Halloween 2011!

 

super fun times! If I'm in the US this time next year, I hope to do it all over again <3

parte due

So as it turns out, I don't have that many photos to share from the huge party Lagos Jump threw for Goretti & I at their beautiful home in Altadena. What a shame.

The band set up on the staircase, not pictured is Andrew, who was bangin on the bongos & groovin on the stairs above Jeff ( the bassist on the left)

All in all a super rad night. So many people that I hadn't seen in forever came out to party! The only draw back was being hungover the next day @ the Dodger game I went to with my Dad & older brother....but the Dodgers won so it didn't even matter ♥

il mio compleanno; parte una

My darling friend Goretti and I happen to share birthdays. We were both born on the 10th of July- she in 78' and I in 87' ♡ This year we decided to combine forces have 2 parties, double the births, double the fun! N'est pas? ☺

This drink was an early morning drunken concoction by Rene made up of: Svedka vodka, natural cranberry concentrate, ginger ale, fresh raspberries and lime wedges.

It was magical! Not bad for off the cuff! Not bad AT ALL...I love how the sky looks so bright- it was near dawn !

Liz, my cousin, was gracious enough to not only fly in from San Antonio, TX to grace us with her presence but went above and beyond and made us a 5 star, award winning cake!

Liz blew us all away when she busted out these 3 little miracles. Lemon curd tarts w/meringue and raspberries for anyone unfortunate enough to not adore chocolate!!!

Honestly, not to be emo or anything but this night was part one of the best weekends of my life. Amazing company, food, music, ambiance, everything. So so perfect. Truly left me smiling from ear to ear and feeling so very blessed to have such wonderful friends, family.

Stay tuned for part 2, it was the perfect sequel to the dinner party- a party in an enormous and historic house in Pasadena, filled with 100 of our closest friends, and the cherry on top of this magic sundae was residents of the house, the members of my new favorite band, Lagos Jump actually played a show!

This year's Halloween weekend was epic and super drunktastic!! Last year's was super fun and all but way more tame in comparison.
Friday's party was in Pasadena near my old stomping grounds in Altadena.

The music was perfect and I was surrounded by great friends and beautiful strangers....whom later became my new friends haha

Felissa was beyond adorable in her pumpkin outfit ♥

Rene was Father Damien Karras from The Exorcist 

Puah and Christina were the Rock of Love girls while Bryce was Bret Michaels

Johnny was Léon from The Professional and FATBOY was a bum!

 

Christian was Bear from Bear in the Big Blue House

Keely and Syd were a couple of Red Neck Bitches!

Imelda and Elyse looked babelicious as a Kitty and a Coffin Queen

 

I was a Frenchie and here I am pictured sans mon béret gris! 

Adam the referee and Spanky the pup

Elyse and Jareth the Goblin King!! (aka Puah's roomie)

Mimi the Stepford wife and Puah the rock slut

Saturday night was part house party part bar hopping. Lots of interesting costumes. 

I didn't take as many pictures of people but I did get a few of myself ;D

My costumes were thrown together at the last minute. (I am newly single so the costume ideas previously discussed were all thrown out the window)

I dressed up as Minnie Mouse 

I used a lil figurine I have as a reference, peachy tan shoes and all

Elyse was Lucy Ricardo!

I made friends with a friendly caveman and a Chilean miner but I can't find the napkin I wrote their e-mail addys on. Oh well!

Tonight was laid back. We watched Machete, From Dusk Till Dawn, and American Werewolf in London. 

Hope you all had a safe and memorable Halloween this year!
