We all said hallelujah!

We don't want answers anyway.

I've been busy, so you get Halloween pics in January. Great friends and a great band made this the best Halloween I've had since about age eight. Also, the best costume I've had since my aunt used to make them from pictures I drew.

I made eight million costumes for this Halloween, to match the amount of parties. Funnnn.

Inspired by my new favorite movie "Les Enfants du Paradis" (thanks, Ross), I was un clown. You can't see the hat in this photo. No matter. It makes another appearance later. The bottom of the big white smock hit high on my thigh. Black thigh-high socks. Teal Mary Jane heels. It was good for dancing. That's Aly in the Tinkerbell costume. Paired with Aaronvb's Peter Pan, my cute-o-meter was off the charts. I wish I had a picture of Zoe, Lauren, and this other girl, who were earth, wind, and fire, respectively. Oh man. Off the charts.

Halloween part deux featured Matt in a bread hat. In the bathroom at Asterisk, we made the hat out of real French bread from the market, twine, and sheer engineering. Other partygoers were taking bites off of his head all night. But Matt wasn't, because gluten makes him unhappy. Which makes this costume even funnier. And more awkward.

Here's my little clown hat, repurposed for Ross' sad harlequin-y get-up. I did his makeup. While that guy has no eyeliner tolerance, fortunately, he has lots of patience. You can't see them in this photo, but there are really long fake eyelashes on him, too.

My surrealist peacock costume was Nadia's favorite, as you can see. Three peacock feathers in a French twist, with giant flowers in the back from Catwings Couture. Thanks, Chelle. The royal blue sequin cardigan was borrowed from Aja. The fishnets were inspired by Rachelle. You could say this was a Cherry Blossom Cabaret dedication costume. The combat boots were the funny part. When I wear flat shoes, I feel like I'm walking uphill.

 

Keep your eyes on right. Keep your eyes on right ahead. Happy Halloween, boy, was it.
