halloween idea #1: lady gaga's bubble dress

i have never really celebrated halloween living in australia. however, this year three friends and i have decided to throw a halloween combined birthday shin-dig. i'm really looking forward to this as i have never been very enthusiastic when i attend a dress-up party, but all of a sudden, i have a great desire to play dress-ups and be someone else for a night.

"Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." - Cady from Mean Girls.

well i don't intend to wear underwear and wear some sort of animal ears, but the past few days i have been trying to find an appropriate outfit for the birthday shin-dig.
