Three Things Tuesday

Holla!!

Happy Tuesday! How's things?

In true Tuesday tradition, I'm sharing three things which are currently giving me a case of the warm and fuzzies.

1. Halloween excitement
Halloween is my favourite holiday. Free chocolate, silly costumes, and an excuse to watch Hocus Pocus (not that an excuse is ever needed!) - what's not to love? Sadly, this year I won't be able to dress up because I'm taking part in my friend's wedding rehearsal on Halloween night. Given that I'm already chancing my luck entering a church at all (I'm probably going to burst into flames the minute I walk through the door) I'm guessing that being simultaneously dressed like a devil woman might be taking it too far. 

Despite having to go facepaint-free this year, I was still over the (full) moon to be sent a link to this adorable infographic* showing the most popular Halloween costumes of the last 25 years:

Although I have to admit, I found the scariest part to be the realisation that 1990 was 25 years ago!!! Where is time going to?! WHERE?!

2. Seriously FABULOUS TV
Just when I thought I couldn't possibly love Netflix any more, I discovered RuPaul's Drag Race. It's basically America's Next Top Model, which was already firmly fixed in my Top 5 Favourite TV shows EVER, but with drag queens(!!!) So far I've watched three episodes and seen the contestants make dresses out of "crap from the dollar store", drink cocktails with Tori Spelling, channel their inner Oprah, and hold a Destiny's Child dance-off. I. Am. Hooked. 

Finally, just when I thought I might literally burst with happiness about how totally freaking amazeballs this show is, I discovered that every episode ends with two lowest-scoring contestants battling to stay on the show by LIP SYNCING FOR THEIR LIFE. EEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP!!! 


*bursts with happiness*

3. Lovely comments
Thank you so much for your sweet comments about what you'd like to see more of on Hook, Line and Sink Her. Your wishes are my command! I did find it quite odd no-one requested more pictures of semi-naked men, but I've concluded you all assumed those went without saying.

*I was sent a link to this picture for review, but all opinions (and desires to dress up as a Ninja Turtle for the wedding rehearsal) are my own.

  1. Oh my, how that infographic made me laugh!! Yes, for sure it will be Elsa this year!!! There's a little girl in Year 1 who has an Elsa coat and I am smitten by it! Since my favourite colour is turquoise, that is my excuse!!!!

    That TV programme sounds hilarious!!x

  2. Now, I 'm not known for my mathematical prowess but surely 1990 was 24 years ago? Love those costumes!
    I saw an AMAZING makeup tutorial on youtube where this girl transformed herself into Elsa. She looked NOTHING like her, perhaps oriental but man, she looked like her in the end. We can all achieve our Disney Princess dreams. Yay! xxx

    1. I think you may be right! Good thing my job doesn't involve finance!

      Right - I'm off to find her on youtube! xxx

  3. I just can't believe that there are fully grown adults around us in society who were born in the 90s - surely that's just not possible?! :-)
    Very much liking the infographic as well; I always find it ironic at Halloween, me and Andrew have a loft full of costumes yet we've never actually been invited a Halloween fancy dress party! :-) xxx

  4. Haha clearly I'm far too boring at Halloween as I've not done any of those costumes! My usual witch or devil needs a rethink for this year! Xx

  6. I'm still reeling at the thought that 1990 was 25 years ago! I'm amazed at that thought, ridiculously!
