Everyone has their favorite holidays. For me, Halloween just might outrank Christmas.

Some see Halloween as a pain, I look forward to it every year. I’ve liked Halloween since I was a little girl. It’s a blast to come up with a new identity, dress up, and be someone different for the night. The only difference between now and when I was a little girl is that my mom no longer approves of my costume choices.

Two years ago I was a boob-a-licious Jessica Rabbit.

Last year I was a Warrior Goddess.

This year I was the White Queen from Alice In Wonderland.

OK, so I was the sexy version of the White Queen.

Of course, what good is a sexy White Queen without a sexy Alice and a sexy Red Queen?

On night two of the Halloween festivities, the Red Queen altered her hair.

I think it's safe to say we have mastered the art of taking self portraits

Did you know the White Queen and Alice are sisters? True story.

I don't think this smile left my face the entire weekend.

Here’s hoping your Halloween was just as much fun!

Halloween

I posted last week about my first Halloween party, which for the record totally kicked ass!

On Halloween night, the girls and I, this time with Staci and her BF Cody, headed to another super fun party.

As is typical Halloween tradition, I’ll let the pictures tell the story.

Warrior Goddess, Betty Paige and the Sexy School girl

The school girl and her nerd

Oddly enough the brunettes have wigs and the blondes do not... Have I mentioned these are my favorite women?

Even warriors have a soft side (ED may kill me for posting this one)

Our attempt at a candid photo. "Hold it. Hold it."

I added a few more of the Halloween pictures to my Flickr feed as well.

So another Halloween has come and gone.

Thank god!

I’m exhausted and ready to get back to my everyday boring life where I wear the costume of a business professional and part time student. That costume seems to fit me better anyway.

Halloween

After much deliberation, Heidi and I decided to throw a combination house warming/Halloween party together. We called it a “House Haunting Party”.

Here is a little sample of the fun!

ED and I, the Warrior Duo!

Strawberry Shortcake (Karina the Russian), Marie Antoinette (Heidi) and me!

To see the rest of the pictures from our crazy Halloween debacle, visit my Flickr feed.

My liver I’m still recovering from the weekend, but I promise normal posting will resume as soon as I figure out the mystery of where my toothbrush disappeared to and distribute the contents of the party’s lost and found box.

Halloween

Halloween is right around the corner, not that you need reminding. I am sure you are totally on top of your costume situation. Me too… except I’m having a little trouble this year. You see, Halloween is what ED and I like to refer to as “National Dress Like a Slut” day. It’s incredibly hard to avoid the hooker costumes if you are a woman. It seems like every costume has a sexy twist to it. Hell they even made Olive Oyl sexy this year!

I can’t say I am necessarily opposed to “National Dress Like a Slut” day. Throughout the many years I have been a sexy milkmaid, sexy cop, sexy school girl, sexy woodland fairy, busty saloon girl and just last year I was Jessica freakin’ Rabbit!

So what is the problem this year?

ED and I decided to dress as a couple. We went down to the Dress Like a Slut head quarters, also known as the seasonal costume shop, and went down each row twice trying to agree on what to be and I finally chose a costume I liked (of course I’m not going to tell you what it is, that would spoil the fun! But let me tell you this: it’s sexy! Shocker!). I tried it on and immediately called ED in to get his opinion if it was too sexy or if he thought I could pull it off.  Eventually, after much debating, I decided “what the hey! I’m only going to be young once” and paid the goth checkout lady my grocery money and was on my merry little way.

A week went by and I decided to try it on again. This time without a bra, or pants, and HOLY FREAKING COW… my girls look like two puppies fighting! I mean which is totally cool because I now have a place to keep my lipstick, phone and bottle of beer. Who needs a purse when you have a costume that creates an unmovable cleavage storage area? Right? Right?

OK, so obviously I’m slightly exaggerating. Slightly. But there is a lot of clev going on and yes, last year there was a lot too, but last year I didn’t have to take the whole boyfriend thing into account. I want to be respectful to both of us. I want to be comfortable and I want him to not want to punch guys in the face for ogling.

I’m thinking about getting a long wig so that I can kind of wear it over the shoulders? I thought about getting some fabric, but I know it just won’t look right. I’m committed to the outfit–it’s non-refundable and ED has the matching outfit–so I just need to find a way to make it work. A way to come across as sexy-classy, not sexy-trashy.

HA! Who am I trying to kid? Classy? On National Dress Like a Slut day? I’m about as likely to accomplishing that as I am to turn back time to before I bought the outfit!

Oh well. I’ll make it work. Hopefully you’ve chosen more wisely and your costumes are not causing you any need for concern!

Halloween

Halloween this year was a blast! The details of the night are a little hazy and honestly not really important. What is important is that everyone enjoyed themselves, we were safe and nothing bad happened. We laughed, we socialized, we met a lot of interesting and best of all, we took pictures!

Here are some shots of Jessica Rabbit (me), The Russian mail order bride (Karina), and “KO” the pink boxer (Staci).



To pull off the costume I did require a little bit of….um….”assistance” in the way of gloves rolled up and tucked under my bosoms to “enhance” them. I guess that was my trick and also my treat for everyone! Ha! I kill me sometimes!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween, Out and About

I spent my Sunday afternoon helping prepare my friends house for 2008′s largest Halloween house party. To date there have been over 200 people RSVP. Fortunately the basement of the house holding the party is not finished so we were able to really get creative. I helped paint the Alice In Wonderland room, complete with stripes, polka dots and astro-turf flooring. I am getting VERY excited for this party.

So what am I going to be? As many of you have guessed from my clues, I will be Jessica Rabbit this Halloween. For those of you scratching your head like “who is
that”, she is the wife of Roger Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit and is also pictured below.


Obviously she is a cartoon so there is no way to replicate her exactly but I have all the pieces to be the human version of the redheaded temptress. In fact Friday night Karina and I even watched the Roger Rabbit movie to watch her mannerisms and study her makeup. Our favorite line (besides the blog title, of course):

Jessica: “You don’t know how hard it is to be a woman looking the way I do.”

Valiant: “You don’t know how hard it is to be a man looking at a woman looking the way you do.”

Needless to say, I will be channeling my inner diva this Halloween to get the sass and confidence needed to pull off this costume. I think next year I’m going to go as something boring, maybe a cat or a pumpkin or Sarah Pallin. This costume is turning into more work then I thought.

Halloween

I have decided on my costume for Halloween! I am actually getting pretty excited about it too. Besides feeling confident that I will be the only one wearing this costume it has given me a newly found dedication to get my butt to the gym! I know setting goals is important to keep you motivated, but I just haven’t found a worthy one until now.

After deciding what I wanted to be, it hit me that this costume is going to require my body to be in tip top super smokin hot shape. Now, Halloween is 2 weeks away…I work full time and I go to school at night. Top that off with homework and it doesn’t leave much time for the gym. Crap! Tip top super smokin hot shape might not be a possibility…think I may have to settle for “pulling it off” shape.

So are you curious what I am going to be? Well my lovelies I don’t want to give it away just yet but I will give you a few clues. Last night I bought a long red wig, opera length gloves and fake eyelashes. Obviously there is much more to the costume that I will be ordering next week. Make your guesses if you like. I will not confirm or deny if you are correct but I promise to post pictures when my costume is complete.
