| Star invited all her Austin
Childfree friends to her
house of ill-repute and gaming hell for our fifth Halloween costume party.
She allowed us to run wild through the house, leaving her to guess at
some of the more intriguing decorations. Star greeted everyone as "Mrs. Lovett", complete with blood stained
apron, rolling-pin and sang several songs from "Sweeney Todd" while
passing around her savory meat pies. They were quite nice, as long at
you didn't get any of the ones with a finger-nail.
Also on the buffet table were cup-cakes bitten by a vampire
(obviously craving carb's on the all-blood diet).

The center piece cake was "Wicked
Witch of the West". Click on the picture above to see how
the cake was made. |
|
Costumes included a couple of financial pirates plundering 401k's,
Typhoid Mary, Hell-Rider (he parked his bike around the side), and an
interesting take on "American Werewolf in London".
Many of the outfits this year had fine details that you had to look for
- including the Bar-code on the back of the Cylon's neck, little
Whitehouse memo's and a mechanical Werewolf that defies description. |

| Borat joins in
this great American Tradition. |
Despite evidence to the contrary - Holly insisted that she was Human and
not a Cylon. Her bar-code said different. |
And they call
it "puppy love..." |
