Another day, another costume....

I went slumming at the legendary Gilman in last night. Gilman in Berkeley is where bands like Green Day and Rancid started out.  Mad Sin from Germany and the Phenomenauts were playing. Plan Nine also played, but I missed them. Plan Nine is a great Misfits tribute band. Since the pics of my as a sugar skull were already up on facebook, I had to throw together another costume. Here it is:

With my friend Christine

 

The Phenomenauts...these are not Halloween costumes...they always wear those outfits

Here are some pics of Mad Sin from Germany:

 

Day Three...got another costume idea!

I was a Sugar Skull

The Verdi Club

Jessica was Minnie Pearl

Dorian was a Zombie Princess

Our host, Tanoa Stewart

The lovely Eve from Montreal graced San Francisco again!

 

E was awesome!

E's costumes was one of the best, since the Giants are in the World Series with Texas...it's funny because E grew up in Texas, but has his heart in San Francisco!

Gabby from Sewing is Hard looked so beautiful as a flapper

Lola Devlin from My High Heed Darling 

She looked adorable as Sally from Nightmare before Christmas

Lola and I both joked about how we had center parted our hair and I was informed that this is the only time I will ever see her with her hair straightened!

Aaron and  Mel from Incendiary Blonde

I did not recognize Mel until I heard her English accent!

Oran and Teresa with Eve

Oran and Teresa were inspired the television show Glee and the current plot of the pregnant cheerleader.

Morgan, Gabby's husband and I

When I first saw Morgan, I didn't recognize him and I said "There's my boyfriend!" Then he gave me a hug and said "No kisses tonight!" and I realized it was Morgan! 

Morgan had another girlfriend! My friend Veronica was also a Calavera "Sugar Skull"

I admit it, her costume was better than mine! It's ok, I expect Veronica to always be better dressed than I am!

The Hi-Rhythm Hustlers!

Raul looked great as Beetlejuice!

Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum were there!

My favorite costume of the night!

Here is another picture of Gabby and I. I just love this picture of her

 

There were so many fun costumes, I wish I'd gotten more pics of the costumes. This picture makes me think Dorian hasn't forgiven me the Dogpile in Long Beach, yet....

Now that I have a decent camera (Yay for me!) There will be more pictures posted in my blogs. Have a happy Halloween, everyone!
