some of my fave halloween costumes

our friends used to host a halloween party every year and showing up in costume was mandatory. we would spend the whole month of october trying to out-think each other and come up with the most original ideas. then we would all show up, dressed to the nines, and dissolve into laughter at the site of each other.

i am PSYCHED that my blogging bff ASHLYNN has invited me and the rbc to her costume party this year!

we've found that if you get totally "INTO" it and dress all out, you feel way less stupid than if you try to still retain half of your coolness.

some costumes we've loved over the years:

steve & kamari as white trash babies:

yikes:

jen, kamari, steve, & chris as polygamists: (the lovely lady on the left is a feathered nest!!)

pimp and "lady of the evening": (what set this costume apart from others like it was the change belt we got for russ from the local dairy freeze--if people gave him a dollar, he'd hurry and make change.)

european sunbathers:

gene simmons and ladyfriend:
