Halloween

Like most Americans, I'm a huge fan of Halloween and will celebrate it whether I'm in America or not. So this year after a suggestion from a friend and some costume shopping by my dear mom, the package was mailed from the states. It took a little cutting here and altering there but the costume turned out quite nice. I was ready to be one of my favorite fellow Geminis, Marilyn Monroe.


Once the fake eyelashes had set and last makeup touches applied, my friends and I headed to The Thistle Pub in Paris where a friend of mine works. We had just missed the Halloween themed pub quiz but made it in time for the costume contest. They had everyone who dressed up walk behind the bar and strut their stuff and whoever got the loudest cheers won. I was a little embarrased to do it but when everyone cheered and I was named the winner, I have to admit I was pretty stoked!
So while I may have been hit on by more guys than I could count, including a very old man.. and gawked at by the french as we walked down the street.. It was worth it because it turned out to be a fabulous and memorable Halloween in Paris.
