more Halloween silliness

For a photographer, I seem to be just terrible at taking snapshots. Go figure. By the looks of these photos, I also seem to be terrible at wearing hot pants. I'll remember that next Halloween.

This is the funniest picture I have ever taken.

This is Emlyn, Ken's sister's boyfriend. He is from "The Legend Of Zelda". Emlyn and Liz had a nice Halloween party that we went to first last Saturday. Liz was quite the hostess, with lots of yummy food and cute decorations. Here's the two of them.

Liz's fairy is from Zelda too, but I'm not familiar with the game, so I wouldn't really know.

This is Ken's other sister, Maddi.

Maddi is the ghost of her husband's christmas past. (1999 to be exact...) Her husband Steve wore his old uniform from when he worked at Comp usa back in '99. They met while he was working at the computer store. Maddi came in looking for some game or something er other, and Steve asked her out. I find that so sweet! See guys, just asking out strangers actually works sometimes.

Anyway, as much as I hate to post this pic of me in my costume, here we are in all of our mafia glory...

You'll notice by Ken's exprression that he is trying to look like a mobster bad ass. I think he looks like he smells something funny. He's still cute though. People kept asking him why he wasn't wearing a costume. No, he doesn't normally wear windbreaker running suits and gold pinky rings. I got that gold chain he's wearing from the thrift store. $.50! My oh so pretty necklace was also a thrift store find, for $.75. I rounded out my costume by bringing baked ziti to the party. Ken passed out fake money to people when they opened the door, or walked by. Funny stuff.

The hostess of the second party we went to was Kelli. Here is her and her boyfriend, Jat.

If you are wondering what she is dressed like, you may be able to see the white cotton cord hanging from around her neck. That's right ladies and gentlemen, my friend Kelli is a BLOODY TAMPON for halloween. I'm so proud. :) Her boyfriend was a midol tablet.

Here's Christy in her annual "dress like a guy" costume.

I don't know if these type of kids are anywhere except the south, but there are redneck rich kids around here who drive low rider trucks circa 1989 with the purple light under them, and they all wear clothes like Christy here. It's pretty dead on, right up to the upside down backward visor.

And here we have Paula. Paula "borrowed" a few things from the hospital where her mom works, including a biohazard bucket and a catheter. I'm not sure what she ended up doing with the catheter....

I'll let this shot speak for itself.

Here's Brad as a battery.

His wife Jennifer was a salt. No, I'm not kidding.

This is Blake. He looks pretty confident for a man with a dress on. Here is his wife Indira:

So there you have it. I ran out of film before I got a shot of Jennifer as the salt, and Julie, who is six months pregnant, made a little alien pop out of her belly for a costume.

I think I will go burn those awful, unflattering hot pants now.
