For Halloween this year, my nephew stole my idea.

I had a dream where I dressed him up as Lightning McQueen and myself as Mater from Pixar's Cars films.

The little stinker decided to be Mater himself.

Well, shucks.

So I asked him what I should wear to go trick or treating with him. It's his birthday on the 31st, so Birthday Kid gets to dictate Aunt Kukla's costume.

"Lightning! I want you to be Lightning McQueen, Aunt Kukla!!"

Kid, you have far too much faith in my abilities. I *am* an international award winning costumer who can create anything out of nothing, but I can't crap out a whole-ass car costume in the next three days when I'm booked solid.

So I opened negotiations.

"How about a witch? A kitty cat? A skeleton? A doggie?"

No, no, and no. Silly Aunt Kukla.

*sigh*

He loves Frozen. "I could be Anna, or Elsa?"

He brightened up. "You be Anna!"

"Or Sven?" I kind of want to be Sven. I like reindeer...

"NO! You be Anna. Mumma can be Sven."

Meanwhile I'm realizing that an Anna costume means a new wig or dying my hair again. I also have literally *none of those pieces in my wardrobe.

Wait. He LOVES Encanto.

"Or I could be Mirabel?"

He was tolerant of that idea. Here's the thing; I wear peasant blouses and tiered skirts a lot. My hind brain spent the last day shuffling through my wardrobe.

So on the way home I stopped at a wig store. I was able to treat myself to a brand new lace-front wig for less than a commercially produced adult costume.

So. What do you think?

This is without make up, shoes or correct foundation garments. I do have a leather pouch I can add, too.

The colors aren't perfect but close enough, I think. I can embroider some butterflies on the blouse (and I will like it a lot more when I do.)

I do still intend to make a screen accurate blouse. I've already digitized the black-work scallop pattern. I'm combing Zenni for a pair of round glasses, which I'm going to have to paint to get the right color. But for Halloween?

I'm waiting on a miracle.

Halloween specials related to the classic Disney universe

This applies mainly to the world of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and their friends and acquaintances. For the most part, I'm going to pay a little attention to classic shorts and episodes from various series related to the classic Disney universe, with Halloween specials. To be honest, I'm not a fan of that holiday, I prefer Christmas and Easter rather than Halloween, but again I can't help but avoid cartoons about that holiday, which really has great specials, not to say too much. Since I can't process all of these specials, and I don't have the time to do so, and I'll talk about Halloween for the second time about the series I like to watch. I apologize for this and let's get started: 1.Trick or Treat This is Donald's brief shown in 1952. It portrays Huey, Dewey and Louie trying to get candy from their uncle, but Donald unfortunately cheated on them, and they try to use the witch Hazel to cheat on Donald (Donald cheated and the witch now takes revenge). I think most of them know this and I won't talk about it (that's why there aren't many pictures related to it, since there are already pictures) so much, just to say I liked this short.

2.Ducky Horror Picture Show It's an episode from the original Ducktales, 1987 version, related to Halloween where the monsters partly help Scrooge around the house on his harbor, but then they take over his house and make a mess. Somehow, Scrooge and Huey, Dewey and Louie manage to calm the monsters, and Scrooge made a deal with a werewolf and a vampire around the business, and they made a fairground with Money Bean, where King Kong (the giant gorilla) was.

