no wire hangers ever!

There’s only so much you can do with makeup when you just don’t look a damn thing like the woman in the first place, but I gave it a shot.

Things I learned at this year’s Halloween party:

• False eyelashes are itchy (and come off if you laugh so hard you cry) but not having to wear mascara kind of rocks
• Skin-colored latex works great for making little patches to cover your real eyebrows
• A costume consisting of polyester clothing covered in baby powder that’s set with hairspray and a plastic wig is really quite flammable
• Doc is a fantastic sculptor
• Sure, Leslie likes mayonnaise, but not THAT much
• Ben brought some of the best salsa I’ve ever tasted
• I love olive dip
• You people didn’t eat nearly enough candy
• All the costumes this year: fantastic!! Not a lame one in the bunch. Even the “Best Costume Clearly Thrown Together At 6:30 This Evening” was quite good!
• White Elephant costume contest prize selection was a fun method
• I probably flew my Geek Flag a little too proudly when I recited the whole “Holy Hand Grenade” speech to Arthur, King of the Britons (Mark)
