Found this beyond long whip at Halloween City that made me want to dress as a ringleader. Again. So I scouted and found everything at Goodwill.

Halloween 2013: Ringleader Reboot
Longer whip, more flamboyant shirt, leather hot pants. The ringleader is back baby. The only thing it looks as if I'm recycling is the vest and the hat. I cannot find my boots for the life of me but I know where the hat is and I have a good idea where the vest is too.

New Additions

Classic burlesque take on it.
This looks like it's going to win as the look of the night
A little more on the scary side
More clown-like
Ridiculous Deal: Love Culture add-ons
Love Culture convinced me to set foot in their store after having BOGO yoga pants for $8. Then I got to the cash register.
For some reason, the human psyche believes that the cost of a dollar is the magic number. I went add-on crazy.
Here are the spoils:
Arrow ring
Barrettes
With my shirt haircut, I need all the help I can get.
Chevron earrings.
Studded friendship bracelet.
Ridiculous Deal: Sephora clearance fishing.
Today as every week I go into Sephora and burrow through theirs entire clearance center. This week I found a Cinna-esqe gold eyeliner, and though I haven't been impressed by Sephora brand products in the past, I figured that it couldn't hurt to have some awesome gold eyeliner. I'll do an update as soon as I wear it. 
How it looks on me.

Lookbook: 101 Ways to Make your eyes pop
I got an email from Daily Makeover with an article detailing 101 Ways to Make to make Your Eyes Pop http://www.dailymakeover.com/trends/101-eye-makeup-tips/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Dailymakeover%20Newsletter&utm_campaign=DM%20Newsletter%20-%20Automated%20%28Daily%29%202013-10-27
Here were several points that I'll definetly use in the future:
OOTD: My favorite tank
I have this one tank that reads "Rules Were Never Meant to be Broken" that is very special to me. First, because of my faith- it encompasses what my Walk is about. Second, I cut down a maxi dress to make this top. I honestly wish I could wear it more. So I wore it to church on Sunday with my favorite jeans, a ripped number from Hollister. Black & gold are my favorite combo so this may just be my favorite outfit.
