Halloween
The Costumes!
Halloween is not complete without the costumes! I love it when people dress up for Halloween. It’s kind of like “toss your inhibitions and dress up like a fantasy of yours”. When little, the goal is to go out and trick-or-treat. Older people go to Halloween parties. And thus in Potomac Hall, many of the residents did just that, and went out to Halloween parties dressed up as whatever have you.
Please note, though, that for some reason or other, the costumes are a bit racier than previous years. A lot of people cross-dressed this year, and we had a number of dominatrixes, and a lot of Catholic School girls. I was surprised, but it was kinda cool, too, don’t you know…
Beth from down the hall dressed up as everyone’s favorite person in Potomac… me!
One of the gentlemen from the fourth floor decided to shed ALL his inhibitions and go as a woman. This was his first attempt at some breasts, using balled-up socks. Not realistic enough to the satisfaction of the men as well as the women, both of which were critiquing his “breasts” for realisticness.
So he tried balloons next, which actually worked for his purposes. Nice and evenly shaped.
Callie went as one of Santa’s elves – how festive!
The first in a long line of a series of dominatrixes, this one on the freshman side…
You may recognize the Spartan Cheerleaders theme from Saturday Night Live…
Cowgirls are another favorite, with these two girls complete with rope strung through a belt-loop.
And who can forget the movie and short-lived TV show Clueless? Here’s one of the characters…
Jen went as part of a trio, she as the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz.
Later, Jen could be found helping out her roommate, going as the Tin Man.
And finally, everyone’s ready, joined by our friend the Cowardly Lion.
Sean (left) and Keith decided to switch wardrobes for Halloween. Sean wore Keith’s “preppy bastard” clothes, and Keith wore Sean’s typical boxers, t-shirt, and bathrobe combination. All Keith was missing was the coffee pot that Sean occasionally carries around.
Compare for a sec… I think that we have a match! Keith at left on Halloween, and Sean doing the same pose on an earlier occasion.
What a festive bunch! A pumpkin, a police officer, a cowboy, and a biker.
Note: With Cassie the biker, she and the rest of us were disappointed that we couldn’t find a fake tattoo that said, “Mom” on it.
Aimee (at right) and her sister dressed up as an angel and a fallen angel.
Caitlin dressed up as a bit of a devil…
Jamie from the fourth floor dressed up as a dominatrix as well, complete with a set of handcuffs!
Jackson is dressed up as what could easily be described as “God’s Gift to Women”.
David had an interesting costume… and provided a service to the community at the same time!
Dominatrix fraternizes with masked bandit… kinda kinky, don’t you think?
And here we have our fireman (pronounced “farrr-mun”), looking for fires (pronounced “farrrs”).
Lindsay went dressed as a cat, and her friend and neighbor went dressed as the “Bacardi Bat”.
Devils! How cute…
This gentleman was dressed as a sorority sister, of the sorority Σ Α Υ Τ. Translation: S L U T. Also, his breasts were made of Styrofoam.
Megan went dressed up as a fallen-angel-slash-dominatrix. Gotta love that whip…
Katie went as a ditzy-girl, complete with a tissue box in her shirt (thus why it comes to a point), and also stripey toe-socks.
And then Raleigh went as… Raleigh. Hey, isn’t that scary enough?
Back on the freshman side, we found Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, complete with a gunshot wound to the head, posing with her scarecrow friend.
Down on my floor, Jason was completely decked out as Shredder from the Ninja Turtles.
Kathleen went decked out as a Goth, complete with black sneakers (it worked!).
Linda went dressed up in Hawaiian-wear, posing first with one Lei on, and then got two more Leis to wear when going out.
Finally, Arianna went dressed as Cruella DeVille from 101 Dalmatians.
