danse macabre.

ever since i've known the the tradition of halloween, i always wanted to disguise and walk around at night and celebrate. the fact that this day also happens to be my birthday makes it even more special. but this tradition only slowly slopped over to german realms, so halloween parties and costumes over here were always kind of lame to me and no one out of my circle of friends ever really felt the same fascination to join and celebrate. but! this year i found my halloween soulmate and right now i am already making plans for a costume. first i thought about dressing as a certain well known character, but i couldn't decide out of too many options, so i made some researches on the web and stumbled upon the term DIA DE LOS MUERTOS. i really love everything about the style and its possible to be a lot more creative and adjustable than with having chosen a certain character. so DIA DE LOS MUERTOS basically is a mexican tradition, celebrated from 31st of october to 2nd of november, similar to the halloween tradition and it looks like this:

so there is about one month time to plan and i already got some ideas. if everything works out as i imagine it, it's going to be awesome!
