It’s time: our annual Halloween build! Another year defending our title as That House in our neighborhood. This year’s theme is

Thank you! Bit of a whirlwind to get things sorted, but it’s a good month to be out for several weeks at my job. I’ll be back before things get really busy. :)
Top surgery moved from several months away to…less than three weeks away.

Extremely happy, extremely stressed to get work and insurance sorted that quickly. 🥲

A beautiful glimpse into the past:

It swelled up quite a lot but I’m decently confident it’s just a bad bruise. At least that’s the energy I’m putting out. 😅
I’m going to be so very annoyed if I broke a toe
Oooh, iconic. Absolutely will stay with you.
The Boyfriend is piecing together his outfit for Ed/Blackbeard for Halloween so I’m just sitting on his bed like

The duality of my book shopping recommendations
I found Cab Franc AND Carménère this month so I am quite pleased
I work out so I can bring in the entire case on Wine Wednesday restock day
The double-edged sword of having a very youthful face: can cosplay pretty anime men but don’t pull it off as well in every day life

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month
We’re nearly done with Halloween building, and probably for the best. I’m burning myself out. I’d love a weekend to just unwind and catch up on reading and spooky movies.
The Big treats are filled in gold bar boxes. These will be the game prizes (or late night bonuses if we have left overs). Boxes include a full size candy bar, pirate stickers, and a pirate bandana.
I don’t get it all! But Parfumo reviews are rife with comparisons. I don’t think they’re very similar at all. I like Angel’s Share, but I will swoon over incense and iris any day!
Any begonia people know if the ferox requires super high humidity? For reference, I have a brevirimosa in ambient humidity (near a small humidifier) and it’s doing just fine.

I want a ferox but I don’t have space for a cabinet or large terrarium. 🥲
Ooo, very fancy! Smell all the things!
Ah, that sucks. I admit I blind bought my Zaras to avoid the mall. 😂 I’ve had luck by checking the perfumers. Majestic Green, Imperial Purple, (both sadly discont) & Antique Brown are my favorites.

For iris - have you tried the Givenchy Gentlemen line? They’re unisex to me and all feature iris.
It’s really lovely and it’s finally cool enough here to wear. Gourmands are a hard sell for me, but this feels a lot more incense/iris forward with a bit of spiced orange chocolate. Excellent cold weather fragrance for about $30.
#SOTD is Sand Desert at Sunset by Zara, which earned me a compliment from my assistant.

Unfairly compared to Angel’s Share, Sand Desert is a more wood/incense forward gourmand. Lightly spiced bitter chocolate blended with an almost effervescent powdery iris and bright incense.
The biggest worry cis men should have in the bathroom with a trans man is that I am absolutely judging you for not washing your hands.
