Halloween

[hereintheusa]

Tonight I am heading off to my first Halloween party in decades. Dressed up as Harry Potter albeit what he would look like at 44 and with a few extra pounds.

The girlfriend was going to go as a sassy Minnie Mouse but costume doesn't fit. I tried to persuade her to don a white shirt one of my ties, one of her slutty short skirts and stockings to go as a slutty hermione but she declined. She doesn't think it's appropriate for the bosses girlfriend to go full slut tonight LOL.

Obviously Halloween is huge here in the states but wondering if over the past 10 years has it really caught on in the UK? I see you now do Black Friday which seems a bit weird but oh well.

At work we used to have Halloween fancy dress costumes but fallen out of favor since then. Must admit I would feel like a bit of a twat working in fancy dress.

I don't care for all the kids trick or treating but at least they get dressed up.

Saturday night in Ventura... main street turned over to Halloween... pretty cool actually.

Couldn't give a fuck usually

With a few friends in a pub last night and some little scrote came in after 9 and started trick or treating. Not even the 31st yet.

No idea if staff caught him at it.

Yes dressing up as a speccy Adrian Mole lookalike is very disturbing indeed.

Im helping my daughter make her costume this week. The use of android and iphones or tablets have made the possibilties for great costumes even better.
My wee girl is going as a zombie and we're cutting a small hole in the pocket of an old school shirt and smearing fake blood around the edges of the cut. Shes going to slip her iphone into the pocket with a download of a realistic beating heart so that it looks like she is cut open and you can see her heart beating.

You can buy jumpers and shirts and such like online that have been altered and decorated with holes with pockets for ipads, front and back and if you put 2 ipads into the pockets and use facetime between then it looks like youve a big hole in your stomach that you can see right through.

Might get my Raoul Moat costume out of mothballs.

Lol trust me I thought of Adrian Mole as I got ready.

Experiencing my first hang over in years, just woke up and I don't lik me it. Crap load of school work to do.

big here, garden displays already up, they put more into this shit that they do christmas

in addition, the parties and dressing up....you don't even have to dress up as anything to do with halloween, just any old fancy dress, yet when called out on that, they stare blankly and have no explanation

Saturday night in Ventura

That sounds "Ace"

The rest of the year we tell our kids not to talk to strangers or accept sweets from them, but on Saturday night is is encouraged.

I got dragged to a Halloween party..first time I'd worn fancy dress since I was a kid. I wore a grim reaper type thing so my face was covered and I didn't have to bother with make-up. The wife wore a kind of clingy Vampira type dress with fishnets and heels and looked a bit like a hooker so was a good night in the end

This year it seems to have been really popular. The number of Trick or Treaters who knocked the door must have been in excess of 30. One aged about 2 years old, who clearly had no idea about what was going on with, who I think were Mummy and Daddy, all smartly dressed. Was this for the child or for the parents. The poor tot wasn't even interested in having any sweets. In the end we had to turn people away empty handed as the treats had run out.

Peace and Love
