Halloween Throwback Thursday – Lex Dressed UP

Time for Throwback Thursday again.

For those of you who don’t know Throwback Thursday is an Instagram meme inviting people to share photos of themselves from another time (at least 5 years ago.)  You can check out what people share using the hashtags #TBT or #ThrowbackThursday.  It’s a fun way to share some history and giggle at those terrible family photos.

This article on DigitalTrends.com is my favourite and explains the roots of Throwback Thursday, and how to throwback like a pro.

Today is Halloween, however I don’t think there are any photos of me in Halloween costumes.  The best I can do to stay on theme with the time time is photo of me “dressed up”

DressedUp

This is from my uncle’s wedding in the 70s, and there I am as the flower girl in the family photo.  I’m looking less comfortable in this dress (and shoes) than I ever did in my pumpkin, gypsy or sprite costumes.

Happy #tbt Halloween everyone. May the Great Pumpkin smile upon you.

    @Robert P Cotterill Well, my patch is a little downtown Toronto patchy, but the spirit is willing!

    @Andrea Ross I’m especially fond of how I look like I want those shoes OFF!

    I think it’s about time to bust out those gypsy and sprite costumes again!

    grrrr Hummm, I don’t think you’d be happy with my sprite costume it was very makeup heavy to make me look less human.  My entire face was covered in white grease paint with blue sparkles as contouring matching my leggings.  But if you can find me sparkly antenna again, I’ll certainly do pudgy sprite for next year.
