Spin Cycle:Halloween

I really dislike dressing up for Halloween.  I was SO happy when my kids were old enough to figure out their costume, and it was no longer my job.  My kids, though, especially my girls LOVED to dress up and go Trick or Treating!  It's no wonder my oldest has a degree in theatre and my youngest began her degree until she decided doing hair was going to be much more fun (not to mention lucrative!)


Gina, my oldest child is in a poker group.  They get together from time to time and play some serious poker.  Just about each year, in October, their poker night is also a Halloween party.  Gina and Gene always go as a pair.


One year, they dressed as Betty and Barney Rubble.  Another couple were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.

The next year, they went to the party as Where in the world....

Carmen San Diego and Where's Waldo

I don't know if there's a party this year.  


My youngest daughter, Dani got to dress up for school (she's in Cosmetology School in Western PA).  She decided to dress at Kat Von D, tattooed babe from LA Ink.  .


The first picture is Dani in costume.  The second picture is the real Kat.  The resemblance is amazing!!!

At work we're allowed to dress for Halloween too.  Thankfully, the past few years it wasn't mandatory, so I didn't participate.  I did, however, take pictures of my co-workers!  Here are just a few!

Dave, the Rock Climber (that was his real gear)

 Dijon, the um.... business man
