So Are You All Ready to See My Halloween Costume?

Have I kept you in suspense long enough? Are you ready to see what I was for the Halloween Costume party I went to on Saturday? Well, I've decided it's time to show you, but first I will show you a few other pictures and tell you about the night.

I got to my friends house a little early so we could help each other get into our costumes. We had tons of fun getting ready and shared many, many laughs. People started arriving at the party a little after 8:00. The party itself was tons of fun. My friend Kim, really wanted there to be lots of single guys there for me. Unfortunately, there were only a few other single girls there, so there were no good date prospects there. Oh well, I had a great time anyways. Around 11:00 p.m. the party started getting a little crazy, and as the night went on it got crazier and crazier. It was a little crazier than I'm used to. The people at the party really knew how to party, and well I just don't. A little after 1:00a.m, yes I said 1:00 a.m. people started dancing. I HATE to dance. I have no rhythm, none at all. I just don't have the personality to cut loose on the dance floor. So for a while I stood back and watched everyone else dance. Oh my lord, did they dance! After a while I thought I probably looked like a stuck up snot standing in the corner. So I figured what the heck. I then started dancing like I have never danced before. It was actually lots of fun and I'm glad I finally loosened up a bit and enjoyed myself. We danced from then until about 3:30 in the morning. I danced the entire time in the sweetest shoes ever (see pic below) but man eight hours and dancing in those shoes, my feet were so sore! I had no idea that the party would go on that long. I figured I would be snug in my bed by 2:00 am at the latest. Nope! Like I said, those people could party!! I don't think I have partied like that ever! Around 3:30 a.m people started going home. At that point I thought it was too late to drive home, so I just crashed at my friends house. I was so so tired I thought I would fall asleep before my head it the pillow. It turns out that I can't sleep without my pillow, my blankie or fan. I was wide awake until 7:00 a.m. I don't think I slept for more than 20 minutes. Finally at 7:00 I decided enough was enough and I headed for my own bed.

I had a GREAT time! There was nice people, great food, good music, and lots and lots of dancing. I really enjoyed myself. A few pumpkins decorating part of the house.


I thought this napkin was cute. Just so that you all know, I only had one drink very early on in the night. I had tons of fun without the drinking.


The eye ball jello shot! No idea what the eyeball was made out of, but it felt so gross in my mouth!

Are you ready to see my costume? Any ideas? I bet none of you would have ever guessed that I was a.....

PLAYBOY BUNNY!!! I wanted to be something simple like a witch or a ghost, but my friend said that I needed to be something that had a wow factor in it. Well, she found this costume and I ended up being a Playboy Bunny! Who would have thought?! The black one piece outfit I got at Maurices, yes a real clothing store. No idea who, or where a person would actually wear this outfit to, but it was on clearance for only $7, so I grabbed it. The cuff links, bow tie, tail, and ears was a set at a craft store for $12. So for $19 I had my entire costume. I didn't think that was too bad. I already had the awesome orange heels from a purchase earlier this summer. I don't think you can see it really well in the picture, but I got the brightest, shiniest, bluest eye shadow I have ever had and gobbed that on my eyes. Then I got blue liner and did the whole cat eye liner trick. Lots of glitter mascara, lots of bronzer, and lots of violet colored lip stick with tons of gloss. Big hoop earrings and my costume was complete. I don't know but I think I ended up pulling it all off ok. Maybe the hours spent in the gym everyday are paying off.


Michael Jackson, Playboy Bunny, and Zombie. (Aka...Mark, myself and my friend Kim)


Kim and I before everyone else got there.


Another shot of me.
Two random penguins and a playboy bunny.


Another Michael Jackson, Slash, and Zombie


Red Riding Hood, Zombie, yet another Michael Jackson, and Playboy Bunny


Last but not least the awesome shoes that I wore for eight straight hours. Boy were my feet sore the next day. Wait, I'm lying, my toes are still tingling from wearing them three days later.

Hope you liked the pictures. I also hope you all took a good long look at me looking like that. I guarantee, you will NEVER see me dressed as a Playboy Bunny EVER again.

Happy Halloween!!!

You looked adorable!!! I have a costume just like that from Halloween 3 years ago--although I haven't been to a Halloween party since pre-pregnancy. ;)

I am glad you had a fun time and got your groove on! I am like that too--like, I have no rhythm, really, but people say they love dancing with me because I am so much fun. I think that's all that matters is that you have fun!

Autumn said...

WHOO-HOO!! Girl, you rocked that outfit.

Loved those shoes, too. I don't think I could even walk in those, much less dance!

Awww man, I'm so jealous! I want to go to an "adult" costume party so bad, and I wanted to be a playboy bunny too! You're so lucky! Oh, and you make a great bunny!

I saw this on FB already but I really loved your costume! It's so cute and different, unlike all the Michael Jacksons!
