I had always wanted to be a flapper for Halloween so this year I thought ahead and ordered this gorgeous dress from Free People online to get here in time for me to add a little sequins, seams, and plumage to complete the outfit. But when it arrived on Thursday it was a big #HalloweenCostumeFail. It was not the quality I was expecting for the price I was paying, so I decided to return it as it would never double as a cocktail/club dress.
Friday afternoon I remember this disco dress that I have. Polyester Pucci print, what could be better? Add a pair of go-go boots and you got yourself one #Discohontas. Oh except that I lent the dress to a friend a year prior and when I got it back in the afternoon it was TWICE THE SIZE .
#HalloweenCostumeFail 2. Then I remembered the costume I had from last year which I bought last minute at MissBehav'N for a house party last year. Luck would have it, I have a whole new audience this year and it was (relatively - only proof above) undocumented last year so I was Mad Max Vixen Part II 2009 edition.
And so the festivities begun at my friend Mario's pad where we met and took a few quick snaps prior to heading over to the condo costume partay. I was asked to take more pictures of me on my blog so I am indulging my inner narcissist here. We quickly threw brilliantly pieced together Mario's outfit costume of Rock Star (how clever we are). Then realized that I could be a Mad Max Vixen and Rock Star Groupie as well. It took me until the next morning to realize that I was a Mad Max Vixen with Bono in 2008 and 2009 (weird).
Superhero Hostess Erika
Erika's party was a huge hit for a pre-Halloween costume party and a good time was had by all. I was totally happy to have dressed up at least one night this year. Next year will be planned much in advance (at least 6 months) where I will sew my entire costume by hand and bedazzle it myself. Here are my top picks:
Olive Oil (w/ Popeye)
Frida Kahlo (sans Diego)
Tap Dancer
Pink Lady from Grease
