I hope you're all doing well and had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
It's been a while, so I'll catch you up starting with Halloween.
Rewinddddddddd.
I literally had no idea what to be for Halloween this year. I walked into Party City the night before the holiday (never again) and the place was a complete frenzy. Apart of me was relieved that I wasn't the only one who procrastinated until the day before to find a costume. There was stuff thrown all over the floors. Kids were running around in masks screaming and smacking each other with plastic weapons. The employees legit looked like they wanted to kill themselves. Plus, all the costumes, of the ones that were left, either looked dumb, cheap or both.
Needless to say, I spent about 3 minutes in there and drove down the street to Michaels craft store. That place never fails me! As soon as I walked in, I was surrounded by Christmas decorations. Why stores start putting out Christmas décor before Halloween just baffles me and makes me so angry! No one is buying Christmas decorations in October so calm your tits.
However, this was the one exception I wasn't complaining, because those Christmas decorations came to my rescue and made up about 80% of my Halloween costume. There were gold decorations everywhere, so I made a split decision in that moment, as I was gazing at the wreaths and Christmas trees, to be a Greek Prince.
I grabbed a gold flower bouquet for my crown, ribbons, this weird gold material for my cuff links, gold fabric for my sash, a cotton sheet for the toga and some glue for the hot glue gun. Plus, this really cool chick that was working there helped me put it all together and it made my day when she told me that I was the most enjoyable costumer that she helped all day! I try to be fun and friendly with everyone! She was going as 'Elsa from Frozen, tattoos and all'. haha
I spent a whooping $19 and raced home to start cutting, sewing and gluing everything together. I even got my mom to help me sew part of my toga, which was really fun, because my mom and I never craft or do artsy stuff together.
The next evening (Halloween), I drove up to Delray Beach and met my friend April to get ready at her place. She went as a seductive demon and her costume turned out really cool! She had the horns in her hair with black roses and feathers, a sexy black dress and the coolest fake cat eye contacts that made the whole costume so dramatic.
We drove down to Los Olas with April's sister Vanessa, who dressed as a rainbow unicorn, and her two friends (a cat and Blane from Batman).
We hit up a bar/club called America's Backyard, had a few drinks, danced and than ran into Twisty and his blonde victim from American Horror Story!!
After about two hours we wandered down the street to people watch and check out all the costumes. The muscular, shirtless guys who all painted the Superman 'S' on their chest with matching Superman boxer briefs were among my favorites of the night, along with the dudes who were all dressed in slutty Disney princess costumes. Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures with them. Boo. Pun intended.
Ran into my sister who was a sexy nerd for the second time...
I want to hear what you guys dressed up as for Halloween so write a comment down below!
Glad you had such a great time.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm already thinking about costume ideas for next year lol
DeleteDaaamn dude
ReplyDeleteHey man, how've you been?
DeleteI'm doing alright. I'm back in Australia now, so I'll send you an email. The past few months have been hectic but I have heaps of time now :)
DeleteI'm looking forward to it :)
DeleteSounds like you had a good time! A friend of mine had been away from friends and family for about 3 months because of work, so I decided to travel out and visit him. Instead of dressing up and going out somewhere, we walked around DC during the day and then had a chill dinner...then I watched a few scary flicks on my phone before bed. Not nearly as exciting as yours, but definitely still a fun time in my book!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update!
As long as you had fun, who cares! That's awesome that you got to visit your friend that you hadn't seen for a while, I'm sure he loved that. I stayed home last year and watched scary movies so it's nice to alternate every year. Hopefully you didn't get any nightmares ;)
