We're going to a costume party, and I'm going to be Tippi Hedren in "The Birds." My husband is going in a plain suit as Rod Taylor, her romantic co-star. I have a blonde updo wig and a sea-foam green 60s-style suit and jewelry. I have four large, fake black crows that I'm going to attach in various places (one on my shoulder--one in my hair, etc.). I haven't decided about fake blood yet. I don't really want to mess up the look if I can help it.

I can't wait. I've been planning this costume since last year when I found the crows at a Halloween store. The only bad thing is I hate wearing wigs. They're hot and uncomfortable, and they mess up my real hair.
