The Easiest Halloween Costume Ever!
Halloween is a week away and I’ve been far too busy these past few weeks to come up with a costume. I keep thinking it will be hard to top last year when I dressed as a moose in a bulletproof vest, trying to avoid all of the Sarah Palins with guns! I got shot twelve times that night:
West Hollywood always has a huge Halloween carnival where they close off Santa Monica Blvd. and host hundreds of thousands of costumed revelers. It’s just at the bottom of my street and I’ve never gone without a costume. Then laying in bed last night, I had an epiphany. I thought of the easiest, cheapest, most low maintenance costume possible. All I need to do is: - Wear a cream colored shirt
- Carry a clear Tupperware container
- Get a silver foil balloon
- Maybe pop some Jiffy Pop popcorn
- Walk up to every cute Asian “boy” (mind you, they will all be of age) on Santa Monica Blvd and ask him to take a picture with me while fake puking into my Tupperware container and holding the balloon. After all, I’ve never had a problem taking pictures with cute Asian boys:
I wonder how many “Balloon Boys” I’ll see on Santa Monica Blvd. this year? I bet there will be a lot of Susan Boyle drag queens too. LOLSo there you have it. The easiest costume in history. I’ll be the Balloon Boy’s father, Richard Heene. I guess I’ll have to shave the goatee. Oh well, I’m tired of people telling me it’s gray, a fact I’m quite aware of. Even if people think my costume is lame, it will be a great way to meet new friends and add to the collage below! LOL.

There’s quite a few Xangans on here…recognize any?Maybe I’ll even put these 3 videos on an iPod and have that playing. I call this the Balloon Boy Trifecta. Watch all three! Warning, the songs are quite catchy!Speaking of cute kids, I went to see “Where the Wild Things Are” tonight, on Jech’s recommendation and I loved it! The book was always a favorite of mine as a kid, and I feared they might ruin it, but it was just delightful. Here are a few photos from the theater and one of me and Aunty LuLu last night for Thursday Spaghetti.

I snapped this while driving…not as bad as this dumb broad, but I hope she burns her calves!

@fickleboy - Yep, I think ours is much better than the Castro’s now. You should book a room at the HC! :)
Oooo carnival? Next year, I’ll have to come down a few days prio and stay through Halloween. I love All Hallows’ Eve celebrations, but the Castro has been such a let down the past few years that I just end up passing out candy to the kids. I’ll obviously have to keep my hands near my sides to avoid brown eel attacks
P.S. You just gotta claim the facial hair. Look at George Clooney! He wears his around as if to say “I am an attractive, successful, mature male. My beard OWNS you and -I- OWN my BEARD” ~Rawr haha
just make sure some cute asian boi doesn’t pop your balloon! as i said on facebook, i hope you had more than just the two of you to feed with that bowl of sgetti! peace, Al
What?! you saw sarah palins? What is she like in person? xDD some of the asian guys are cute. hahaha
Nothing indeed can top your last years costume!
I really like that moose costume idea! That’s a lot of Sarah Palins.
P.S. When you click on the link to enlarge the pictures, it takes me to a very small version instead of a large one haha.
i want pics from this year too. balloon boy! that’s going to be great!
I don’t know who looks hotter : the barechested guy snuggling up to you or the your orgasmic look after being ‘shot’ a dozen times.
@pukemeister - My other cousins were there.
@Got_Takoyaki - Some of them were pretty darn evil in person…just like the real thing!
@Dezinerdreams - What are you dressing as Vivek?
@Roadlesstaken - Well that sucks! I wonder if it has to do with monitor resolution. I put hyperlinked them to the “max” version in Xanga. On my computer, if you click the photo once it opens in 800×600 and if you click that, it opens super huge, where you have to scroll to see it. Anyway, these are the links, let me know if they work for you this way. If not, I’ll do it another way. Thanks Alex!

@free2chuze - LOL…that many drag Sarah Palins was more scary than orgasmic!
@CareyGLY - haha, the very first picture that I saw when I clicked on the Asian collage was the guy with his cock out.
@Roadlesstaken - Hopefully everyone know that’s a Halloween costume and is fake!!!
@CareyGLY - I kinda guessed that when I noticed it was black haha
@CareyGLY - Lord, I saw more than my fair share of that during pride/street fair events up here. ‘cept you know, they wanted you to THINK they were just rocking costumes to cop a feel =P
@fickleboy - He got his fair share of “feels” that night if I recall! :)
Lol I always wondered how girls rode on the back of a motorcycle without pants.
Ouch.

@straw_hut - LOL, typical dumb Hollywood wombat!
