I'm still recovering, but thought I'd throw up a few pictures from our weekend Halloween party!
A little calm before the storm...

| Trader Joe's choco cake mix, yum! |
Thanks to three separate shopping malls and many of your suggestions, I finally found a yellow jacket (clearance section of Macy's) and some yellow tights (Charlotte Russe)! And, by the way, colored tights are a lot of fun. I think I need more of them in my life.
Friend E, cosplaying 20th Century Boy's in the above photo, brought a bunch of silly sodas from
Rocket Fizz. Everything ranging from banana nut to bacon and in between.
 |
| Yes, even "Dear Leader" sodas. Despite the label of "terrorizing taste", it had a fantastic orange cream flavor. :P |
Other guests brought yummy salmon dip, and a new treat I've never had -
halva! Which I can only think to describe as a more cake-textured
Abba-Zabba.
 |
| Nut-topped salmon dip to the left, halva to the right. |
For dinner we made a gigantoid pot of curry, and ordered a humongously-too-large tray of chicken katsu. Add rice and some Riesling wine and we were all full of warm curry goodness.
I'm not kidding - party favors for everyone consisted of quart-sized bags of leftover chicken. It was that much.
 |
| Frog-turtle puppeh. |
Cousin T brought Hello Kitty Halloween tattoos and set up a parlor.
 |
| Everyone was required to get some kitty love. Even the manly-man-dudes. |
Left to right, top to bottom: we had a bandit and a sheriff, a
Norman Rockwell Peach Crop gal, a Cheshire cat, two psyducks, a crazy man,
20th Century Boys Friend, two pandas, two kimono gals, a frog-turtle and
Storm Shadow from GI Joe.
Fun times! I died around 3:30 AM. That's kind of embarrassing, but I'm no longer the college kid I used to be!

| sleepy pandas! |
By the way, I would definitely recommend the movie
Bad Ronald. It's very strange. Good in a bad way. Or bad in a good way? But you knew that - it's from the 70's, after all!
Hope you all have a great Halloween today! I'm hoping for lots of Trick-or-Treaters so I can hand out bags of fried chicken! ;)
Love your pictures!! It looks like such fun! I carved a mini-Totoro (the white one) into my pumpkin this weekend, but that was about it. Hoping to leave work early so as not to miss the little kiddie trick-or-treaters tonight!
ReplyDeleteOMG Sleepy pandas. Adorable. I wish Tebow was more into the Halloween theme. It would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great party! Those cupcakes with the candy corn topper are too cute :) Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a fun party!! I'm getting old too, I was so tired around 3 am.
ReplyDeletelooks and sounds like so much fun! love the pac-man ghosts. and of course i die over the shiba panda (or at least it looks like a shiba inu). 3:30, that's CRAZY!
ReplyDeleteCan I come ring your doorbell? I'd LOVE KATSU chicken instead of candy!! :D
ReplyDeleteWhere does one order a large tray of katsu chicken?
@alvina- we got it from this small cater place called happy chef in millbrae.
ReplyDelete@pug- yep, cute shiba inus!
Candy corn?? LOVING IT. That is the best Halloween candy of them all.

ReplyDeleteWOW! We so would've loved this party - chicken katsu and curry!!!!!! Also, Dave loves 20th Century Boys and would've thought your friend's costume was AMAZING. Looks like so much fun! Sorry we missed it!
