I hope yours was as lovely as mine: Good food, friends, family, games and a roaring bonfire…it doesn’t get much better.
The only flaws? Jonathan managed to scare the crap out of several small children during the evening. The dude is just so BIG that he actually looked pretty damn frightening. He always took his mask off and showed them that he was just a guy underneath. Once the mask was off he was more like a Care Bear, or Balloo from The Jungle Book, than scary monster.
And?
Despite adding a petticoat, black tights and lace, this costume was still rather ho-ho-HO. Plus, when Jonathan picked me up for the third photo down, I managed to flash my panties to everyone and their dog. They will be scarred for life.
I am also sad that my friend, Bridgy, didn’t sent me home with the photos of her and I. She went as Bret Michaels and since I was already in “Ho Mode” I posed with her as a contestant on Rock of Love. (Heh.)
Next year I am trying to convince Jonathan to let me dress up as Rose and have him go as the Titanic. I’m sorry, but that would be the best frigging costume on the planet, don’t you think?

Especially if you re-enact that scene where they slide off the boat as it tilts into the water.
Excellent costumes!

You are awesome. Great costumes. ANd I don’t think you look too whorish.
As for scaring kids, my 40 lb 6 year old wrapped in strips of muslin scared a few. It’s just gonna happen.

I think it is freaking awesome that you all dress up! I want to do that with my kids. This year would have been aesome because my 6 year old was Dorothy. We totally could have been the cast of the wizard of Oz.

I would pay to see that costume.
The Donor and I have been plotting for years to go as Beth and Dog, and then I saw you’d done it, and I could never top that. *dream crush* :)
Happy Halloween, hot stuff!

How does one dress as The Titanic? Because even though I can’t get a perfect visual I’m pretty sure it would be quite awesome.

You look adorable! Not quite as adorable as my 18-month-old who was also Red Ridinghood, but you’re a close second.
I think Rose and the Titanic would be a great idea!!

Hey, I heard you on that talk radio thingy awhile back and had to come check out your site. I love the costumes. (The headings on your ads are cracking me up. I’m hoping to buy a twix too!)
