Halloween Blog Hop
So I’m back
from Limbo for a very special reason: SMP is doing a Halloween blog hop and
it’s just too much fun to say no to. And what’s in it for you? Free books, jewellery
and cool stuff.
That’s right, leave a comment and you’ll be automatically
running for a tremendous giveaway and the final draw will take place at SMP http://stillmomentspub.blogspot.com/2012/10/halloween-blog-hop.html on October 26th!
Now for
my part on this deal: A piece on Halloween (which is actually a true life
story)
When I was
invited to Joana’s Halloween party, I was psyched. Back in Brasil we don’t have
Halloween per say (it’s not really part of our culture), but we do have some
great Halloween parties imported from the US of A.
Problem
was, which costume should I choose?
Now, I’ve
always loved Batman, from age six to right now. Other girls liked My Little
Ponies and Barbies while I dreamed of defending Gotham
city from the scum that infested it.
“What about
poison ivy?” Mom asked. “You could go as poison ivy.”
I shook my
head, arms crossed.
“Ok, I
know; Batgirl. She is so pretty, sweetheart.”
Head shake
again.
“How about
Catwoman? She’s powerful and strong.”
“Moooom!” I
whined.
Mom
breathed out in exasperation. “Fine.”
When
Joana’s mom answered the door bell on that Halloween night, she came across a
figure. A symbol. A myth.
“Oh, and
what are you supposed to be, dear?” She asked, bending over her knees.
I spread my
batwings wide and said in a low voice, “Lady, I’m your worst nightmare.”