3.Hot Spells Episode from Darkwing Duck. In this episode, Darkwing Duck and Gosalyn help Morgana with her new presentation regarding her new magical powers, but Morgana unfortunately fails. Morgana's father and her nanny also come to her presentation. Here is a further description extracted from the Disney Wiki:Darkwing and Gosalyn go with Morgana to her old magic alma mater, where Morgana is to present her paper on a profound magical breakthrough. While there, Gosalyn is allowed to participate in some classes because of her natural affinity for the unnatural; but quickly finds the underpinnings of magic, complex mathamatics, too boring for her tastes. Bored because getting used car salesmen and politicians aren't a challenge. Bielzebub finds out about Darkwing and Gosalyn being at the school, and decides this is his chance to move up in the rankings of top villain-by getting Darkwing once and for all! Gosalyn tries to find a short cut to learning magic without the hard math involved, but is hoodwinked into using forbidden spells when Beelzebub disguises himself as the school janitor. By using the forbidden spells she allows of Beelzebub to steal Darkwing's soul. Can Gosalyn and Morgana find some way into tricking him into letting Darkwing go?” Overall, Morgana and Gosalyn save the Darkwing Duck, the so-called devils are defeated, and Gosalyn has learned the lesson of not dealing with magic, as well as negotiating with the unknown, especially if the devils are involved, because once a pact with the devil means a lifelong accident, and is a message do not negotiate with the devil. In the end, Gosalyn received the sentence that she could not buy new comics for a while.

4.Hallow-Weenies

The episode from Goof Troop also seems very funny to me. Here's a description from the Disney Wiki, and the pictures explain it enough:”Max, P.J., and Pistol get off of a haunted house ride at a Halloween carnival. Pistol wants to stay and ride one more but her brother reminds her that they don't want to be late for trick-or-treating.The kids stop at Pete's new property, an old, scary-looking mansion, which he wants to turn into a new hotel. Two contractors jump out the window of the attic, frightened and telling stories of ghosts in the house. Pete angrily dismisses them and scares them off. Max and P.J. decide they want to come back at night to go inside.Later that night in front of the mansion, Max convinces a nervous P.J. to go in. As they approach the front door, the door swings open and a floor board knocks them inside. They move slowly up the stairs. When the boys make it to the attic, they look into a mirror and see a ghost floating behind them. They proceed to jump out of the building and run scared all the way home.When the boys get home, they tell Goofy, Pete, and Pistol about the ghost they saw at the mansion. Pete says that ghosts aren't real, but Goofy tells him he is mistaken. Goofy shows them a pocket watch he says was awarded to his great-great-grandfather Gooferamus T. Goofy for catching ghosts.Pete takes Goofy and the boys to the hotel to prove there aren't any ghosts there. Max and P.J. stay outside while the adults go into the mansion. They suddenly encounter three ghosts, who prank and torment them. The boys hear all the commotion from outside and run in to protect their fathers. When the boys run away to get help, it's shown that the three ghosts are physically unable to leave the mansion boundary.Max and P.J. accidentally summon the ghost of Gooferamus T. Goofy. Max tells him they need his help to catch the ghosts in the the mansion and save their fathers, but Gooferamus just says a few words and climbs back into the watch, to the boys confusion. They take his random advice and use it to try and catch the ghosts, first by soaking them in honey. Max manages to catch two on a wet mop and P.J. wrings them into separate jars.The two ghosts escape their jars and they all run from Max and P.J., who have a ghost vacuum. They trap the ghosts in bubbles and Pete tries to make them leave. The ghosts explain to them that they would love to leave, but have unfinished business and that's the reason they've been trapped in the mansion since 1929. They are musicians and never got to play their gig, due to a "load of Halloween corn fermenting and blowing up the place". They just need to be invited by Pete."Fingers McFee and his Ragtime Band" perform for the whole gang, including Peg and Pistol, while at the same time pranking Pete. After the show, a ghost bus lands in front of the mansion to pick up the trio. The ghosts thank the boys for helping them move on by giving them slide whistles to make them "honorary rascals".The next day the boys high-five about having the best Halloween ever. A car drives by, asking Pete if they are at the hotel with the ghosts. Pete yells at them, telling them there aren't any ghosts here. When they say they don't want to stay here and then drive away, Pete changes his mind and chases after them.”

