All hail Halloween!

My favorite holiday of the year is fast approaching. I already have my costume all planned out (Elle Woods!), but it was--as always--a difficult decision. Let me share my short list with you, in the hopes that it will give someone some last-minute inspiration:

Cheerful
- air hostess (I thought of this long before Pan Am, I'll have you know.)
- Little Red Riding Hood
- cupcake
- Pippa Middleton (I would have put together the outfit myself, but you can "cheat.")
- Amelia Earhart
- T-Mobile spokeswoman (Didn't know about their publicity campaign around her before I googled her image--smart.)
- Morton Salt girl
- Paddington Bear

Scary
- The Black Swan (with the husband as The White Swan)
- A toddler in tiara!

Wishing you only treats,

Listetrice: Traveler's Edition

Happy October, everyone! I've just returned from a lovely vacation in the UK, which was especially fun given that one of the books I'm currently editing is set in early-20th-century London.

Related to our travels, my husband has finally posted an entry to his blog that we commoners can understand, so I thought I'd share it.

Also, while watching Food Network UK in my hotel, I learned that it was (or had recently been) National Cupcake Week there! You can be sure that my stay in Cardiff thus included a visit to Cupcakery Number 10 on this list.

Currently obsessing over . . .

1) "Big Sexy."

2) Mae Whitman's new haircut (so much that I'm considering getting it myself!).

3) Victoria Jamieson's Olympic blog post (I'm finally catching up on my blog reading). For the record, I remember Vicki playing it quite cool when we met Sasha Cohen. However, I cannot say the same for when we met Hayden Panettiere (and unfortunately photos were not allowed).

Great news from an author!

Mindy Hardwick, whose middle-grade novel, Stained Glass Summer, I worked on about a year and a half ago, just announced to me that it will be published December 11, 2011, by Musa Publishing! I'll let her tell you all about it.

 

 

Congratulations, Mindy!
