A Scary Halloween Tale

Last year's white trash bash


I don’t know if you  are aware, but Halloween is my favorite holiday. I got married on Halloween and my rehearsal dinner was a costume ball, well roast. My annual “Adults Only” Halloween party is known far and wide. Relax, it’s not like we film porn or anything… we just strip. Actually we don’t, we revert straight back to college, pull out funnels and other such paraphernalia and make my beautifully themed abode feel more like a frat house. This party has much of my town hunting for the most original most perfect costume. Each couple strives to attain the coveted “Best Costume” award, which comes with a year’s supply of bragging rights.  Read on for more pics and info.

I’ve made tons of costumes over the years. I hate the one’s that come out of bags, though I have been talked into purchasing them by a desperate little princess and a 5 year old with Power Ranger envy. I’m not saying the current choices are so bad. Let’s face it, mass marketed costumes have come a long way. When I was a kid the prefab costumes came with a toxic smelling plastic cape that tied in the back like a hospital gown. And no matter who you were, you got a mask with 2 nose holes, which was held on by a stapled rubber band.

    Hi Jenny! Great post as always. For some reason I can only see the very first pic posted. Please fix. I really want to see the Swan costume! Thanks!

    Okay, let go of it already. How about your sweet sixteen party, where the favors were boxers with the saying I danced my pants off at Jenny’s Sweet Sixteen.

    Jen,
    The pics are great. Haloween is the scariest and “funnest” holiday of them all. Nothing like stimulating a little creativity for an awesome party. I can’t wait to see the photos from 2010.

    I am glad to know that I am not the only adult in the world that loves Halloween more than Christmas (as some acquaintances tried to make me feel this year). Some adults just don’t know how to have fun! Oh well, a few years and they’ll catch my fever.

    Byyyyy the way, I once worked at a Hooters. Yes, it’s true. Painful to admit, but true. I love the pregnant Hooters girl in the first picture. The unfortunate and hilarious part of it is that I worked with no less than 3 pregnant Hooters girls at any given time. Let’s see if I can count them… 6 maybe? And we are talking about full term pregnant. Almost had their babies AT Hooters because they refused to stop working close to their delivery dates. Needless to say, I didn’t stay there for long as I could see that it was sort of a life choice for some. I may plan to be a somewhat liberal mama but I don’t know if I want to go THAT far.

    Well, AB. I won’t tell about the Hooters thing if you don’t… oops too late. At least you got out, those little orange shorts with the hose are somewhat addictive, especially when you see how good your legs look in them.