5. The Boy Who Cried Ghost

The episode from the Quack Pack is also funny and interesting in my opinion. It's Dewey who likes to make jokes that scares his brothers and his uncle, but for one joke, they are stopped in a dark forest and then forced to go to a terrible castle. Dewey continues to tease his brothers Huey and Louie and his uncle Donald, which gives his brothers and his uncle nerves. Dewey however meets the ghost Sigismund and gets scared and goes outside. However, he is brought back to the castle, his conscience or his guardian angel, and Dewey decides to help his brothers as well as his uncle rescue them from the monster, namely the vampire, the ghost, the werewolf, and the Frankenstein Viking woman. They scare them, but the monsters themselves are scared of one thing, and they are cute animals and then Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck dress up as cute animals (costumes) and manage to scare the monsters out of the castle.

6.House of Villains I can also freely say the best episode of House of Mouse, I recommend that they definitely look at this episode, where the Disney villains abduct from Mickey Mouse, his House of Mouse. I think most know about this episode and I don't need to discuss it.

There's so much about my favorites (but they're not the only ones yet, but they're out of the classic Disney universe, but about it a second time) with Halloween specials. Which special do you particularly like and some comments about it.

Oh the Horror, or Die Pumpkin Spice and slutty costumes

There’s a slight dip in temperature here in the south. Leaves are turning brown, because let’s face it foliage around here is either green or dead, and that dreaded pumpkin spice is every-fucking-where from coffee to corn flakes. Technically we are just under two weeks from the first day of fall, but let’s call it fall anyway. For those of us not enamored with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and dead leaves, this change in the seasons means two things. Football and Halloween. The Alabama Crimson Tide are sitting at 2-0 heading into Oxford, Mississippi to play my wife’s alma mater (also 2-0) The University of Mississippi Campus is wrapped up in Bama Hate Week. There were chants during a victory versus Southern. Illinois University (to whom they gave up 40-plus points), and posts over all social media networks of “We want Bama,” but that suspect defense tells me one thing. You Rebs, Bears, sharks, whatevers really don’t WANT BAMA. Saban and his staff and installed a much more pass-happy offense than what the Tide have run in years past, and still play defense well enough they could have beaten several NFL teams this week. I’ll say it now. This game won’t be close. There will be no tearing down the goal posts. The grove will go silent, and you will go home with your first loss feeling much more mortal than you have after the past two games. As for the NFL, I hope the Falcons don’t play the Eagles again. They seem to be inside Julio Jones’ head, and this is coming from a Falcons fan. I am left wondering where this new high-octane offense the announcers were touting during pregame shows and the Thursday night game. Calvin Ridley had zero catches, Dovanta Freeman was barely on the field, and the team looked worse than when Bobby Petrino was the head coach. I wasn’t a fan of Steve Sarkisian when he ran the Tide Offense during the National Championship game two years ago, and I’m certainly not now. OK. I promise thats all my sports talk. Let’s take a trip down the Halloween Aisle at your local big box store, buy a shitload of candy we’ll eat before the first trick or treater rings the door bell and dive right into what Halloween is for most of us as adults- horror movies. (Those that don’t use it as an opportunity to let their inner slut come out for a night of drunk partying anyway.) During the month of October, on The Heavyweight Chumps Podcast (available on iTunes, GooglePlay, Stitcher and SoundCloud) we will welcome back some of our favorite guests during out regular Thursday episodes to discuss different franchises each week with a bonus episode looking at the place of comedic-horror in the genre. One our list are Wrong Turn, Critters, A Nightmare of Elm Street, and The Purge. Don’t freak out that Nightmare is the only highly regarded franchise on the list. We have a past episode deep diving Friday the 13th in our archives, and Halloween was intentionally left off because of the new film opening October 19. We are looking forward to that film as much or more than many of you and do not wish to risk spoiling it, even accidentally. As for the franchises that did make the list, they were chosen by the guests as films they wanted to discuss. It doesn’t hurt that some of those cheesy Critters and Wrong Turn sequels are just plain fun. Be sure to follow us www.facebook.com/heavyweightchumps, or on Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr @madfatloud for guest updates and poll questions. We also want to take a moment to thank Chef Steph Cook of Rawk n Grub in Memphis, Tennessee for his recent hospitality and the creation of the Fat Bottom Chump burger in our honor and Betsy Butler of Bits n Bites with Bets on YouTube for The Fat Ass Cookie she created for the event. You guys go check them out and tell ‘em The Heavyweight Chumps Sent YA. I’m going to train now so I can maintain my girlish figure by doing 12 oz curls. Until next time, eat, drink and listen to THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHUMPS PODCAST.

