happy halloween!

Well, there isn't a whole lot to report on besides Hurricane Sandy (and I'm sure you've heard enough of that) and the Halloween party that I attended Saturday evening.

Go back about a month or so...Daniel and I were invited to his friend Travis' annual family and friends Halloween party. Truth be told: I was never invited to a costume party before (except last year when a mega snowstorm hit the East Coast right over Halloween weekend) and I was BEYOND excited. After all, it's not every day you get to wear outlandish makeup and outfits!

So Daniel and I journeyed to our local Halloween party store in search of costumes. He of course found the perfect costume to suit his personality right away- a muscle man (he is the most devoted gym-goer I've ever known). So, I thought finding a costume would be easy. Was I ever wrong! Costumes that appealed to me were either too tight, too big, too short, not flattering. I tried on costume after costume (I'm pretty sure that the dressing room attendant was not too thrilled by my repeated presence) and nothing. I finally skimmed over the bottom row, frustrated beyond belief, and I saw it. I thought it would be a fun costume to wear, and she is one of my favorite artists and celebrities to keep up on. After a successful fitting (finally) I grabbed the needed accessories and was prepared for the party. I was so excited to dress up as LADY GAGA!

Getting ready was a much easier experience than finding the costume, and I'd have to say it turned out pretty well!




Check out those eyelashes...you don't get to wear those everyday!

The party was a blast- tons of snacks and goodies, a bonfire, fun conversation, and even a hayride! And everyone (well almost) knew who I was portraying. What a great night:)

Happy Halloween to all- and be safe in this stormy weather!
