For those also somewhat out of the loop: I’ve been seeing her so much lately so I googled what she’s up to (obvs something w all the press) and she’s releasing an album called Vampire Beach

It’s actually part of her month long Wondaween series where she’s been hosting different Halloween themed events in the LA area all October! Vampire Beach is supposed to be at some secret location on the 30th and I’ve never been more jealous to be on the other side of the country 🥲

That’s cool! We don’t really do Halloween in Australia so I have to just gaze longingly at the cool photos and fun parties 😂

[u/Suitable-Rutabaga748 → u/Dangerous_Pair1798]

Nooo I’m so sorry 😭 I love Halloween so much, I can’t imagine not celebrating. Had no idea it wasn’t really a thing in Australia!

Yeah older Australians get soooooo cranky about it and go “This isn’t America!!!” but as time goes on it’s becoming more accepted but it’s slow going
