did you hear about the spider love triangle?



It was a tangled web.

Few things scare me more than seeing a real spider in my house (or honestly even outside of my house) but when it comes to Halloween apparel, spiders and spiderwebs are two of my favorite motifs. I think I like the aesthetic of the web and the shape of illustrated and definitely not real spiders, and it's almost like the designs are a distinct, separate thing from the actual bug. I know a few people who are comfortable with picking up spiders (with their bare hands!!) and it just gives me the willies. The only spiders I'll be touching are the knitted-on-my-sweater kind, thank you very much :)

evil twin



Happy October!!

I was watching reruns of I Dream of Jeannie a couple months ago and was remembering how much I always used to love the evil twin episodes of Jeannie and Bewitched when I was a kid. I always thought it seemed so fun to have an evil twin! (Maybe I was just a weird kid?) Anyway, I decided to create one for myself. 💁🏼‍♀️

Or more accurately, I decided to create an evil twin instagram. I've been secretly (or not so secretly... some of my friends found it somehow!) putting it together for several weeks so that it would be ready to launch at the start of Halloween season! It's just a fun project for me to share the not-quite-pastel side of my life. Black outfits, scary movies, books about the black death, what have you. If you're interested, my account is @kateseviltwin. If you're not interested, don't worry, my normal account is still Pastel City, USA! I'm so excited about having an outlet for all kinds of fun spooky Halloween posts this month, though, so I hope you'll tag along! :)
