Halloween Costume

As you know Halloween is this month so I am starting to find things for Halloween costumes. It is not that I like Halloween so much that I am getting ready 3 weeks early, it is just that our school has a costume party on the 21st and there is a lot of pressure to get a good costume.
Last year I had a horrible time as a Cowgirl, which is not very surprising, cause I did not know what style everyone else would be dressed as. But this year, everything is going to be different.
As I was singing along with my Phantom of the Opera songs (which I do quite often for some reason), it struck me that I could dress up as the Phantom! All I needed was a mask, cape, and a suit, so I got to work right away. The suit was easy to find, I just used my dad's, one of his dress shirts and my black pants. And I found the mask by a stroke of luck when we were out shopping. We were walking through one of those shops that sells everything, and we saw a paper mask! It was not the Phantom mask, but since it was paper we bought. When we got home I cut it just right, and my dad added a strap to it. I put on the mask and suit and looked into the mirror. I looked just like the Phantom, except for the long hair of course. Now all I need is a cape, I have not found that yet, but my mom has this idea of having one made at a seamstress. All we need then is the black material.
Wish me luck!
