I was pretty sure Halloween 2009 was going to suck massively due to things I’ve been dealing with in my personal life but it ended up being a magical night of family bonding, cross-dressing, half-naked men and about 1,265,098 Lady Gaga get ups. 2 days before Halloween my cousin Pete was over the house plotting some future CAVATA moves and invited us to the Florian Hall. We had no idea what to expect but some people really went all out on their costumes. My brother and I planned our outfits extreeeemely last minute but they ended up being pretty awesome. We were Anthony and Delilah from Dead Presidents. Basically we dressed in black with leather coats, spray painted toy hand guns and shot guns and painted our faces like this…
I felt like a real bank robber for a second. As we walked to Pete’s house to meet up a group of little kids, probably no more than 5 or 6, passed us and said “Oooh they’re scary!” Mission accomplished.
I will say that the Needham’s had the best costumes of the night. Pete dressed up as Bruno (Vaasssappp?) and when I say he went all out, he went all out.
His sister, Jessie, and her fiance, Ryan, went to the party as Marv and Harry from Home Alone. I will admit, I didn’t know how they were going to pull it off but it was hilarious!
There were so many funny and well-made costumes that I was laughing the whole night. One overweight guy slapped on a wig and glasses and went as Peter Griffin (use what ya mama gave ya!) One thing I definitely noticed was the guys were showing more skin than the girls! Pete went as Bruno in booty shorts and a mesh top but this guy went back to 2006 and did the Borat swim suit. Awkward? Yes.
Purple Rain!
Besides my brother spending half the night in the bathroom and me almost walking in on some dude at the urinal the night was magnificent. Hope everyone else had a happy and safe Halloween!
