It’s almost that time of year again… Cat-Mus! Since you seemed to enjoy my recent costume posts, here’s one for the winter.

I put together this Holiday Helper Costume by combining an elf outfit and stockings I found at Halloween Express. Scroll down for the story.

My earless Scottish Fold, Basil Farrow, wants to be a good boy and help Santa Claus.

So he puts on a pair of antlers, and turns into…

Basil the No-Nosed Reindeer!

To match him, I dressed as a naughty elf girl.

“Psst. Basil, what do you want for Cat-Mus?”

I think the answer is: cheek rubs.

My elf dress comes with a hat, buckle belt and boots. I added the hexagon fishnet tights.

Pop quiz: which of these cats is a clone from Hong Kong?

It’s a month early, but we wish you Merry Cat-Mas! May you be stuffed with gingerbread spice and mulled wine.

What are your plans for the holiday season? Will you travel anywhere, or celebrate in a special way?

PS: thank you to Slang Magazine for interviewing me about fashion. (Entrevista para Slang ¿Cómo fui cautivada por Harajuku? Lean, disfruten y compartan.)

Don’t forget, this blog is now available in Spanish translation by my friend Psique. Sigue La Carmina Tumblr en Espanol, gracias!
