An Entangled Halloween Guest Blog and Giveaway with Aubrie Dionne

Home Made CostumesBy Aubrie Dionne
Growing up in a family of four, we didn't have money for fancy, store bought costumes, so my mom made all of our costumes. She sewed old curtains into princess dresses, leopard fabric into a jumpsuit, and used some of her old clothes to make gypsy skirts. My sister and I always dressed as twins, so she made two costumes: mine a little bigger than hers.
My mom was very creative! I think homemade costumes are the best when you have the time to make them. As a kid, I didn't know the difference between my costumes and the other kids'. But now, looking back, I feel very proud to have had her make them for me.
Last year I went to a costume party with my husband. We both work, so I bought the costumes off of a website. They looked amazing, of course, (which you'll see in the picture-I'm Arwen the elf, and my husband is a cross between Leogolas and Aragorn. We had a blond wig, but he wanted a sword instead of a bow.) But, somehow it didn't feel as good as wearing the ones my mom used to make.
Have you ever made your own Halloween costume?

Aries has lived her entire life aboard mankind's last hope, the New Dawn, a spaceship traveling toward a planet where humanity can begin anew—a planet that won't be reached in Aries' lifetime. As one of the last genetically desirable women in the universe, she must marry her designated genetic match and produce the next generation for this centuries-long voyage.

But Aries has other plans.

When her desperate escape from the New Dawn strands her on a desert planet, Aries discovers the rumors about pirates—humans who escaped Earth before its demise—are true. Handsome, genetically imperfect Striker possesses the freedom Aries envies, and the two connect on a level she never thought possible. But pursued by her match from above and hunted by the planet's native inhabitants, Aries quickly learns her freedom will come at a hefty price.

The life of the man she loves.
