Soon as I’m done draining the blood out of my tub and wiping REDRUM off my mirror I’ll post more party deets. For now I feel like I need a Hazmat suit to walk around my apartment.

Yeah yeah I know today is Halloween, but according to every department store it’s time to start thinking about the holiday season or Christmahanakwanzika. I mean it is 2 months away right around the corner. Better start stocking up now on mistletoe and reindeer lawn ornaments!
Whew, sorry for the dripping sarcasm, I am just pooped from planning this party. I think we just bought out Costco. Love them for party food and drinks! Okay, time to go GaGa.
So in order to have plenty of time to get ready tomorrow, I started decorating today. I’ve covered all the furniture in sheets and cob webs and spiders. I hope no one has arachnophobia because they’re EVERYWHERE. I got a bag full of these black little spiders and went to town. I also finished my specimen jars and put them in the kitchen. They came out pretty good I think even though you can’t really tell in the photo. I set up one of the drink stations too with my $8 Goodwill punch bowl. Love it!! Check it out. Oh and sorry about the photos. My camera is broken so I have no idea what photos I’m taking until I see them on the computer.

Apparently these guys have waaay too much time, and money, on their hands. They have built not one, but 2 giant iPhones from 42 inch LCD TVs powered by a car battery. Each costume weighs about 85lbs and cost roughly $2000 to make. It’s definitely smart. There’s no way I could’ve done this. As for originality, enh, iPhone was sooo 2 years ago. Haha. Still, if I saw these guys in a bar I’d totally run up to them and play with their iPhones. Wow that sounded dirty. But seriously, I doubt they’re going to score any dates waddling around with an 85lb television attached to them and a battery dangling between their legs. If they get anything, it’ll be a mugging.
PS: Imagine this thing yelling “PENIS” at you Karen.

So I’ve gone a little psycho planning this Halloween party in case you hadn’t noticed. It’s the unemployed perfectionist in me I guess. Tons of time, not tons of money. I have to be careful about spending too much so I decided to do another homemade project – specimen jars. I already have a weird obsession with jars, so getting to use them for something other than storing food is exciting for me. I don’t know where I got this idea, probably Martha Stewart, but I found this website that had some really good examples of how to make the perfect fake specimen jar. I’m not sure what I’m going to use yet inside the jars, probably some sort of food. I think I’ll wait to see how they turn out though before I write up the labels. I am excited about naming them! “Liver of Uninvitedas Guesticus.”
So I went a little hog wild at the Halloween store yesterday and bought quite a few blacklight bulbs. It’s a good thing because they’re not as bright as I hoping for. But that’s okay, there will be spooky candle light too. I’m going to drape a lot of the furniture in white sheets and/or tablecloths. My vision is this:
Instead, it’ll probably look like some psycho’s basement with a few pumpkins scattered around. At least that’s creepy too.

Alright, we all know the “clever” wordplay costumes like One Nightstand, Black-eyed P or The Color Purple, but for those of you who prefer to be even more inventive we’ve come up with a few ideas.
1. COCK BLOCK – defined as: One who prevents another from scoring sexually. Used in a sentence: “At the club, Sal was was about to get Lisa’s phone number, when Nathan came up cock-blocked him by asking him if he found a job yet.”
We took a more metaphorical approach. Carry this shield around with you all night with a rooster on it and cut in front of your friends while they’re trying to meet someone. They’ll love it!
2. MAN EATER – defined as: A beautiful woman that leads men on and then tosses them to the curb. Used in a sentence: “Damn I was so in love with her, but she turned out to just be a man eating bitch.”
We’re thinking you could wear a bib with Ken doll parts attached to it and either carry some utensils with fake blood and smear a little around your mouth. Don’t blame us though if you can’t get a date.
3. HOT MESS – defined as: When one’s appearance is in a state of disarray. Used in a sentence: “Yo, are your eyes broke, or what? She looked a hot mess when I saw her.”
We were thinking you definitely should look like you’re doing The Walk of Shame with your hair all wild and your makeup smeared, but also consider adding a hot element like fake burn marks, a fireman’s hat, a fan to waft at yourself, or some sort of awesome flame attire:
Like this! but even more hot messy.

Ladies and gentlemen, (or maybe just ladies and the 2 guys that actually read our blog), my Halloween costume problem is solved! Over the past few days, there have been several instances of people telling me that I look like a certain celebrity. Now, they were all different people in completely different situations and settings, and yet they all still had the same opinion about my likeness to this celebrity. I was getting a little freaked out, and really wasn’t seeing it at all. I asked Jeff about it, and he was no help because he didn’t even know what celebrity I was talking about, typical. So, I asked my co-workers and they totally agreed! So, I got down to researching. Do I really look like her? Are they serious? I know that in the blog-o-sphere, bloggers usually don’t reveal what they look like, but in this case, I’m breaking the rules, because I want your opinion!
My apparent celebrity look-alike is a TV personality who some people like and a lot of people don’t, haha. Oh well. Without further ado, my supposed celebrity look-alike…..
Wait for it………..
ELISABETH HASSELBECK!
So, what do you think? Part of me kind of sees it and then another part of me is like, ummmm what? But I mean hey, she’s hot, if people want to say that I look like her, I’ll graciously take the compliment. So I’m thinking that I should go as her for Halloween and making Jeffers go as Tim, her balding ex-pro football hubby. Fat chance of that happening, but we’ll see. I’m going to have to go out and get a blonde wig, and maybe some Mickey Mouse ears, (she’s a huge spokesperson for Disney World). I’m thinking about maybe going as a pregnant Elisabeth Hasselbeck because I feel like she pops out more children than the Duggar family. Every time I tune in to The View (all 2 times a year that I watch it), she’s always preggers. Maybe I should make a t-shirt saying, “Suck it, Rosie!” or “I Heart G. W. Bush!” Or I could go as “Military Elisabeth” since she’s such an outspoken supporter of the troops.
Hmmmmm, decisions, decisions. Well, if this doesn’t work out, I could always dress up as Martha and make Jeff go as my sleezy inside trading banker 
A: Oh sweet Jesus you do look like her! I’ll never be able to look at you the same way again!! I’ll try to push it out of my head though b/c I cannot stand her. It’s a great Halloween costume though and you should totally try to find (or make) one of these T-shirts and wear it:
I was told I look like the Bone’s girl, Emily Deschanel. What think?

OK I didn’t get these photos from Flickr. They’re from the photographer Rodney Smith’s website. He has so many amazing and whimsical photos. I just chose a few that were Halloween related, but you will definitely see more of his work on this blog in later posts.
