating! 

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.







Our Halloween Party this year was a success. Jordan and I spent the entire day decorating with streamers and baking pumpkin sugar cookies at Cameron's house, along with hours of preparation for our costumes.

I love Halloween, so I wanted to make the most of it. Jordan wasn't too excited about dressing up, but I think he was glad that I dragged him to Goodwill and Wal-Mart because we got so many compliments on our Jack and Jill getup. Plus he really liked the red suspenders.


We had some of the most creative costumes at our party...










Sexy Lumberjacks



DRYER!





and Hugh Hefner... ewwww.





Most of all, I was glad that I didn't have to see desperate and idiotic girls dress like sluts and think that they look attractive. Because we all know that it's not. It's actually repulsive.





Now that Halloween is over, I will have to start my Christmas shopping!
