Es curioso cómo desde hace unos años nos invade Halloween. El domingo en el Vips me encontre con que hasta venden calabazas para que las agujerees y tengas tu propio Jack o´Lantern (para quien no conozca la leyenda del borrachuzo Jack que pinche en el link). Reconozco que cuando tenía la calabaza en la mano me pareció una tontería comprarla pero ahora que han pasado unos días…. Mmmm, la idea no me parece tan mala.
En fin, que este fin de semana seguro que habrá mil fiestas de Halloween. Y por si las chicas aceptan mi consejo: No os disfracéis de bruja. Malo. No. Eso no se hace.
Observad la foto y luego pensad: Si podéis elegir entre ir disfrazada de cow girl o de bruja... (aunque sea el mejor disfraz de bruja del mundo, si es que es un disfraz) hacedme caso y elegid el de cow girl con mini-falda.
PS: como he visto que el enlace que he puesto no queda muy claro os dejo aquí la historia de Jack:
A stingy drunkard of an Irish blacksmith named Jack had the misfortune to run into the Devil in a pub, some say on Halloween night. Jack had too much to drink and was about to fall into the Devil's hands, but managed to trick the Devil by offering his soul in exchange for one last drink. The Devil turned himself into a sixpence to pay the bartender, but Jack quickly pocketed him in his purse. Because Jack had a silver cross in his purse, the Devil could not change himself back. Jack would not let the Devil go until he promised not to claim his soul for ten years.
The Devil agreed and ten years later Jack came across the Devil while walking on a country road. The Devil wanted to collect, but Jack, thinking quickly, said "I'll go, but before I go, will you get me an apple from that tree?" The Devil, thinking he had nothing to lose, jumped on Jack's shoulders to obtain the apple. Jack pulled out his knife and carved a cross in the trunk of the tree. This left the Devil in the air, unable to obtain Jack or his soul. Jack made him promise to never again ask for his soul. Seeing no way out, the Devil agreed. No one knows how the Devil ever managed to get back down!
When Jack finally died years later, he was not admitted to Heaven, because of his life of drinking and being tightfisted and deceitful. When he went to apply for entrance to Hell, the Devil had to turn him away because he agreed never to take Jack's soul. "But where can I go?", asked Jack. "Back where you came from!", replied the Devil. The way back was windy and dark. Jack pleaded with the Devil to at least provide him a light to find his way. The Devil, as a final gesture, threw a live coal at Jack straight from the fire of Hell. To light his way and to keep it from blowing out in the wind, Jack put it in a turnip he was eating.
Ever since, Jack has been doomed to wander in darkness with his lantern until "Judgment Day." Jack of the lantern (Jack o'Lantern) became known as the symbol of a damned soul.
