Annual Halloween Costume Party

It’s that time of year again – basking in the afterglow of our annual halloween costume party! This year was a good one (except someone broke two pairs of my earrings, including those I wore to my wedding, but that’s another story). Here’s some of the great costumes we had going around.

To complete my costume, I wore a nude bra with painted nipples, so I could “flash” people.

I got some great reaction shots by getting the camera out and then whipping it out while taking the picture. This required more coordination than I had at my disposal, but the results were still awesome.

In short, a great time was had by all. Thanks to everyone who came. I am taking any and all suggestions for themes, hostess ideas and costume themes for next year!
