I dressed up and did the Haunted museum at our local history society. I was disappointed in the way they chose to decorate the museum up with a lot of kitschy ghoul junk. All those beautiful exhibits covered with electronic skeletons, fake bloody hands and Zombie babies. Yuck. And not educational as I'd hoped. I figured someone needed to speak to the cultural aspect, if only to the Gothic side of horror. I did a dead flapper costume. I donned a tattered flapper dress and head scarf. I wore sequined heels. I added a soupcon of white and blue paint to my face and arms for the ethereal effect. I put on a mole and dark red lipstick. For eye makeup, you could go bright metallic or make it look like it's smeared or running (flappers were notorious gin drinkers and cocaine users). You could do blue shadows under the eyes. Paint nails black or metallic. Add a long cigarette holder. Here's how you could do other vintage Gothic costumes.

Diet Tip Wait 10 Minutes Before Eating a Second Helping
I've lost 87 pounds and am writing a series on how I did it. Today's tip is the old "wait 10 minutes" rule. When kids want seconds, I ask them to wait a few minutes to let their food settle to see if they really could eat more. It takes about that long for food to reach the stomach and give the sensation of fullness. If I forgot to remind them, I ended up making food that didn't get eaten.
