Eavan and Mary's Costume Party

Here are the photos from Eavan and Mary's costume party a couple of weeks ago. I could have posted them straight away, but because I'm of the generation of point-n-click digital 'photographers' who reckon lighting can be fixed in Photoshop, I had some work to do to them first. And anyway, whenever I post un-photoshopped pictures on the internet I tend to break out into a rash and turn into a pumpkin.

As for the dressing up, I just gave into my dormant lesbian side again by tying a napkin round my neck and going as a cowboy, but some of the other costumes were significantly more ambitious. Like the pale Scottish man who lived out his dream of one day being B.A. Baracus, or the cute hostess who had decided to go as 'a building'. With pink hair. Bjarni was adorned with a bed sheet and a catalogue, thus becoming 'Argos the Greek God of Catalogue Shopping' and there were farmers and movie stars and 70's chicks just like you get at any other kind of party. My personal favourite, though, was 'Elvis and his Baby', which was confusing at first — Elvis had a baby? — until he broke into song.

Unfortunately, Marilyn Monroe and General Slut both denied me permission to post their photos on the internet, but clicky-click the link for more of the other costumes.
