Most of my friends know that one of my favorite times of the year is Halloween - and not just because I love candy corn. But because my sweet husband year after year lets me dress him up. Well, this year my birthday was non different. To make it even better, like Halloween, it was a social event - we roped friends into dressing up too! We ate our favorite pizza in town, listened to a rad 80s playlist and played some 80s "scene-it" (like trivial pursuit).
My get-up: legit high-top black rebok's of my moms, for real 80s wooden necklace (also mom's) and a vintage jacket from etsy (+ shoulder pads). I am basically the love-child of my mom in 1984 and Cindy Lauper.
Kyle kept his beard until the party - and although he and I would have considered him keeping it into the fall/winter - it was sacrificed for the good of the 80s party. See how much he loves me? :)
At some point we'll have to resurrect this look - so many costume possibilities with a scruffy 'stache like this one.
Oh but it gets better. 80s tennis pro + fanny pack. You're welcome.
The lovely couple.
Other Mezgers (Luke = Back to the Future) + preppy Davises
Totally Rad Fosheas + Rockin' Schwarzes (Bo = White Men Can't Jump)
Kyle + Maneesh = Brothers
Neon Sidhya & Maneesh
Preppy Murrays + oh-my-goodness Carlos (That's a tape player with a Van Halen cassette...)
Brother Alex = John Bender in Breakfast Club + Deidre = Flash Dance!
A scene from the movie: John Bender talks to Brian Johnson
And of course a couple of selfies - apparently Katie and I need to coordinate our smoochy duck faces.
Wig transfer from Carlos to Kyle = EPIC.
A few fun group shots.
It was so fun to see everyone go all out and be silly. Made me feel loved. :)
Just so you know we're not completely crazy - Kyle cut the mustache off the next morning.
Until next year...
