I'm too busy at the moment to really start working on anything, but I have been in full planning stage for awhile. I'm trying not to do that thing where I get ideas after the holiday is over, and then procrastinate on them. This year I'm well on track, since the party was mid month - so I still had plenty of Halloween time to focus on what I'm doing.

Here is what I know I'm doing:

- Embroidering my green wool coat & tailoring it to fit better
- Designing the rest of my ensemble (gender neutral/androgynous Poison Ivy). Still trying to figure out what I'm going for with this.
- Painting monstrous bacteria on some awesome glass slides I was given in this year's Secret Reaper exchange.
- A field book of deadly plants, written in character as Poison Ivy (Complete with post-it-notes!)
- Plant monster specimens


As for the food, I'm aiming for a lot of vegan stuff. I did research into what Poison Ivy eats, and the jury is out. In some versions she gets upset if people pick flowers, but there's no evidence she gets upset about vegetables. And in the Animated Series, she eats salad with Harley. Consensus seems to be she's either a vegan because it's the best option, or she's decided that it's a worthwhile sacrifice since she's there to save all the plants.

I'm thinking more logically, a plant person would understand that delicious things around their seeds so they would be spread by animals. There are plenty of plants that can't survive with animals eating parts of them. So therefore, it would make sense she would insist on this as the ideal - animals eating plants in a way that is beneficial to plants, and animals not growing too numerous or dangerous.

As a fun note, I like the idea of there being kale everywhere. Signs saying, "Kale is your friend!" "KAAAAAALE" etc.
