halloween was a long time ago

but not so long ago as 2007! these pictures were taken with my small pointandshoot digital camera that annoyingly inserts the date into the image and unfortunately is not quite up to speed regarding what year it is. of course, i’m not one to talk considering i’m talking about halloween 2008 when it’s now 7 days into 2009.

that’s me up there in the white dress with my friend marie dressed up as calaveras. we both decided on the same costumes totally independently of each other (which also happened to me in college with my roommate rebecca. we came back from separate shopping trips with cleopatra costumes. bizarre!). anyways, marie and i had different interpretations of the same costume, so i think we looked pretty fucking awesome as a pair.

here are miguel’s sister olga and her boyfriend jeremy as ghostbusters. they got the costumes because they had attended an 80s themed halloween party earlier in the week. way better than neon spandex, right?

here’s a lovely herb, bob villa (or al borland depending on whether your family watches pbs or the stations with commercials), and two lame-os who didn’t dress up.

this is dinka, the sweetest mastiff ever. she’s wearing a wifebeater that says “more qualified than sarah palin”. it’s more of a political commentary than a costume, but still better that the above lame-os.

marie and i were the only ones who managed to make the 2 mile trek to the west hollywood halloween carnival where we ran into mario (with luigi, not pictured), who looks disturbingly like an ex-boyfriend from high school. and yes, that’s a real mustache!

and here’s my favorite costume from the weho parade! bob’s big boy! it’s like he was born to play that role!

 

ok, this is a really sad blog post with some pretty bad pictures, but halloween is my favorite holiday.  also, i am planning on trying to convince miguel to wear his costume to the raggamuffins festival in long beach this year.  HA!
