ok, here we go.
today my goal is not to only eat chocolate halloween candy.
so far i’ve been sticking to the goal. but it’s not even nine a.m., thanks to the end of daylight savings time.
dang it’s going to get dark quickly tonight.
first, here’s HARD WORKING BEV, at the beginning of the evening before the crowds got here. in the purple wig is my fetching aunt sandy who was being very helpful.
me and kevin. i’m a spring chicken and he’s dweeb the bounty hunter. i included this wide shot so you could see my fetching chicken feet. the chicken hat and feet are old costumes from mom. kevin wore that roll of duct tape around his wrist all night, and i didn’t even notice till i saw the picture.
dawg the bounty hunter wears a leather strap around his arm; kevin chose a computer cord. his badge is made from a cat food can lid. and here’s the beak from mom that i wore part of the night but it hurt my nose and so i kept letting it hang down so it kind of looked like an orange goatee.
on the left is randy, but i don’t think he looks that much like barack obama. jim suggested that somebody just made the old ronald reagan mask darker. next to him is rick, who won “most historical” costume. the guy with the horns is ron; he bought the horns and the stick-on piercings at wal mart for only four bucks. next to him is david, who didn’t keep that beard on for very long at all.
that’s mic cody, in the scary mask. he’s a cute guy in real life. next to him is dad, who i think was a maniacal chef. dad won “best costume” but unfortunately he and mom snuck away before he could get his prize.
kevin park is running in the new york marathon right now! or maybe he’s already done. so i thought it really funny that he wore that huge sumo suit. he’s with tammy, who says she was “tickle me pink.”
here’s gina, troy and patrick. gina…well, if they’d stayed longer, i think gina would have won BOTH “sexiest costume” prizes. she and patrick were headed to a party at a bar, and she has a lot of guts to arrive at a bar filled with lots of drunk guys. gina was princess leia, patrick was…was he hans solo? or was he luke skywalker? troy was sarah palin, one of three of them who were finally assembled.
the hippies. jim and gloria, and john who actually was supposed to be willie nelson but people kept thinking he was an indian, and jim. i thought jim looked like a breck girl in that wig. kevin, there in the background, wasn’t a hippie, but he did have the shiny wig.
randy’s complete barack costume. on his butt was taped a sign that read “mccain and palin can kiss my ass,” or something like that. it was funny. he wore that mask for quite a while but then switched to another, less hot costume later in the evening.
mccain and palin, doug and kim mcdonald. they were especially funny because doug danced while waving his arms around like john does, and kim had perfected sarah’s annoying speech patterns.
