Fall, pumpkin lattes, & zombies

    It has been a few weeks since my last post and I've been extremely busy. October is of course one of my favorite months, after all it is every goths time to shine. I have been working on a hair show with the Toni & Guy Academy here in Atlanta. Avant Garde hair is my favorite thing to create so I have been heading up a segment in the hair show called "Freak Show". Being super busy with all of the planning and meetings and working with the entire team for this show has been exhausting and quite time consuming but quite enjoyable. This month has flown by and the show is on the 23rd. Hopefully I can take some down time and blog a little more frequently. I will of course post pix of my models after the show. Here is a pic from a previous avant garde mannequin contest I participated in.

New and improved creepy Jack

     During this busy time I have been able to enjoy a few things worth mentioning. I am indulging repeatedly in pumpkin lattes from wherever I can find them. Starbucks makes an awesome one and happens to be the place that I frequent most. I am currently reading a book entitled "The Book Of Lost Things" by John Connolly. It's a little slow, but I am getting into it as I am able to read a little more in depth and uninterrupted. I have always wanted to read this book and just never made the purchase. The cover of the book is what attracted me. Those of you who know it will understand. I have managed to decorate a bit for the holiday. So far my mantle is complete and I have refurbed my fave jack o' lantern. He is a latex cutie who has been through the ringer. In fact I had to glue him back together last year. He has been a Halloween staple for the last five years or so. The other night after coming home for working on the hair show I was so inspired I took out my  paint and creepified old Jack. He has this look that is difficult to describe. I can't decide if he is smiling or is in the middle of a devilish laugh but he now is all the more happy with a little black and gold paint. I am posting his pic so that you may enjoy his evil charm as well. Last, but certainly not least is tonight's season premiere of The Walking Dead series on AMC. Zombies have hit Atlanta Georgia and this show is completely captivating. I have watched this series from the beginning of season one last year. If you haven't seen it you definitely need to tune in tonight!
