A Halloween extravaganza!!!

At the end of October we were discussing how to celebrate my birthday, and we decided to go for a big Halloween party instead. I went a little crazy with preparations, having elaborate decorations and no less than 13 spooky dishes. (And of course a keg.) Jeremi was away the week before for a course in Winnipeg (where he met up with my mom for supper), so I was working like a mad woman all that week getting things ready and making our costumes. And for anyone who sent money to me as a birthday present, this is where it went - into throwing a big, crazy Halloween party.

I don't have many pictures of the food or decorations unfortunately, but I think I can get a few from one of my friends. I'll try to find them for a future post. But what we do have is lots of pictures of great costumes. Here's our friend Mark dressed up as a bust on a column:

And here are a couple of sexy Halloween ladies, the one on the left being Miss Bruce County 1978, who apparently was killed in some tragic accident.
Our buddy Gerry and his girlfriend Sharon made a fine pair of vikings, though by this point in the evening Gerry had somehow managed to acquire a wig and a set of wings from someone else's fairy costume.
And here are our Argentinian friends, at their first real Halloween party, dressed as Maridona (of course) and Morticia Addams. You can see a tray of caramel apples in the background, as well as a plateful of gelatinous eyeballs.
And finally, here's our friend Chris, who we think was very brave this night and again on Halloween to walk the streets dressed as a "fairy". You can't really tell here, but in addition to the facial make-up, his whole torso was covered in glitter.
By now you may be asking, what did we dress up as? You'll have to wait for the next post to see!
