On July 20, 2001, the film Ghost World was released in NY and LA.  It was written by Daniel Clowes (the creator of the comic book) and directed by Terry Zwigoff.

Here I am as the main character, Enid.  In the film she was played by Thora Birch.

When I was searching for costume items, I found this t-shirt on indigofeet's Etsy store!  Isn't it amazing?!  Perfect recreation of the t-shirt in the film.  You can get one too and check out the other great items she has!

The skirt came from Target and the suitcase was $6 at St. Vincent's.  I got a green one too, but decided I liked the red better for the photo.

Thank you to Rick, who drove all over town with me looking for a bus stop that would work!  He even looked up the actual film location, but learned that a bus stop was placed there for the movie and then taken away again.

This one is in Altadena in a spot that in way too sunny and shadowy all day long.  So we got up at 6am today to take it.  (It also happens to be overcast today, which is great!)

I'm typing a lot.  Just one more thing, though...

This was in part for my friend Jimmy, who loves this movie too and who named his cat Enid.

Yay!
