Halloween 2007

So we went to a Halloween party last night. James was a giant ape and I was his tarzan/cavegirl. We wanted to go cheap. Last spring James rented the Ape costume for a work function. Our friend who wore it got completely drunk and smashed bananas all over the costume. The rental place washed it 5 times before they got all the bananas out and at that point we had to buy it.


It no longer has bananas on it but due to the numerous washings it is very coarse and lost tufts of fur as James walked around. :)The party was at a bar that was connected to a hotel lobby. Some of our friends got hotel rooms so we had a place to get ready and hang out. Here is James posted in a chair drinking his beer as everyone else got ready. He was already sweating his butt off in the costume.


Zora, Paul, Gary, Erica and Richie were rock stars. Obviously Kelly and Aiden were the devil and angel. They looked really good. The horns were glued onto Pauls head....too bad we didnt have any glue-remover. Haha. Gary put on eyeliner and then looked very girly so he had to put the bandana on and stand his wig up to look less gay. :)

Here is Erica and Richie. Everyone thought Richie looked like Chris Isaac (Mind Freak) but I thought he looked more like Edward Scissor Hands. He didnt like either of those because he was supposed to be a hard-core Rocker.

This is Paul and Zora, taking pre-party pics at my house. It was so funny because we told Z she had to do something bad and punk rockish but she is a total good girl. she doesnt drink, or smoke or anything and she always trys to make it to Church on Sunday. So when I suggested doing the Devil Horn sign she refused but then agreed to flip the camera off.

Heres a shot of all the guys. Paul loved having the microphone. It was his most prized possession. And Gary only has 3 fingers on his right hand so it made it that much funnier to see the big bling ring on his nub. Lol.


And here is one of Zora, Erica and I. Most of the pics from the bar came out hazy from the dry ice so Zora played with this one's coloring and I think it looks great.


James was lovin the ape thing. He was totally in character for most of the night.... that is until he got hammered. The gloves came off first, the head soon followed. We found him asleep behind our car in the parking lot. He decided that'd be the best spot so we wouldnt leave without him. Hahaha.
And lastly here is a shot of us all, except for Kelly since she was taking the pic. I'm pretty sure that everyone had a pretty good time. Halloween is usually my least favorite holiday but after last night I guess it's not so bad.... but it still doesn't compare to christmas.
