I don't think Hallowe'en is any different-- we wear costumes everyday

Best wishes for this festive time of year.


Happy Hallowe'en videoclip brought to you by Chloe Sevigny.



Although it remains to be seen how one could best Birthdees.




Here is an exquisite Fall centerpiece displaying the only purpose for candy corn.


One thing I like about boxing is that I will not have to deal with the same kind of politics that I had to in skating. In boxing, it is not about your appearance, or how your costume looks, what color it is, or how much it costs.

You can understand and relate to most people better if you look at them - no matter how old or impressive they may be - as if they are children. For most of us never really grow up or mature all that much - we simply grow taller. O, to be sure, we laugh less and play less and wear uncomfortable disguises like adults, but beneath the costume is the child we always are, whose needs are simple, whose daily life is still best described by fairy tales.

I don't know "get" Glee so swing low sweet chariot



Forget you, Glee. Roller Boogie it is.


Things just get better in this reel so stick in there. One point though: swine flue is NOT a lie. I got it last Halloween. It was/is v. v. real. I did not like. More livestock than humans on this fine world, living amongst their own muck, so H1N1 should not be surprising in the least. 

Tangent over. I would like to own Mathieu...'s skates.

You still looking!?!

Guess this means we're soul mates.

I don't know about halloween- how about fancy dress all year?

What will everyone don for this year's for All Hallows' Eve? Popular pieces of late include: inanimate objects, sharp political satire suits (Recession Zombie, etc.), anything Antoine Dodson, and always with the animals represented by appropriately coloured felt ears.

Well, this little boy is dressing up each and everyday just as he so wishes, wearing it with confidence:

Love Princess Boy. You wear those socks right, honey. And amen to breaking out of the confines of gender normative apparel. After all, what is human apparel but a series of giant body socks and disparately coloured coverings?

To be completely fair though, fairy skirts are entirely cumbersome and not so conducive to outdoor play. But you know what they say- a chacun son gout.
