costumes + drinks + dancing = a kick ass halloween!

OMG we had SO much fun lastnight! Ali came over around 6:30 and we started putting our costumes together. I had originally planned to be a superhero version of myself: WONDER WILLOOOOO!!!!! But I slacked yesterday & didn't go buy any costume accessories (cape and/or a mask) and soon found that the clothes around my house thrown together wouldn't look any different than an average Mission hipster sighting. SO that was out & I went digging in the closet for another idea. Once I went looking for my fake eyelashes I found something else I'd bought with them: a fake mustache! perfect! And just like that, my costume came together:

My shirt says "Free Mustache Rides". Unfortunately no pretty ladies took me up on my generous offer. hahaa :) Like my homemade belt buckle? Thanks to Hez for the bandana, too, it was the finishing touch!

We met up with the crew at Doc's Clocks for a drink, and then headed over to 12 Galaxies. At first it was a little thin, but thankfully the place filled up and we all had a blast dancing. The DJ sucked a few glaring/annoying times (Misty how is it that detail wasn't in your post!? < which you should all read, she has a great summary of the night, too!) which was lame and made us all wish Ted was up there... but I was glad he was partying with us instead.

There were a ton of fun costumes! My friends were sportin some especially kick ass ones: Misty was Jem!, from Jem & the Holograms - she even had the sayings down, "Truly Outrageous!" which cracked me up & took me back! I used to watch that show all the time. Her microphone prop was the best! Ted "worked for" the Grim Reaper, Ali was an 80's superhero: Toootallyyy Aaawwesoomme! hilarious! Lyne showed up as a geeky bride who got left at the altar and (understandably) headed straight to the bar. haha! Seriously though, her dress was amazing! Jojo was a hot CHIPS-like cop, writing tickets to everyone all night. haha! Hez was a vampire and her bf, Negmeddin was Mr. T in full effect! He shaved his head for it, too, which is SO RAD!! He's a keeper, Hez.

Here's a link to the album of photos!

Costume parties make people watching extra fun. One we all admired & commented on from afar was someone dressed up as Edward Scissorhands. It was done so well! Later when a few of us piled on stage for the costume contest and I was standing next to that person, I realized it was this girl Holly I know! hah!! So funny. We saw Loquat's Anthony (dressed up as a cowboy, too!) & Kylie (little indian girl) and I was stoked when Chris & Mai showed up, too!

Overall it was a very fun halloween & I'm so stoked we all rallied & made it happen! I love my friends!!
