Hallowe'en \/\o/\/

Last night was Optimist Prime's Hallowe'en party and BSDM ball (more on that in a bit). After much consideration, I was able to settle on a costume. Um dee hur dee gur dee gur bork bork bork. That's right, the cherub looking fellow below is der Svedish Chefen. In my right hand I holden der cakensmoosher.

The party was well attended and the costumes were great!

Optimist Prime as a banana whose spoon is too large
and his fiends (sic) C and J as Disco Pirates

C2 as a Pay Clerk circa 1970's, L as the reknowned
Super Dave Osborne and K as the Grim Sweeper

M as a Full Metal Alchemist Character, his wife S is
standing in the background. She made the costumes.
Seated are Dirty Peter and Naughty Heidi.

It was a great time, filled with a some fun people. Dani came dressed as irony, though that wasn't her intent. She was dressed as a car accident victim, and her makeup was very convincing. The irony comes because on her way to the party, she'd stopped to render assistance to a person who'd been in a car accident. Talk about awkward. The first words out of her mouth were, "really I'm in a costume". Needless to say she didn't want to be there when the paramedics showed up, which was ok as the person in the crash was unharmed though their car was upside down.

Super Dave performed tarot readings for most of the guests, partly for practice and partly for entertainment. I had a reading done for me as well, and it doesn't look like I'm going to become a famous actor anytime soon.

Super Dave also performed a stunt for the guests, where he'd drop a ball into the eighth hole of the Ottawa Golf and Hunt Club while flying on his rocket pack (MEC metal thermos and flash powder). In true Super Dave fashion, he failed to achieve lift off and the stunt went awry, but we were still treated to an impromptu fireworks demonstration as he lit off the rest of the flash powder.

Twister anybody?

There was also C4 who came as a dominatrix, complete with the riding crop. Towards the end of the evening, she gave demonstrations to the ladies at the party on how to use it with a wooden lawn chair as the test dummy. The men stayed quietly upstairs as we heard the crack of the crop, followed by tittering and giggles from the students.

Finally, it seems I won the costume contest as decided by popular vote (no, I didn't vote for myself) with Optimist Prime coming in second. Yay me! Yay Optimist! Thanks for the great party!
