Spent the night with my two favorite boys jumping around between random houses and bars with the obligatory pit stop to pick up beer and M&Ms. I think my makeup turned out to be more just really shimmery than sickly like I wanted it to look but I've never really been too handy with makeup. Colin was a Roman warrior that I tried to pass off as Atreyu and Chris a pretty convincing motorcycle accident victim that ended up getting fake blood all over me. Most random costume I saw: girl dressed as Salad Fingers. Props for specificity.
I have to say a huge thank you to Nature Graffiti for the suggestion on using Forever 21 accessories to make the headpiece - I found a double strand necklace that I separated and re-tied along with the big pin..sadly they didn't have anything teardrop-shaped like the original one but I think I got lucky enough that the strands were the right length for my dome. Someone also commented when I posted my plan that the Neverending Story wasn't too big in the US, which makes sense since I had to really explain my costume to pretty much everyone. Makes sense, I think I was living in Tokyo or Hong Kong during the peak of my obsession as a child. The fact I randomly threw on a vintage faux fur for warmth probably only confused the matter more.

Awesome costumes. And great last photo.
you are just so cool. your life seems so exciting, love the costume:)
xx -a
wait, are you dressed up? I like your make up and love the fcuk dress. I don't know why you posted that last pic though. I don't even mind smoking all that much but that pic looks pretty disgusting.. I know smoking pics can look pretty 'artistic' or whatever but the smoke it just like floating out of your mouth instead of you blowing it out..quite nasty.
mmmm beer and pretty boys. your costume turned out fabulous.
=]]
You look pretty as always. Love that dress! That last picture is unflattering though. The guys look great in their costumes.
your bf's costume was prettay cool. we spent our halloween in australia eating lollies we were supposed to give out and throwing potatoes @ people =) anyway, love the costume.
ooooh. the boys look like twins!
lol at salad fingers
i heart your dress
what shoes were you wearing? :)
Aww, I LOVE Neverending Story!!! I saw it SO many times when i was a child! Great costume, love the dress:)
I just dressed up as a fairy,but I liked it:) (pics on my blog if u wanna see)
I have to say that the MC accident victim is very well done!
studly motorcycle victim
I loved Neverending Story too! I was in Brazil at the time, so don't know how big it was elsewhere...Love the headpiece!
love it!! esp the hookah shot in the end!
i think you can wear this entire outfit any other day and, look perfectly fine.
xo
I really love your make-up Rumi but I have to say, I've absolutely never heard of neverending story lol! The motorcycle victim is quite convincing as well!
Loves it....Ur headband is so cool
looks like fun! haha someone dressed as salad fingers?? thats amazing.
You are all Hott. HAHA
ewww omg I pretty much love the whole motorcycle accident thing, the exposed ribs are like the icing on the cake. I need to step up my costume game next year for sure.
R they brothers? Hot looking bunch of people you guys are, even in costumes. But I don't think the smoke shot is sexy there either. I'm missing the sigarette in the shot. Kinda looks like strange chemical fume is coming out of you. lol.
is that colin's brother? yum.
your costume looks great, i love the headpiece! & while i personally don't remember neverending story, it was definitely huge in australia as well!
also, i love doing that with cigarette smoke as well, its fun to see it just floating out of your mouth. what do people care if you post a pic of it or not? you're not smoking onto them, for goodness sake!
awesome headpiece, can you explain how you made it??
i would have to go along with the other americans and say that i have no idea what the neverending story is. your outfit doesn't look very costumey though, like you could just wear that somewhere.
i LOVE the neverending story!! and i was born and raised in the U.S.
I knew what you meant right away and was sooo happy! I always thought she was the most intriguing character and wished she had more scenes haha. That first picture is perfection with the sun behind, your bf has become quite good as a photographer!
Either way, you guys looked awesome.
oh you smoke?
are those two brothers?
sweet costume idea!
oh you smoke?
are those two brothers?
sweet costume idea!
Your eye makeup here is so well done Rumi! I kinda like it shimmery this way, makes you look a little ethereal. And i'm surprised not many people know the movie, I LOVED it when i was young. The flying 'carpet' dog was my favourite!
looks like fun, you all look awesome! great.
xx
Rumi, you're gorgeous!
The headpiece turned out great!
The Neverending Story was big in Europe to, well at least where I come from :)
Hope you had a great Halloween!
You had great outfits!
juliet xxx
Love your costume!
I lived in the U.S. then and remember watching the first two movies on VHS.
