Halloween Post, only obnoxiously late

Ok well, Halloween wasn't all to exciting for us, just a little bit of magic, a little bit of haunted house fail, and a lot of random happenstance

but dear reader what I want to talk about is the Day of the Dead, no not November 1.... but the A.C.T Day of the Dead party.
Don't know what that is? well I didn't either till a few weeks ago
So it's a party (duh) where you dress up as someone or something dead
sounds easy right? there are lots of dead people and things so...? Nope, no go... gotta be witty/cool/ not dull/whatever....
So Kim and I took about a week to think about it, we tossed out idea's from disney villans to Star Wars characters to Bambi's Mom (which as some of you know Kim's father went with it and made a truly adorable AND traumatizing head piece for).
Finally one night just as I was about to cross the border between dreams and conciousness, it came to me! my costume! I was gonna be..... a Red Shirt!
with that settled I printed out a starfleet insignia and picked up a red turtleneck, then viola! Ensign Debra reporting for duty!
but enough about that I want to talk about the costumes I saw there! because really no one does costumes and creative like theatre people

so I'm just gonna list what I remeber and Aria or Kim can come in and add/ correct

Kim was Bambi's mom as I said
Aria was dinosaur
Debra was a redshirt (but not the only one! I had a brother in arms)

hmm, what else was there
a Peter Pan with fantastic makeup
a sorority gal ( I don't know which sorority... sorry)
a "dead" kennedy (not the band but a pun on ted, I think)
a Billy Mayes complete with oxyclean shirt
a Marylin Monroe
a V
a Johnny Cash
a G-d with one heck of a beard (who everyone kept asking "are you Dumbledore?)
Kanye West's career
a Severus Snape
a flapper
a dead mother earth (and recardo the raven)
a Dr. George O'Mally complete with prescriptions
a punk Betty Page
a Natasha Richards in full ski gear
a Heath Ledger (straight from Brokeback Mountain, shirt and all)
a Robin (Jason Todd, I think... but it could have been metaphorical for Dick or Tim I suppose)
a Blues Brother John Belushi

There were a few I didn't get but we're still fun costumes
a ninja (I don't understand the dead part of this one... maybe the art of ninja? death of stealth? take off the mask and it can be death of anonymity? Did the ninja lose to a pirate? dunno... guess he just wanted to be a ninja, which is understandable because well ninjas rock)
a Yankee ( though with their recent win I don't understand)
a Pillsbury Dough boy
a Quail man (who remembers Doug! Kim and I for sure do!)

I'm gonna get some pictures up later to make this post better, but for now readers
Peace Out!