9 Reasons to Visit Disneyland at Halloween

New Post has been published on https://www.dailynynews.com/2018/9-reasons-visit-disneyland-halloween/

9 Reasons to Visit Disneyland at Halloween

01of 10

A Guide to Disneyland at Halloween

•••

Disneyland starts celebrating the holidays at Halloween, with lots of unique decorations and activities for Disney’s HalloweenTime. What was already a fun time to go is now even busier, but our tips for planning ahead will help you make the most of it. Not to be left out, the bakeries and eateries may also feature seasonal goodies.

If you plan to visit Disneyland during the Halloween season, check their calendar ahead of time to be sure you know what the hours are. On days when Mickey’s Halloween Party is held, the park closes earlier than normal (unless you have a separate ticket for the party).

How to Plan Ahead for Disneyland at Halloween

For a few days after the decorations go up and on Halloween night, the place gets jam-packed. If you can, try to go on a Sunday or weekday, when crowds will be smaller.

The crowds are also more manageable if you plan ahead. These are some things to do:

If you’re going for more than one day, buy your Disneyland tickets online in advance to avoid standing in line for them.

Use Ridemax to avoid standing in line at the rides.

Reserve Disneyland tours such as the Happiest Haunts Tour or Walk in Walt’s Footsteps a month in advance. Call 714-781-4585.

Make reservations for Disneyland restaurants such as the Blue Bayou at least two weeks in advance at 714-781-3463 or reserve online.

02of 10

The Decorations

•••

Halloween decorations appear everywhere in Disneyland, starting at the entrance gates. Town Square at the end of Main Street boasts a 16-foot tall Mickey-Mouse-shaped jack-o-lantern that’s very popular for photographs, and Main Street is decked out in orange and yellow bunting, with more than 300 pumpkins peeping from its windows.

03of 10

The Character Halloween Costumes

•••

Many of the Disney characters will be wearing their Halloween costumes as they greet guests. Young girls especially seem to enjoy wearing their Disney princess outfits while visiting the park, and if you buy them one for their visit, they can wear it for the holiday, too.

04of 10

The Haunted Mansion Holiday

•••

Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas, a tale of what happens when Halloween tries to create Christmas, is an annual Disneyland feature from early October through the end of the year.

The special Halloween decorations in Haunted Mansion Holiday, based on Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, are extensive and whimsical, with jack-o-lanterns replacing the hitchhiking ghosts. Haunted Mansion is Disneyland’s best Halloween spot. You may want to ride it twice to take it all in, and be sure to stop by after dark when candles flicker outside.

05of 10

Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy

•••

Every year in the fall, a bunch of ghosts moves into Space Mountain, bringing along a soundtrack and special effects just for the holiday. The creepy, projected character that cast members call Dolores shows up during the ride, sometimes seeming so much in your face that you think she’s going to get into the car with you. Outside, projections turn the roof into a morphing montage of textures and effects.

06of 10

Mickey’s Halloween Party

•••

This event happens in October on Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays and Halloween night and requires a Fridays and Halloween night and requires a separate ticket purchase, which gives access to attractions, exclusive seating for the fireworks and other activities. Adults can wear costumes to the party; a privilege restricted to the under-ten set the rest of the year. Read more about it here.

07of 10

The Halloween Screams Fireworks

•••

It’s a fireworks show created just for the season, but it only happens during Mickey’s Halloween Party.

08of 10

The Halloween Souvenirs and Treats

•••

Disneyland comes up with sweet treats for every holiday and season. These candy apples were on sale in the candy shop window on Main Street USA.

