Disappointed In Halloween Costumes

So, as everyone knows Halloween is my favorite holiday and this year is no exception even though our costumes were not up to par like previous years. If you remember last year we were Zombie Prom King and Queen and the year prior we were Madonna and A-Rod and the list goes on-and-on for pretty decent costumes if not great costumes. This year we must have lost our mo-jo and I really lost my Halloween game when it came to costumes. The reason for this is the first part of October was focused on our WI trip back home and then it was focused on wedding dress shopping and then I got sick, so we basically started our costume last week on Thursday. That gave us a matter of two and a half days to get creative and shop for a costume. I know I am a creative person; however, I can't even work a miracle in that short of time.

Well, we decided on Morticia and Gomez Addams from The Addams Family. I wasn't super thrilled with the idea since we did go with the dark theme last year, but Andy was completely sold on it since he was going to wear a fake mustache. Unbeknown to him, the mustache only last approximately 30 minutes before it fell off his face. We didn't even get pictures of him with the mustache still on his face. With the mustache he still didn't look like Gomez anyway, instead he looked like a 70's porn star. Without the mustache he looked more like a brunette Justin Bieber since his wig had a nice swoop to it, so of course after a few drinks I started saying "I have Bieber Fever." HA HA! I felt I looked a bit more like a witch than Morticia herself. So, I am slightly disappointed in our Halloween costumes this year, but hey, we can't always have a winning costume...or can we??? Bahahahah! Next year we are starting much earlier with the Halloween costume so we don't get "stuck" with crap, but we only have ourselves to blame. Here are photos.






So, for Halloween we went with our friends (the king and queen of Halloween) to the Halloween Boo Bash at the Hotel Valley Ho. We thought it would be fun to check out one of the hotel Halloween bashes, especially since it was a nominal fee of $35 to get in. We got there early to avoid a long line to get in and we were glad we did that because not soon after we got there it was a gigantic line. Once inside we were able to check out all the neat and creative (plus skanky) costumes that people were wearing. There were definitely some neat ones, but Scottsdale is not like Madison were you can see some pretty neat and creative costumes; instead it's more of a contest to see who can be more slutty. That's ok though, because it was still entertaining to see boobs and ass hanging out everywhere. It was a fun night and we are glad we finally checked out one of the hotel parties, but next year if the Smith's don't have a party at their house we will be heading to a bar to partake in the Halloween festivities. Andy is not into dancing, and we really are not club people anymore so the hotel party really was not us. I must admit that since I was unable to get out of bed until 3pm the following day, it was a successful Halloween! I also have to give kudos to our friend AJ for picking us up at the Ho and providing us with a safe ride home.

Good times this year, but next year it's either the Smith's awesome house party (if they have it) or onto a bar!
