This is how we do Halloweekend in Austin.

Hello there, ladies and gents! It feels like decades have passed since my last update. I'm still swamped with school and work, but I decided to have a little break over the last couple days. Since Halloween was last night, I thought I would share my pictures from this spooky weekend with y'all. Did anyone else dress up for the holiday? Please, do share your stories! I have no social life right now, so I need to live vicariously through others' stories and photos. Have a not-so-terrifying Tuesday, folks!

Gagarazzi: the long-awaited recap.

I am a terrible blogger: I attended Gagarazzi nearly two weeks ago, and I still haven't found time to write a post before now. For shame!

Can I blame it on the first week of classes and working double-shifts?

Does a video from Gagarazzi make up for my procrastination?

Yes? No? Maybe?

Either way, Gagarazzi was a drop-dead gorgeous night, filled with a nonstop, good-vibes-all-around energy that I would only expect in Austin. Despite not knowing half of the Lady Gaga songs I heard, I had a jolly good time. From the costumes to the raffle prizes, the Lady Gaga-themed benefit was 100% a success.

Thanks to local bloggers and other local news outlets, Gagarazzi attracted over 600 partygoers! If it wasn't for my media pass, I wouldn't have been able to get in--the venue was packed. The Lady Gaga-themed benefit for Equality Texas raised nearly $2,500, as well. How impressive is that? A big congrats to the crew over at Homespun Horror, as they pulled off one heck of an event that I hope the city of Austin never forgets! Feel free to relive the Gaga magic that occurred at The Highball through my photos.

This is what I wore...with electric blue tights, no less.

 No wonder: her grace and athleticism is inspiring.
