Maureen the Halloween Party Queen: Part 1

(Some of this blog is based on actual events. Some of it is complete fiction. Enjoy. )

I’m Maureen Townsend, party girl extraordinaire, and my favorite soiree season is coming up. A season of mystery, mayhem and marvelous masquerades: Halloween season. Yup, I said season. No holiday this awesome should be constricted to one day, or even a weekend. I celebrate all month long. As do my costume party loving comrades.

In order to prepare for this inevitable smorgasbord of awesomeness, I have to find the ultimate Halloween costume. Well, costumes, to be exact. Each weekend leading up to the main event consists of a series of theme parties. The 31st being a free for all that’s held at this enormous, decked out abandoned factory. It’s pretty epic.

Theme 1: Partiers of the Past.

Stylish and Scandalous

My first pre – Halloween Costume is a tribute to the people who refused to stop partying, even when the law told them they had to: the dangerous dudes and dancing dames of the 1920′s. A quick change costume is perfect for this event, seeing as it is the first party of the season, and in the excitement, someone might do something “inappropriate.” Once said person realizes their faux pas, she can head to the nearest restroom fold down the top, switch out a couple of accessories and be back to the party in a matter of minutes. When people then start talking about ” the crazy girl dressed as a gangster who (insert embarrassing story here)”, you can join right on in. And hope that none of your friends realize who they were talking about (actually, I’m sure my friends wouldn’t care, but I’d sure hear about it for a while).

I could totally rock this.

Now that I’ve got my first Halloween Costume choice out of the way, I’ve got to start preparing for the second theme: Powerful Partiers. I’m thinking of going the superhero route…but the great thing about starting this early, is that there’s so much time to change my mind.

Until next time,

Maureen Townsend
