Halloween. The epic Halloween block party in Dallas is one of my
favorite events!
I'm writing this blog to take you on a stroll down memory lane with
me, as I talk about my past costumes, and share some pictures too.
2004- I was just a baby (20), and it was my very 1st experience at the
block party. I went with my best friend, at the time, Josh. I was
Fred from Scooby Doo and he was Jesus. I had the most amazing night
EVER, I knew this was something I would never miss again.
Unfortunately, my time was unexpectedly ruined when someone broke into
my car and stole EVERYTHING. Including: my clothes for work, booze,
and CD's, etc.
2005- I was Richard Simmons. I stuffed my shorts with tube socks so
the boys all night were coming up trying to touch my package!! I had
to run away so I didn’t get busted lol.
2006- I was Jessica Simpson on the cover of Rolling Stone with the
Swiffer mop... everyone thought I was Anna Nicole pre-weight loss...
haha! That year was the most dramatic. I had a HUGE fight with my best
friend Rita... I even chased her into a stranger’s back yard throwing
my fake plastic titties and wig at her. I ended up calling 911 that
night because she would not give me my video camera back. We have
since made up and are closer than ever.
2007- I was Perez Hilton, My picture even made it onto his website.
It was a pretty fun year, we had a huge group of fun people, there was
a little drama at the end from the couples who were all fighting, but
overall this year’s bash was truly memorable.
2008- My best friend at the time, Josh, and I went as Burt and Ernie.
This was hands down the best received costume for me. Everybody wanted
our picture, which in my circle of friends means you have a great
costume!
2009- This year, I was Paula Deen, complete with a tit bib and sticks
of butter! I hired a makeup artist and everything to be sure I was
true to Ms. Deen. This was also our first year to get a hotel downtown
so we could really pAArty. Let’s just say the party was EPIC!
2010- This was my most thought out costume and I was so proud of it. I
was a BP oil spill cleanup crew; It was very relevant and current, but
not well received by the crowd. No one got my costume, even though I
knew it was great. I even had a bucket full of pelicans that had been
covered in oil. I was making a statement.
2011- This is my most elaborate costume as far as the creative process
goes. I put a poll on Facebook allowing people to fill in ideas for my
costume. The winner: A giant can of Four Loko. I made the shell out of
plastic chicken wire and paper mache, then designed and added my own
logo to the label. The costume was wrapped at AlphaGraphics. I have
also made a hat, suspenders, tights, and heels to go with it. I will
be writing a full blog on this year’s Halloween block party.
Stay tuned for the play by play on this year’s drama, costume hits and
flops, plus tons of pictures! Hope to see you this Saturday, October
29th, downtown for the block party!
