Costume party

Tonight, Dan and I went to a "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" costume party at Jeff and Kathryn's. You could be any incarnation of Elvis or Marilyn Monroe (fat, old, young, dead, etc.)

Just to let you know, I haven't dressed up for Halloween since I was probably eight years old, so this was all a bit new to me.

I opted to go the traditional route, while Dan chose to use a Burger King mask in his interpretation of "the King."

The hosts really got into it. Kathryn had a great wig, and I really loved Jeff's sideburns (they were pieces of fur glued to his glasses).

They even had the dogs wearing Elvis costumes

There were lots of great costumes...

Terri had a great fake tattoo "shirt"

Joe was Elvis riding an ostrich and Melissa
was Marilyn as a Macaroni Grill server
