Work In Progress

Cleopatra, Disco Chick

I’ve had that song from 30 Rock stuck in my head since last night.

It’s that time of year! Pumpkins are being carefully chosen and carved into jack o’ lanterns, the bags of teeny, tiny chocolate bars that were stocked to the ceiling at Wal-mart are flying off the shelves and the kiddies are looking for the biggest bags they can find to take out on their trick-or-treat missions.

Once again, the creative juices began flowing at my office this month as we decided on costumes.

Today marked our annual Halloween celebration and once again, I was beyond impressed with the stellar ideas that my co-workers came up with. I LOVE Halloween and I really appreciate the opportunity to dress up every year. I originally wanted to be Gilly this year. I even perfected the dance and bought the wig (which Jessi ended up using for her Disco costume, so at least it didn’t go to waste…) but I couldn’t find the right dress and I didn’t have the time to spend searching for it. So I settled for being Cleopatra instead after I fell in love with the black and gold sequined outfit in the store. I love a chance to play a brunette for a day.

To check out all of the fun, creative and down right creepy costumes that showed up today, you can take a look at my Halloween 2009 set on Flickr.
