Our posse of friends were busy going different directions over the summer.
I had enough of the absence between us all, and called a meeting.
The memo instructed everyone to show up to my house the Saturday before Halloween to engage in a 'Dead Celebrity' costume party.
Randy came as Jesus
[sorry m.i.l]
I dipped deep into my inner soul and brought out Janis Joplin.
It's only fitting that Jesus and Janis came as a couple!
They were some of the first original hippies!!!!!
Anna Nicole Smith was one hot mess, wonderfully played by Amie.
Of course she brought her hubs, J. Howard Marshall [played by Sonja] with her to help pay for the alcohol!
I caught her trying to pinch off his oxygen tube many times throughout the eve.
Sonja and Amie surprised me by riding in on the Amtrak from Grand Junction to attend the party.
Yes, I am loved and my friends are super cool like that!
Jay looked very dapper in his suit and white JFK smile.
Lyns was so damn cute in her Jackie O pink suit and pearls.
Marilyn [real name] and Ben showed love as Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio.
Derek was a great salesman [and carpet spot remover] as OxyClean's Billy Mays.
Lisa was a sophisticated, classy Audrey Hepburn.
Jay D was Jerry Garcia because he has the perfect beard for the character, and Paula was Amy Winehouse.
Paula KILLED it with her attitude and priceless expressions!
Carrie was a beautiful basket-full of Carmen Miranda [she made the head piece] and Eric was a perfect Julia Childs ready to whip a lil somethin together.
We also had a Lucille Ball and the Croc Hunter, but I couldn't get those pics to download.
I had to PG-13 this post by purposely leaving out pictures that could be incriminating if parents, children or bosses caught sight.
Below is a small album of the evening.
You will see that we ate well, played idiotic games, laughed at inappropriate behavior and enjoyed the hell out of life that night!
Thanks friends for being so awesome and putting great effort into your kick-ass costumes!
You people rock my world :)