I actually watched the 2nd one first because of Jonathan Brandis, and the Childlike Empress was played by another girl.
when i was younger, the childlike empress creeped the hell outta me! she talked sooo slowly and pronounced every syllable. ahahah
anyway, it's definitely a great costume and the headpiece came out pretty awesome as well.
the motorcycle accident victim makes me feel queasy. thank you for that lol
love all the pictures and i'll have to say that the last one is "smockin'hot"!
We don't celebrate halloween in france so it's such a delight to see your pictures! when you'll' have time come on my blog!
P-S: beer+m&m's= perfect party
Great second picture.
Awesome costumes!!
Oh my gooood! I though I was the only freak in the whole world who loves salad fingers!!! Seriously, I love him, it's so adorable!
Your fur cape is fantastic.
you are so the childlike empress!
amazing job! love the headpiece!
and salad fingers? that guy is so creepy... did you take pix of the person?
I'm such a geek, but your costume made me clap my hands like a 2-year old. Fabulous!
Wow!!
Hey you looked great ! In france, we don't know how to celebrate Halloween ^^.

Hey you looked great ! In france, we don't know how to celebrate Halloween ^^.
You look really otherworldly in these shots, and the motorcycle accident costume is scarily realistic, I looked at this post and I was like omg what happened to that guy!! Also a big what the hell at that salad fingers thing. I just watched it and now I'm vaguely disturbed.
The motorcyle accident victim is perfect. And you look so gorgeous and ethereal.
Love the motorcycle accident costume, its brilliant! And as a few people have pointed out prior to me, are the two brothers?
You used to live in HK? i had no idea! i grew up there but am in the states for uni right now.
I love your costume! And the motorcycle costume is just amazing! How did he manage to cut up a helmet?!
HAHA! OMG I can't believe the last pic! You seriously tried to make it turn out "arty" or beautiful, but it looks like trashy shit. Also, you're face is seriously fucked up. ED or drugs?
you look so ethereal and pretty! except for the last picture- why would you ruin your beauty by breathing poison? i'm disappointed that you smoke.
wow what a horribe thing to say...if you don't like her or her blog don't bother reading!
gorgeous costume!
Such a ladylike and pretty costume.
Love the photos! You can wear this any where, any day. Love the headpiece and the fauz fur!
your dress are fabulous !
Hey Rumi, I just saw you on FTV with Erin for the Alexander Wang show. My friend and I were like, "Is that Rumi?" Anyway I love your Childlike Empress costume and your makeup worked out fine in my book. You and Colin are such a gorgeous couple by the way, but im sure you already know that.
I hope you didn't start smoking because you're hanging with a certain crowd or whatever..You never mentioned that you smoked..That last pic really didn't come out right. It really does make smoking look gross instead of artsy cool. Other than that, like the outfit.
Great costumes!
who cares if she smokes.. you people are weird-o's and obsessed. I smoke when I drink because it's feels great. Who cares? Anyway... Rumi, your boyfriuend looks just like Rob Thomas of matchbox twenty in that 4th photo. It has to be the eyeliner. Love your headpiece.
You are insanely well dressed for Halloween, although I am finding your friends costumes tres scary.
you look like a glamorous famous kind of back from the dead woman! hahaha i think it's the fur coat. regardless you still look ravishing! and who is that other boy. he's pretty freakin hotttttttt.
WOW you were enchanting! sparkling Rumi! ;D the head-iece look amazing... good job! Colin looks good too and Chris... LOL Chris is totally crazy! very strange idea to dress up like motorcycle accident victim... LOL :D
On my own, to look like Amy, I spent almost three hours to get her hair, make up and tattoo... MY GOD! I was exausted! but it has been worth one's while, 'cause I won a prize as the most particular dress-up of the night! :D
rumi you look so fabulous, i especially love the diy headpiece and your gorgeous eye makeup.
i have to say that i live in indiana and the neverending story was huge for me growing up, so idk why everyone is so confused! haha.
and your friend chris just gives me chills...it looks so real.
I must admit that I had to google never ending story to understand your costume hehe - looks good now that I know the reference.
The boys look great :)
I love your costume!! I just posted my Halloween pictures too. Don't you wish Halloween was every day!? Your headband is better than Nicole Richies btw, Im so proud!
