StefanieLT and I share a common fascination with The Stepford Wives. Her costume is classic Stepford Wife style comprised of a kitschy apron, pearl necklace, clean updo, and red lips. She even made made a candy-stuffed turkey out of paper mache for extra drama — love it.

A Fabby Halloween: A Stepford Wife

I know it's a demeaning classic, but have you ever read The Stepford Wives?

I know it's a demeaning classic, but have you ever read The Stepford Wives? The book is pretty good and a very quick read. I read it after I saw the remake movie version with Nicole Kidman, then I rented the '75 original. I don't know why I was so fascinated. Probably the same reason I love femme bots. The only time I would encourage dressing up like a blond robot is Halloween. So don't take it too seriously, it is kind of fun to dress up like Barbie. The nice thing about being a Stepford is that it isn't a slutty costume. Remember, the men of Stepford didn't want their wives flaunting their goods all over town, just in their own sick private worlds.

Get ready for lots more Halloween ideas as my Fabby Halloween series takes off. Join my A Fabby Halloween group where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.

Happening Hair: The Modern Half Up, Half Down

Here is a happening do that is a modern take on the old half up, half down style.

Here is a happening do that is a modern take on the old half up, half down style. This look is great for those of you with long layers or one solid length - so basically anyone, but you have to have some substantial length to pull this off. This is also a quick style for women on the go. It keeps your hair out of your eyes, but won't take it completely off of your face. Ultimately, this is a super sexy hair style, hence it being modeled here on some of the world's sexiest women. You can wear this hair on the third day of a blowout too, just as the crown is getting greasy. This look is also a great way to add volume to a round shaped face.
