Birthday Bash, Erin Style
I’m going to start off by saying I have the best friends EVER!!! When I so boldly asked them to humor me and dress up in costumes for my esteemed party, I have to admit to being skeptical as to whether most of them would. Now I knew some of them would, but I had my doubts about others. Almost every single person dressed up. And they were fabulous.
So, without further ado, I’d like to introduce you to a few people (if you can’t read the speech bubbles click on the pictures and no racial slurs intended about gangstas, Hutterites or pirates)…
My husband…
I know…no words are necessary. Hot.
A couple of Hutterites showed up. Animals, both of them. For those of you who need interpretation “Papsi and Ravels” is Pepsi and Revels in Hutterite speak and it’s a big joke around here…don’t know why, just is. The best part were her nude colored stockings with socks and sandals. If only you could have seen it…
Oh wait, you CAN…
I didn’t realize I was related to a couple of gangstas. Fo shizzle! I kept doing a double take because I could hardly recognize them under all that makeup and bling : )
Of course what party is complete without a ninja, Zorro or a beautiful goddess?
A couple of cute pageant contestants showed up…Miss-Understood and Miss-Cellaneous. Very original!
The party also made me realize that Pirates have a thing for fairies…
Of course the fun got started for real when the Mexican dealer showed up. Meet my cousin, Rico Sanchez
Umm, excuse him…we don’t do that kind of thing.
He brought along his pixie as well.
Good thing the cops showed up to keep all the gangstas, pirates and dealers in line…
The lovely Louise came as a darling kitty cat…
Here’s a shot of all the girls (I’m the CSI there on the right…that’s the only picture of me that’s any good for now)
and the guys…
And better late than never, the doctor was in the house.
At one point I overheard a disturbing conversation…
Zorro and Mr. Hutterite looked very enthusiastic about the whole party
One of the fairies and the gangsta ho Sheniqua worked the corner…
All in all very interesting and very fun : ) I laughed until my face hurt. Jer declared that we need to have a costume party every year. Sounds good to me!
Oh my gosh! That was too funny and so much fun!
And for the record…I was a Slutty Pixie, not a fairy…:)

Looks like a riot! I especially loved the Hutterites. A little scary how true to form they were…

Here by way of Louise. The photos are great! Glad you had a good time!
Read your post about what to wear and how the models were skinny women. Laughed right out loud at that post. AMEN! I would choose the ghost costume everytime!
Have a nice weekend.
