Looking like this getup is no longer saddled to just weddings & funerals
I was low key bummed that I was going to hand out candy without a costume this year.
@violetisdelicious.bsky.social said my hair looked like Jesse Custer's. It reminded me that, while I technically use this getup for official reasons, I do have a costume on standby.
