As discussed in this thread, there has been some talk about having a Londope Halloween party.
So while us Londopers are umming and ahhing about it, and so as you funny foreign-types can be involved i thought i’d start a virtual halloween party here.
If you want to take part you have to describe:
What costume you are wearing - the theme is ( rather obviously) Scary/Evil/Baddy costumes.
Which room you are hanging out in - for hyperthetical purposes this party is taking place in a reasonably big house.
What you are doing.
So to kick off,
I’m hanging out in the Kitchen. I was in the living room/lounge but someone has just whacked the volume on the stereo up and you can’t hear yourself think in there let alone chat to anyone.
Anyway, i’m standing here decked out in full Star Wars Stormtrooper Armour (sans helmet) drinking a beer and moaning to someone about how many people have turned up as Mr Smith out of The Matrix.
I’m in the living room dressed as my favorite character from The Matrix. I just cranked up the stereo to drown out some Star Wars geek in the kitchen whining about the costumes…
Back porch/yard. Kind of chilly, but the bon fire is neat.
Chatting up vanilla, angua, fizzygoodmakefeelnice, vivalostwages, Jaade, Super Gnat, Baker, and various other Doper Babes™. Having a great conversation, btw! Polycarp is telling jokes and Esprix is explaining the advantages of tape floss.
ya know, I coulda swore I typed BuckleberryFerry in my list of Doper Babes™ I’d like to chat up at a big ass way cool party at garius’ place.
What do you think Monstre will come as?
Hmmm at some point in the evening (probably around 11.00pm) the following happens:
Drunken scuffle kicks off between Me and Love4Life over absolutely nothing at all. Its a classic drunken fight in that:
i) it lasts precisely 20 seconds
ii) We both escape unharmed - hell, we’re both too sozzled to see let alone land a punch :rolleyes:
iii) A Pint glass gets smashed and at least one bottle gets knocked over.
Coldfire, dressed as a giant Tulip (he claims its a Triffid but no one believes him) breaks up the fight. And tells us to stop acting like children.
We apologise sheepishly to each other and embark on a lifelong friendship full of many wild and wicky adventures
Halloween fights are the best. Where else can you see a werewolf trying to kick the crap out of a clown (Yes, I really saw that).
Now I’m just standing in the corner, wearing my Agent Smith outfit, staring behind my sunglasses and occassionally touching my earpiece as though I’m receiving instructions, waiting for someone to arrive dressed as a french maid, slave girl, dominatrix, or carrying a bottle of Jager…it’s all good.
I’m a hooker. Fishnet stockings, huge blonde wig, tall shoes, the works. I’m at the keg getting progressively drunker as the party goes on. Then I wander around the entire house making an idiot out of myself.
Well considering how I always forget to get a costume and then just ramble up whatever I can… I show up as a vampire.
My hair is up in a slick french flip and I’ve got the dark eyeliner and dark red lipstick going. Heeled ankle boots and black pants with a white top and a calf length jacket with only a string holding it together in the front. Fangs are looking mighty real too…
I’m hanging out in the backyard keeping a healthy distance from the bonfire and chatting up with NoClueBoy while I sip my red punch…
I’m there as the Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. This is not only befitting my natural uh…largesse, but allows me to wear a beret in public- always a plus.
I’m moving around, enjoying the conversation and fine finger foods. I’ve got my eye on a special gal, who hasn’t revealed herself yet. She’s hiding in the library with her feet up, reading a rare volume of Victorian tales of wanderlust and hinterlands, while all the time looking resplendant in her 18th Century French-Canadian ensemble.
I show up, dressed as Mad Madam Mim , which suits my natural tendencies towards the squatty and somewhat (at this time anyway)tubby-like shape of my body. I grab a beer and go hang out with Obsidian Flutterby and commiserate with her about the woes of being pregnant.
I’m not too bad. grins revealing her fangs and somehow managing not to lisp (Can you tell I’ve worn them before?) Enjoying the party?
Enjoys the commiseration from MetalMaven. Heh… by the time Halloween comes around for real I’ll be to big to get into my costume! The LARP group I’m with is holding October’s on the 31st… it’s set in the dark ages and what I cobbled together has a skirt that is snug to my waist… I’ll probably not fit into it this month either. Maybe my character will dress like a guy for the last couple this year lol…
I’m dressed as the evil Ursula from The Little Mermaid. Complete with attached huge foam butt ! My costume is all glittery and purple, and I 'm toting a loooooooong cigarette holder between my blood red talons.
At the moment I’m sneaking a smoke out on the back porch, wishing Aesiron would hurry his rear end on over to the party. And where’s Homebrew with his special Halloween suds?
