I'm sorry to see the end of October, and with it, the passing of Halloween. The sun may be setting on my 20's, but I'm still child-at-heart enough to love dressing up for the holiday. Every year my friends and I go to the Houston Museum of Natural Science's Spirits and Skeletons party, and this year was no different.
With our critical success last year with as the cast of Firefly (check our costumes out here), we knew we had to come up with something spectacular if we wanted to continue our upward momentum and outdo ourselves for 2014. And thus an idea was born.
It started out with this . . .
A few refining details . . .
The we added a little paint . . .
And voila, we were ready to go Mario Kart-ing . . .

Don't we look awesome? It was a lot of work making those karts, but we are nothing if not committed. And by god if we didn't have the best costumes at the party (which, by the way, I hear reached over 8,000 guests). We were stopped over and over again to have our pictures taken by our many admirers, and even had fellow party-goers helping us pop each other's balloons (I survived the night with one balloon still remaining).
It was a blast! Anyone else have any great costumes this year? Or go to an amazing Halloween bash perhaps?
Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome! What a clever idea. And you guys really paid attention to detail.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute and clever. And for the record, for people my age, you are still very young at the end of your twenties.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Love the costumes and so inventive. One is never too old for Halloween. I dressed up as Goo from Gumby and Pokey. We actually went to a party and it was quite fun and some older people were out at this bar. Glad you had fun
ReplyDeleteGenius! These are fantastic, especially with the balloons. :-D
