BOO! Part 2!
Friday night, hubby and I attended a Halloween shindig. It was hosted by a coworker of hubby's, but a lot of her friends and family were there too. It was a GREAT mix of people. My husband works with, well, a lot of geeky science types. Usually when we socialize with them outside of work, the talk ends up being geeky science talk, rife with acronyms and multi-syllabic mumbo jumbo. Having extra folks added to the geek mix was fabulous.
The costumes were mostly super. Lots of people went with the storebought deals, or rentals. The best costume was a couple who went as Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson, complete with "wardrobe malfunction." The woman had taken a front close bra and worn it over a dress, to which she had adhered a falsie. It was classic. I noticed that most couples went as coordinated people, like an angel and devil, his'n'her pirates, etc. I thought the two of us looked great, but no one could tell what we were supposed to be!
Sigh.
I kept getting called "Cyndi" all night, I suppose because folks thought I was Cyndi Lauper. Hubby kept getting called "Father," because he sort of looked like a priest. After a while, I got cheeky and said that I was a baaaad girl and was trying to tempt him, while he was trying to save my soull. Heh heh heh. If ya can't beat 'em....
Of course, did we bring our camera? Nope. Because we are, apparently, dumbasses. But, we did have a good time. There were good eats, copious amounts of beverages, and good natured fun. We decided it was time to leave when the skull shot glasses were brought out around midnight, filled with some sort of unidentifiable elixir. It might have been scotch, but we weren't gonna stick around to find out!

You look, like, FAB! Seriously, it was a great costume, and if they mistook you for Cyndi, at least they got the decade right. Now you hubby? He does sort of look like a priest. Granted, a priest with a cool fashion sense, but still a priest. I'm glad you had fun! Did you know leg warmers are back in fashion? They're ALL OVER the malls. Blah!!