You can also pick up a pretty inexpensive souvenir at Halloween, especially if you like popcorn. The bucket is different every year. In the past, it has featured Zero, who is Jack Skellington’s faithful ghost dog in Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas and a cute Cinderella’s carriage.

09of 10

Disney’s Happiest Haunts Tour

•••

A seasonal-themed version of the behind-the-scenes tour, visiting all the holiday attractions and with reserved seating for the fireworks. Call 714-781-4565 to reserve it, up to one month in advance. Read a detailed review of the tour at MousePlanet.

10of 10

California Adventure at Halloween

•••

Most of the Halloween-themed rides are in Disneyland, but at California Adventure, Oogie Boogie from Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas takes over with his twisted tale of a forever Halloween.

Cars Land gets a Haul-O-Ween makeover as the citizens of Radiator Springs don Halloween costumes and decorate their respective homes for the season. Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree turns spooky as the Graveyard JamBOOree, and Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters getting a seasonal twist to become Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween.

Art F City: Highlights, and a Sad Observation, From MICA’s Commencement Exhibition

Ceramics by Keli Beth Smith.

As a rule, we don’t generally discuss student work on the blog. There are plenty of reasons for this, but for me, one is simple: I am forever grateful no one from the art press ever saw the terrible work I was struggling through in art school.

Yet nearly every Spring, I am impressed by commencement exhibitions—how is it possible that so many college seniors have their shit together more than so many grown-ass artists? Thesis shows at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), my old alma mater, tend to be particularly polished and worthwhile.

This year, though, has been a rough one for students nationally. I can’t imagine dealing with Trump’s election in the Fall and inauguration at the start of the Spring semester, all while trying to figure out what the hell you’re doing with your last year of art school. So much work looks like students just gave up hope halfway through a concept—as if a collective trauma had left everyone dispirited and unable to focus. We at AFC can certainly sympathize. The situation is fucking unfair.

That’s why this year we’re covering the MICA commencement show, which closes today (go see it if you’re in Baltimore!). Although it’s overall less enthusiastic and high-caliber than years past, those who persevered through the crisis and turned it out deserve recognition. It’s worth noting that the sprawling show could, in general, benefit from some outside curatorial advice.

Below, the stand-out highlights from the class of 2017. If they can survive pulling-off thesis projects this good in spite of (and often in reference to) the apocalypse, the art world will be a cakewalk:

Chas Druin

Chas Druin’s work in the Gateway Building stands out for several reasons. It’s one of the best strategies for displaying garments I’ve seen employed here—they take on an eerie, vaguely sinister presence that complements the work’s dystopic vibe. The individual pieces recall military or ritualistic uniforms that have been deconstructed and reconstructed into odd forms that would fit awkwardly on typical bodies. One form, which might be a peacoat re-tooled into some sort of protective suit for radiation, looms menacingly over a more feminine (but still gender ambiguous) ensemble. This collection is what Comme des Garçons costumes for The Handmaid’s Tale would look like, one of many reasons it feels timely.

“Family Portrait” installation view, featuring A.F. Oehmke and Emily Walla.

Tucked away in an upper studio of the Fox Building, A.F. Oehmke and Emily Walla’s collaborative installation makes the overhung gauntlet in the rest of the building worth it. Walla’s sculptures reference impractical midcentury modern furniture. They’re flawlessly crafted, but suggest fragility and an uncomfortable domestic sphere—this is a precarious home where inhabitants and visitors must walk on eggshells. The only splashes of color are a few sparse houseplants and tabloids (“Our Catastrophe”) from A.F. Oehmke scattered on several of Walla’s pieces. “Our Catastrophe” has headlines such as “SHIT’S FUCKED UP!” and “ARE WE ALL BECOMING KIM?!?!?!?!?!?! JERRY SALTZ WEIGHS IN!” The decline of Western Civilization, indeed.

Trevor Blauth, “Epitaph,” installation view.

