For Halloween this year, L decided to dress as her favorite musician. That happened to be our friend Courtney, who plays guitar in a band called EXIT. The costume was super easy to make and comfy to boot. I even used a sharpie to draw a tattoo on her ankle to match the one Courtney has. For her candy bag, I ironed an image of a Marshall amp onto a black tote bag.

AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR BONUS BIRTHDAY PARTY PICTURES!
L's 8th birthday party theme was ROCK MUSIC. We baked a "record" cake. We asked guests to dress as their favorite musicians and we sent backstage passes with their invitations. They had to get past the bouncer to get in the door.
I dressed as 80's singer Alison Moyet.
And L dressed as her second
favorite musician at the time, Freddie Mercury. Fun Fact: You remember
Courtney from the top of this post? When she was 11, she dressed as
Freddie Mercury for Halloween. (Edited to add: a photo of Courtney dressed as Freddie at age 11)
MINDFREAK!
