Happy Halloween

We had our office Halloween party today and it was a good turnout as usual. The winning costume(s) was the deceased Robert Palmer and his hottie backup band from the “Addicted To Love” video. Yours truly went as The Queen of Halloween along with another co-worker as the King. We had a royal court including a soothsayer and a hunchback. We were able to give out hideous fortunes to our co-workers this way. You know, “You better watch your back” and “He’s calling from inside your office!!” Other memorable entries include The Short Bus, Sick & Tired (good idea for a couples costume) and Norman Bates as his mother from “Psycho”. Ah . . . good times!

The reason we had the party today instead of the actual holiday on Monday is because it’s far easier to get people to remember to dress up and jack around on a Friday than a Monday. It was a good plan. Pumpkin carving was equally impressive. From a Pac-Man pumpkin to Hannibal Lector devouring a smaller gourd, they were all nicely done. Of course, I work at an ad agency, so we’d better be damn creative!

If you’re still short on ideas, remember that timely Halloween costumes always do well. Think of any big news story this past year (Michael Jackson) as well as any celebrities that might have passed on - like Robert Palmer or Luther Vandross. You get the idea. Happy Haunting from Socreepy!!
