| Oh boy! July is here and although
we may be melting, the calendar promises cooler months ahead for us Northern Hemisphere folk. We've had a recent
flurry of announcements regarding Halloween festivities locally
and I'm sure more are coming for the other parks abroad. Meanwhile MiceChatters send in reports from around the globe and ask the
question, "Should I use 'Urban Decay' make-up?"
