Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
Voices whisper in the trees, “Tonight is Halloween!”

Halloween is one of my favorite nights of the year. Its doesn’t matter whether I go out with friends, have a party or even stay in and just watch scary movies, it is always fun. Whiskey and I are off to a spooky party tonight, but I thought I’d post a couple of photos from last Halloween’s festivities. My friends AC and Al joined me in one of the best group costumes I’ve come up with yet – Bees and a Beekeeper!
I made Al and I cute little bee cocktail dresses with some great black and yellow striped satin. We found cute yellow wings from a local dollar store, and made antennae with black pipe cleaners, pom-poms and headbands.
AC went as a beekeeper, using a white paper painters suit, old yellow work gloves and a beekeeper’s hat that he found downtown.
We were a huge hit, and lots of people wanted to get their pictures taken with us, especially other people dressed up as bees. Can you guess why this guy came up to us?
He was Bumblebee from Transformers!
The wings were a little difficult to maneuver around the party with, but all-in-all it was one of the funnest Halloween’s I’ve ever had (and I didn’t even get candy).
The party was held at Tattoo Rock Parlour in downtown Toronto, and they really went all out with the decorations. I loved these bottles they had everywhere. So creepy.
And there were some great costumes. Who would have thought that you’d ever see Hannibal Lecter and Jesus having a drink together? Only on Halloween…
This robot cracked me up. He talked with a robotic voice the whole night and kept making beeping noises…even when no one was around. Now that is staying in character.
Well, I’m off to go put the finishing touches on my costume, dig all the skeletons out of the closet and carve the pumpkins. On a final note, I leave you with one of my favorite Donald Duck cartoons of all time, “Trick or Treat”.
Happy Halloween!
My husband and I saw a beekeeper + bee family costume a few years ago and swore we will do that if we have ever a little bee to dress up. Love it!
