Alter Ego
For 10 years now, I’ve been a fan of the X-Files. I even accidently called one of my friends “Mulder” in the middle of a conversation once, that’s how deeply the infatuation of the show ran. As a redhead doctor-to-be and later on an actual doctor, well, I related a lot to the character of Dana Scully.
But until now, I had never dressed up as Scully for Halloween. What a waste of naturally red hair!
To complete the costume, I had my hair cut ( a little shorter than what I wanted but oh well, at least it grows) and toted a cell phone (unfortunately not old-school), a flashlight and the badge, which I made myself with the super-helpful assistance of a Office Max copy-center employee. I could not find a plastic gun, unfortunately, and as I thought up the idea late Oct 30, I did not have a Mulder either. If I had realized the number of guys who showed up at the party minus a costume, including way-too-good-looking-for-his-and-my-good-and-thank-heavens-he’s-moving Trouble Boy, I’d have recruited harder. 🙂

OMG awesome!! =)
Thank you! It was so much fun, I’m going to have to do it again (and again and again. In fact, I may not ever be anything else for Halloween!) 🙂

Freakin’ awesome costume, Julia. You’re totally a dead ringer :)!
Aw, thank you Nate! Now if I could just find me my Mulder. I know he’s out there somewhere!

Great costume!!!
I hope you had a LOT of fun!
Oh, I did. A great gathering of interesting people (and costumes) and a bonfire. You can’t get better!

Thankfully you went with Agent Scully, and not ridiculous Super Surgeon Crisis of Faith Scully Who’s So Annoying I Actually Don’t Love Her.
Can you tell I’m still bitter about that movie? It broke my heart.
I’ve so debated dying my hair Scully red for Halloween before. Never had the guts.
I was aiming for Season 5-6 Scully. Season 8 and beyond was a completely different character.
You should dye your hair and go as Scully. Just once. It’s so worth it!

Stunning – very nicely done indeed!
*blushes*
Thank you! I had a blast.

I’ve been dying to hear how your party went. I’m happy to see it was sucessful. I hope you write a bit more about what you did for it. Did the guy I know – Aaron B.- come?
My party did not happen. A week before the event, my bishopric announced a Halloween party at their home, thereby trumping mine. I’m still slightly annoyed, but that’s okay. It was a lot of fun in any case, and I didn’t have to worry so much about hosting.
Aaron B did show up at the party though. 🙂
