Sometimes It's Okay To Be Someone You're Not

Every summer in Toronto (and many other places around the world) there is this giant parade called Caribana/Carnival.  I've secretly always wanted to play Mas and dress up in the parade, but I've never had the chance.

This year for Halloween I decided to be a "Caribana Princess."  This was my way of finally getting that moment-- without having to fly home to Toronto in August for the actual parade.

I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a costume, so I bought supplies from Michaels and made one myself.  It was more challenging than I originally expected, but it worked out rather nicely.  On Halloween night, I ended up going to a friend from law school's house party.  I didn't take too many photos because I was too busy "living in the moment" as my sister Vanessa would put it.  These are a few shots that I did get that night. 

How was your Halloween? Did you dress up?  Where did you go?