If we're ever in the same area we should get a drink, or tea and talk all-things fashion.
xo
Krystal
you look sooo cool!!! :) and the makeup too! :)
I love the dress.
i love the entiriety of the costume! i love the neverending story; i actually found the dvd for both I & II in this clearance bin for 5 bucks a while ago; and i loved it!
xoxo,
La C
You look lovely. It's not even a "costume". You should dress like that more often. It's very high-society "Edie" to me. Lovely~~
I really love the headband, you should leave it this way and wear it out
or, if you decide to go that route - for your own wedding (how kickass would that be? a hippie luxe wedding headband...you could market that)
also - I had no idea you smoked. hmm.
sorry to be nosey, but is this chris your bf's brother? either way, he is very cute. is he straight, taken?
Oh that motorcycle accident victim costume is disturbingly convincing. Big plus for looking cute in it :)
People that doesn't look like cigarette smoke, must be a hookah or somethin..
you've got a great fashion sense!
You look so lovely in that outfit. Love the fur!
the headband is beautiful. its so nice that you made it yourself.
would you ever make your own clothes line?
The motorcycle victim was totally awesome! Would have be nice to see full body photos of Colin's costume!
The headpiece is really beautiful, definitely channeling Neverending Story which I think is still one of the best movie ever, though it did kinda freak me out as a kid. =)
Love the dress!
I loved and still love Neverendig Story but hey, Im Swedish so.. :P
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1389/1440661324_962b53d97c_o.jpg
you look so pretty! gotta be honest though, the costume looks like something you'd just wear everyday.
really cute outfit you put together. your boys look like twins! and you smoke? kinda looks weird without the cigarette? xo
never ending story= best 80s movie ever. Maybe some are too young to remember... anyhow, your costume is so childlike empress. yay!
the smoking is a huge turnoff...AWESOME costume tho. you look beautiful as always...
I'm glad you got peanut butter M&Ms, they're the best. Perfect costume, love the Never-Ending Story.<3
PLEASE TAKE THE SMOKING PICTURE OFF! So many girls look up to you (many of them young!), it's not good to see!!!
Ooh great costume ^-^! Love the headpiece!
And the motorcycle accident guy looks really funny haha ^-^
Love your costume!
The blood/ribs looks gruesome! haha
rumi you are gorgeous!!!
Thanks for your comment !
Your Halloween costume is amazing ! I love it ! You're so beautiful in it !
Can you please show how you made that headpiece? p.s i think this would be an awesome outfit for any day! and that last picture looks badass
Did you put makeup on Colin? lol.
And your friend's costume is pretty amazing.
Sadly, I'm not to familiar with Neverending Story, but you're looking pretty as usual.
The Neverending Story one of my favorite movies of all time!!
haha it looks like you're smoking pot. yea i kind of have to agree with the "younger girls look up to you" comment. and your boyfriend looks like a model wow.
I like your headpiece.
love the headpiece,the picture with smoke in your mouth is great
nice blog
you look absolutely stunning, love it
Love your dress and especially the first pic! You probably get asked this all the time, but what kind of camera do you use? Your pics always look so professional.
you smoke?
Your costume looks really really pretty but some of the poses you do are god awful.
I don't get why anyone would want to put a pic of smoke up???
Just as I suspected. You are such low class TRASH.
Mine was the last comment and I didn't mean to post anon. My name is Robin.
No wonder you always look so beat... You're a smoker, a toker or just really fucking ugly. All of the above?!
Jesus, what's with all the negativity guys? Lay off, would ya?
Bithcin costume, looks like you three had tons of fun, how the hell did he do that motorcycle accident?!? So freaking amazing
and I of course love the last pic, I can totally see it ending up on le smoking
and that really intense one of the guys is too great, so funny
cute costume. sweet pics!
who cares about the smoke?! personal choice. you people need to get out more.
who cares about the smoke?! personal choice. you people need to get out more.
the outfit is awesome and looks beautiful... buy yeah i agree with others it is ruined by the last shot.
and yeah the young girls comment is true too :(
you looked GORGEOUS! and the headpiece was very original! i'd never think of doing something like that!
the costumes of your friends look amazing also..you three look like fashion magazine models, seriously, ur THAT good looking!