Trevor Blauth’s Epitaph was one of the first rooms I encountered in the Station Building, and perhaps became the high standard by which I considered all subsequent shows. The installation has an immersive quality that speaks to the remarkably high production value. And like most of this year’s highlights, it’s fraught with anxiety. The gallery is full of sod, with industrial-looking wishing wells (one of which holds a Fiji water bottle floating in dirty water) and a full-scale greenhouse. In the greenhouse, an old TV displays a video game avatar waiting endlessly on a futuristic subway platform. There’s no controller, so the viewer just watches the back of the protagonist as background characters pass him by. Scattered around the gallery, burnt pieces of paper display tiny text, such as “I think happiness is what makes you pretty. Period. Happy people are beautiful. They become like a mirror and they reflect that happiness.” It’s not mentioned in the text, but it’s a quote from Drew Barrymore, the artist whispered to me.

Reece Cox, “Acids in the Style of Phineas Gauge”

Down the hall, Reece Cox’s “Acids in the Style of Phineas Gauge” would be easy to miss if it weren’t for its rumbling soundtrack. Thankfully, it drew me in. It’s one of the most understated but oddly rewarding installations. The artist has replaced all the fluorescent bulbs in a grim conference room with lime green lights. They match the color of sunlight trickling through the tree canopy of the overgrown train tracks outside perfectly—extending the surreal quasi-urban/quasi-wild outdoors into the institutional space. As if to remind the viewer of the room’s usual lighting, a haphazard strand of LEDs flashes occasionally in synch with Cox’s droning music. It’s strangely elegant in its simplicity and honesty (the four speakers are visible, no effort is made to clean up the cords, and the whiteness of the simple light tube references the artifice of the intervention).

Alison Baskerville. “Turf War”.

Of all the vaguely post-apocalyptic work in this year’s commencement show, Alison Baskerville’s Turf War feels the most fun. Her space is littered with technicolor garments that include Balaclavas with slogans such as “HOLLYWASTE” and “CHESTCOAST”. A monitor displays a strange, ritualistic fight club that’s somewhere between lucha libre, a fashion show, and worldstarhiphop.com brawls.

This is the suburban nightmare of the not-so-distant future—if Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome predicted leather would outlast civil society, Baskerville seems to argue it would be synthetic weave, faux-fur, plastic sequins, and all the dayglo vinyl and polyester fabrics that go on sale after Halloween.

Keli Beth Smith, “Slam Pig”.

In the adjoining gallery, Keli Beth Smith’s ceramic pieces get a nod for their versatility and demonstration of mastery over the craft. These include her fetish formal china (top of the page) and figurative sculptures such as “Slam Pig,” in which two golden figures lay on an animal hide masturbating facing away from each other. I should mention that masturbation is a recurring motif across every discipline this year. I suppose that’s one tried-and-true strategy for stress management? At any rate, these ceramic figures are a little unsettling due to their size—they’re proportioned like adults, but scaled to be the height of children. These wouldn’t look out of place in a blue-chip gallery.

Will Staub

I have a soft spot for Will Staub’s takeover of the Gateway Building’s cafe, largely because I once worked for the school’s food services company, and he certainly interrupts the monotony of that post. Staub repackaged the instant food items for sale, so that Goya blackbeans now come in a breakfast-cereal-proportioned box or Chicken of the Sea tuna can come in a potato chip bag (gross). All of the labels have a strange warped quality, as if they had been scanned from their original packages and then reformatted to other shapes regardless of their dimensions. When we visited, the cafe was closed, but an instruction sheet provided for employees filled us in. Everything is for sale, including regular menu items which would be covered with a red dot once ordered. His items, however, can presumably be restocked. Bagged goods cost $10 and boxes $20. That’s a little steep for campus food options (just slightly, sadly), but a damned bargain for an art object (consider Gabriel Orozco’s collection of $30,000 convenience store products, rigged to depreciate with an economy of scale). This feels like a sounder investment.
