Mila Monster
When it comes to Halloween, I figure I get one shot. I get exactly one chance to pick out the most perfect costume for a kid. Once that second Halloween rolls around, kids have opinions and stuff.
When Alexis was tiny, that one shot was spent on a Screamapillar costume.
It. Was. Perfect.
The little girl who loved to scream was absolutely the human version of the Screamapillar from The Simpsons. Adorable but screamy and particularily nightmarish after the sun went down.
Then came Mila. I spent weeks pondering my one shot, but then learned something vital -- Alexis wanted to do something matchy matchy with her sister, and she was picking the theme.
So much for my one shot.
While I do looooooooove what Alexis settled on for herself and Mila, I kinda wanted to have a say. Just once, even if only for a single photo.
OK, I'm stalling.
It's just ... these photos. MAN.
For the record, I couldn't have figured out a more fitting costume for Mila if I had spent months thinking about it. She is Mila Monster, through and through.
Yep.
Still stalling.
OK ...
(Yes, I made the hat.)
(The dress is from Ruum. It was a total coincidence that it matches. In other words, IT WAS MEANT TO BE.)
This time I mean it. Here's Mila Monster.
I KNOW, RIGHT?
