Rockin' the Costumes!


I'm sure I'll be reading about and seeing pictures of everyone's Halloween festivities. I promised I would share mine. My husband and I dressed as rockers from different eras for the party we hosted at our house. There were two other rockers at the party as well. I made a pumpkin pie for the first time, which turned out to be delicious. I also prepared other snacks for the party and Nick stirred up some Waboritas for guests willing to let him put their life in his hands. We also watched a little bit of Slither (but apparently guests didn't find it to be as funny as Nick and I do), The Faculty, Jason X, My Bloody Valentine, and Big Trouble in Little China.

Here is Nick's 60's psychedelic rocker costume, with inspiration from the Doors' organist:

Some people thought he was a 70's porn star though...

Here is my late 70's/early 80's rocker costume, which might remind you of the ladies from Heart or Joan Jett:

I only felt slightly ridiculous in faux snake skin pants and alligator skin heels. 

Here are some pictures from around the living room:



Hope you enjoy the pictures! And I can't wait to see all of yours. On a side note, Nick made a special horror post for Halloween at the The Action Effect, entitled "The Hard Asses of Horror." It's a hilarious read and some of the choices might surprise you. I definitely want a part 2 to this list.

  9. Cool outfits. Nick totally looks like a pron star and you totally look like you're ready to kick some ass. And I love the way you decorated your pad too...wait that sounded very feminine of me.
