Halloween
2000
For me Halloween has historically been more of a day to be an observer
rather than a participant.
That is not to say I don't dress up, but my empathizes is more
on the enjoyment of other peoples
creativity than my own. It's also a great time of year to steal great
costume ideas.
This year Kirk re-introduced his annual Halloween party "Gourdgeous"
. Held in a warehouse in
Culver city with music from Derrick Star, KC, Brett , Brad and Keith.
This saw the
debut of some of the best b-sides costumes of the year.
Me and my monkey are caught in the act mid costume change.

Jonathan and Dawn were a lovely treat for me
as they were visiting from San Francisco.
Jonathan is a rather strange Englishman who enjoys cross dressing!
There should be laws against this sort of thing!
West Hollywood Halloween Parade
300,000 people descended on West Hollywood for the annual Halloween
Carnival
to walk, gawk, dance and be fabulous and gay.
I had a really fun time. Went down with Corrie who was dressed in a
resplendent renaissance frock.
We arrived later in the evening and avoided the torture of the hoards
of people, met plenty of friends.
Took an obscene quantity of photos and ended the night at 3am drinking
oversized apple martinis
to celebrate Ann's birthday with Michelle and David.
On one of the coldest nights of the year I was nice and toasty in my
fur costume, some people made the sacrifice to look really good.
God's Gift!

Mr. T from Burning man made a surprise appearance
I, for some unexplainable reason have had a soft spot for girls
in pretty ball gowns covered in a good
splattering of blood. Over the years at various halloween events
this costume has always caught my eye.
Where the attraction lies I don't know, it could be the contrast in
colours, the romantic appeal of a lacy prom dress,
tiara and the bucket of crimson blood. Anyway, I have collected
a nice selection of Carrie photos which can be viewed by going
here.