Yeah, I have to also be the 100th person to the smoking pic wasn't flattering. Maybe the young girls will take it as an anti-smoking message, who knows.. All three of your costumes rocked though! I know Colin's your boyfriend, but the motorcycler looks at you with such bashful longing (sorry reading too much into pics :P)
adore the headband
adore the headband
dear rumi,
not here to comment on your life . who you are or what you do , all i want to say is . that dress was made for you . your head-dress is absolutly stunning, what a brill job. + i cant take my eyes off your make up . absolutly beautiful - did u use eye shadows? either way in these pics u look like your having a amazing time. another inspirational post !
xxx
It's so gutless to hide behind an anonymous profile! Attacking someone's physical appearance is so not called for.
ergh!! It disgusts me how rude some girls can be.
you know i HAVE to copy that outfit for my next costume-party? i felt so like the princess when i was a child and used a chain with a pendant and tried to fix it in my head but it was impossible! i have to wear that headpiece!
what the hell ... haha i knew as soon as i saw that last picture i knew people we're gonna be bitching.. but god damn. i didn't know smoking was that serious to some people. shit come to japan everyone and there fucking mom and grandmother smoke cigarettes. i hate when people act ignorant. people aren't going to do things that they aren't already predisposed to do. and who the fuck cares. just to despise people you should smoke in every single one of your pictures for like a month. hahaha. that's what i would do. haha but i think i'm a rebel. fuck the dumb bitches. do your thang girl, haha. you're hot, fuck the haters.
The men are looking damn good in these pictures. Lovin the greek god!!
I never thought I would comment on this blog, but seriously people...it is HER blog, which means, she does what SHE wants. Get over it! When did she ask to be a role model, and since when does wearing nice clothes make you a role model?
Get a clue.
WOAh! Chris is fiiiine!
*fans self*
Pretty people.
You channel my favorite storybook character well. :)
♥/ fashion chalet
your costume is amazing! i loved that movie when i was a kid and i knew exactly who you were. :)
Childlike Princess!!! I loved that movie as a kid. It was a hit in Australia.
I find it interesting, people talking about role models, the very nature of displaying a completely materialistic and consumer-driven lifestyle pretty much moves you out of the "role model" category anyway. Not that that's neccessarily a problem, the beauty of blogging (and not actually being paid for it!) means you can do whatever the hell you want, and owe nobody anything. Sweet.

@crista: Oh yeah of course, I mean the fact that everyone smokes in Japan does majorly justify this habit. I mean, that's sooooo logical, I can't believe that for a second I thought you were talking plain shit.
your beautiful.
and the smoking picture is too, regardless of what people say or think.
That's an awesome costume idea! You look wonderful.
young girls, role model, blah blah blah...i'm a young girl who reads rumi's blog daily and does that naturally mean i'm going to emulate everything she does? i find it irritating that people are choosing to pick on personal choices instead of looking at your gorgeous cosutme. awesome headpiece, make up.
Yay - you totally pulled off the look!
okay "anonymous".. so i totally feel lame as fuck talking back to you through rumi's comment space, but i wanted to justify what i meant. i was using that as an example like .. 'who the fuck cares'. people smoke ... woopdeefuckingdoo... anonymous people aren't going to change her habits. people go to rumi's blog for FASHION/STYLE related shit not to see what her private life consists of.
great job w/the costume! i told you anouck would have nothing on you. ;)
Motorcycle Chris is so...hot. Call me! >.<
Tart
very nice. i was going to do the same, but ended up not in the end even after spending so much time making the headpiece. i think neverending story was pretty big in the US when we were kids! all my friends know what it is :)
Dude these comments seriously put a pain in my side from laughing. The shit people say, so good.
Happy Halloween girl. Oh and btw dope headband.
makeup: convincing
headpiece: perfection
your pout is even reminiscent of the empress's perma-pout.
The Neverending Story was most definitely HUGE in the states although a little known fact is that it was actually filmed in Vancouver BC. Yyyyup.
Perhaps it would have been slightly more instantly recognizable if your hair was more aggressively slicked back.
how is she low class trash? her costume was amazing! don't be j because your halloween wasn't as glamorous. it's not her fault you spent it sitting on your sorry ass watching reruns on mtv. or what, did you go out as a ninja again? sorry!
i'm livid!
you have an awesome body, and a fairly normal/average face. You shouldn't smoke because you haven't got much going for you! YOUR NOT ERIN WASSON!!!!!!!!!!!
Hands up who has never smoked whilst drunk?!?! I think most of us have..Get over it...
Anyway, your halloween outfit is really pretty, it doesn't look too costumy which is good.
I had a sinking suspicion that you were a smoker trying very hard to hide it. And there it is, I totally called that one! I'm not hating, I indulge in a cig or two when drinking and only then(tho i've quit due to ear infections and the obvious cancer causing agents) but it's like.. why did you bother hiding it and finally post a picture of you smoking? I'm curious is all.. and obviously lots of your readers are turned off by it and caught by surprise which probably accounts for a lot of the negative comments.
