So … for Hallowe’en this year I decided I wanted to go all out and really put together a costume that I would really love so I decided to go with my fave serial killer EVER — Dexter Morgan from the Jeff Lindsay book series and the Showtime TV series Dexter. As I mentioned before, David had planned on being Dr. Horrible but since his costume got pilfered, he decided to go as his fave music artist of all time — The King of Pop, Michael Jackson:
We spent a fun, long day running ALL OVER TOWN to hit up our various parties … starting the day with our friends Alyson and Alexis, then making our way out to see our friends Gillian and Tim and then ending the night at Tam and Rob’s. After the jump, check out some fun Polaroid photos of our Hallowe’en day/night …
Here are pics of our gracious party hosts:
Each party was so much fun … at Aly and Alexis’s party, David got to tell Felicia Day (who was dressed as a zombie cowboy) all about his Dr. Horrible costume that never was and we both got to play with the cutest little kangaroo ever ;) Gillian and Tim annually throw amazing Hallowe’en parties and last night was no exception … the food was delish and the wine was FREE FLOWIN’! OY! I’m paying for it today but it was so much fun. We ended the night at Tam and Rob’s (which has become a sort of home away from home for David and me lately) and partied with some amazing friends … here are some Polaroids from Tam and Rob’s party:
I LOVED the Coralines … both Emilie and Eileen did amazing jobs with their costumes … but, I have to say, I think my fave costume of the night was Genevieve‘s Aretha Franklin Hat. It’s awesome, right?? David and I are blessed to know so many great people … we had the best Hallowe’en ever because we have dear friends to spend it with. I hope all y’all’s Hallowe’ens were just as fun.
As I alluded to above, I am a bit hungover today … I had to go back to sleep after waking up this morning to keep from puking my guts out. I’m feeling better now but I’m still not at 100%. I was hoping to make it out to the The Olvera Street Merchant’s Dia de los MuertosFestival today but I’m not sure if that’s gonna happen. The pain today is SO worth all the fun we had last night. I’m so bummed that Hallowe’en is over already … but I’m already planning for next year ;)
I hope this doesn’t offend, but David is ALMOST looking more Corey Feldman in his MJ phase than the actual MJ!! I’m surprised I didn’t see more Michael Jacksons at any parties I went to..Really surprised! That Dexter costume was perfect!!
@Kendra — “I hope this doesn’t offend, but David is ALMOST looking more Corey Feldman in his MJ phase than the actual MJ” LOL!! Not offended at all … cuz you’re kinda right ;) Hahahaha!!
LMFAO! Love it. Oh, and I saw ‘Paranormal Activity’ last night and I actually laughed. I was creeped out at some parts but when *spoilers* Katie got drug out of bed I started inappropriately laughing. I thought the scene was pretty cool but unintentionally funny. The whole movie was kind of meh.
LOOVVVEEE the costumes! I saw an MJ last night with the same outfit on! No Dexter’s though… although some guy came as Mr. T.
Who are the skeleton people? And the dead santa costume? Is it from a show? I LOVE the kangaroo costumes LOL
@Chivonne — Tam and Rob were just classic scary skeletons, Caleb and Ollie were dressed as John McClane and his first victim from the 1988 film ‘Die Hard’
Just a pointer: It’s Emilie, not Emily. :)
Trent, your costume was awsome, the only dexter ive heard about :)
and David looks great! but i agree…very corey feldman lol!
treeent! Sorry but its stil bothering me why the spelling of hallowe’en with the apostrophe…is this significant? i can’t find an answer anywhere!!!
AHH the Dexter costume is great!
@ifiweretimegunn: it’s a shortening of All Hallows’ Even (meaning “eve”); the apostrophe replaces a v. The word Hallowe’en refers to the Eve of the feast of All Saints (Hallowed means Holy).
thanks so much Ell!!!!
OH. Kay, thanks (:
Trent, seriously your costume was AMAZING.
LOVE your costume, Trent- that is the absolute best ! :)
Like Chase, I went to see Paranormal Activity and, like Chase, I laughed- the entire theatre was laughing most of the time, which made it hard to be creeped out even if I could’ve been. I really don’t see what the hype is about with this film, except for that dragged-out-of-bed part- that actually did creep me out! Mostly, it just made me want to watch Blair Witch, which I’m about to do with a friend who hasn’t seen it before- so much fun!
Oh my god, how awesome that you went to Alexis And Alyson’s party! LOVED their costumes
LOL the Aretha costume is perfect!!!
My boyfriend was Dexter too! I think you pushed yours to the front with the blood shield and baby though!
LOL, I love how you went all out, holding the baby, Trent. That’s hilarious and awesome.
no one: Mom?
awww! i L.O.V.E. yr costume!! yay :D
When I saw David’s costume, my first thought was that it looked like MJ’s oldest son, Prince. Heheh. All David needed was a paler face and some pink lips! LOL!!!!!!! You guys looked great!! :)
I LOVE your costume, Trent!!!
