a rock 'n' roll halloween

so... long time no post. it's not that i haven't had anything to tell y'all. there's tons of stuff going on - it's just getting the time to write it down and post! so here's a quick 'n' easy one to get me going. expect lots more in the next coupla days (hopefully).

the wondrous holiday of halloween is fast approaching. though it's not a big holiday in the uk, apparently it's huuuge over here, so i've spent the past dozen years playing catchup with the making of hella fun outfits and the overeating of sweets. i've been on a judy garland/liza minnelli kick for the past couple of halloweens (dorothy and cabaret) but while trying to prove to my of-little-faith hubby that queen is the best band in the world ever on a road trip to savannah this past weekend (i was my turn driving, it was my turn playing the music) a light dawned on me. ever since i was 11 or so (maybe younger) i'd always "quipped" (i use the term lightly, as this was pretty hilarious to pre-teen leila) that freddie mercury and i had three things in common:

1) we're both of persian descent
2) we both have a love of music
3) we both have a love of boys

ha! right? am i right?! ok, not exactly seinfeld, but pretty funny for an 11-year-old.

anyway, ready freddie's outfits have always been brilliantly rock 'n' roll, saucy and over the top. so, this is what i'm thinking of going with for halloween 2008.

naturally you gotta vision these outfits as tailored towards a lady (ie no chest area exposed and said chest is not hairy) but which of the three should i go with (last two are the same, one with the accompanying jacket)? i'm hoping to grab a unitard from american apparel and make it my own jumpsuit of awesomeness!