Bloody hell, people. What is with the viciousness? Grow a pair of balls and suck up the jealousy. Tall poppy syndrome much???? Easy to criticise people but imagine yourself in the same boat....oh wait, never mind :P
Rumi, you look absolutely stunning, and all the outfits rock!
yeah you just look fucking digusting and dirty in the last pic. i thought you were my idol, but i guess not anymore. this is gross
Wow people need to stop hating.
You are Beautiful no matter what you are doing.
Your Blog is amazing and inspiring.
You are dedicating your page to show the world your unique sense of style, something you are passionate about and love.
Thats what this world is supposed to be all about.
Keep being REAL fashionista you are a hott piece!
Oh well never mind the stupid comments, it's your choice and your blog. Even if I wasn't a smoker myself I'd never critise someone for doing so. That said, I love your costume so much and your make up is awesome, you created that glow perfectly! I'm curious too how you made that headpiece, it's lovely!
Take care and don't let the negative comments annoy you...
Nesli
i'm glad you left the picture up. enough said.
I freaking LOVE that fur! Sigh!
Awesome costume! Awesome makeup!
Jeesuz people, you're acting as if she stabbed a kitten in that picture!! Grow the fuck up and let Rumi express herself- it's HER blog!
*blows puff of Camel 9 smoke in anonymous' face*
Crystal
oh my gosh, rumi smokes? shoot, must run to the corner store now and grab a pack of cigs too! STAT! she is my role model after all and im a mindless nitwit who will do everything she does, NO.MATTER.WHAT.
/end sarcasm
*rolls eyes* seriously, people.
anyway, fantastic headpiece and Halloween costume. very unexpected and a welcome deviation to the usual, humdrum school girl/slutty nurse/*insert frederick's of hollywood unoriginal costume here*
you look so pretty in that outfit!
you look so pretty : )
Oh my god you went as the childlike empress, I think I'm in love.
even if it was cigarette smoke (which it clearly isn't), who cares? it isn't rumi's job to educate your children. i think rumi looks stunning all the time and the amount of people who read this blog is a testament to that :)
i think good for you if you want to smoke, your choice totally but i have to agree with the try-hard ERIN WASSON comment....
Rumi you look stunning in that fabulous costume. I love the dress and headpiece - so great!
1st pic is SO beautiful!! And the motorcycle crash costumes is insane! Love it!
i'm from australia and pretty much grew up watching the never ending story! the make up looks really good :)
You are so beautiful!!!!!!!!
Hi, I found your blog through a friend, I love your style. Just had to leave a note saying that I knew you were the Child Like Empress as soon as I saw the first picture. One of my all time favorite movies. I will be using the name Bastian somewhere when I have kids.
I loved your fur shall, capelet thing. Soo cute! Also love the head piece you're wearing. soo cute!
pss the makeup on your boyfriend is sooo amazing
I love this. you remind me of the girl in the Neverending Story. very ethereal in a zombie kind of way.
oh, just read the post. That's because you meant to look like the Childlike Empress. got it.
That's really weird to me that people don't really know about the neverending story. I used to be obsessssssed with it when I was teensy.
That motorcycle guy is really hot!
great costume! the never-ending story is awesome!!
BTW if that's how hot the average motorcycle victim is, then I am DEFINITELY becoming a doctor ;)
happy belated halloween xox
motorcycle victim in picture four is seriously sending me into cardiac arrest
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
You're still a tranny, wether you want to post this or not! Nothing to be ashamed about, but apparently you are.
Neverending Story not big in US= a lie. I was all about that shit.
Britney Spears looks like Valcor. I swear.
Saladfingers... wish I could have seen that costume.
you look beeeeaaauuutttiiiiffffuullll
girl crush!
chris look a like robbie williams.
who makes ur dress and where'd u get it from?? i loveeee it n ur rely pretty! :)
i was wondering the look was familiar..child like empress! nicely done :) watched the fil a dozen times.
whoever didn't know that was just hookah smoke are fucktards. not to mention i hate them and hope they burn in the pits of hell for not only having pathetic meaningless lives and thinking that they seriously know you enough to give you a lecture on smoking when they couldn't even tell it wasn't a goddamn cigarette, but because they are uptight morons that judge everything you do. go to hell you bastards. GO TO HELL. the end.
Really trustworthy blog thanks.
