my halloween post…

stephanie is: spooky spooky…
yes, i’m a little late, but here is my halloween post. and thanks to having wonderful photographer friends, it includes pictures!

so, on the saturday before halloween i went over to azcra & photo_obscura’s house with moosifer to get all dressed up in our costumes for a night out at the club. since they have a photography studio set up in their home, we all had photos taken in our costumes… the following pictures are all copyright/taken by photo_obscura:

<– can’t find stephanie? look for the nearest dog…

<– in my costume, looking tired although we haven’t gone out yet…

<– what’s a cavegirl without a cell phone? i was so tired i had double under-eye circle action. seriously. go dig up the original if you don’t believe me.

<– group photo! cavegirl me, mummy kor_al, little miss muffet krizsa, geisha azcra, & moosifer as “the continental”.

<– can’t let photo_obscura escape my entry without a photo…

with so many people, it took a while before everyone was ready to go to the club. i think we got there around 11 or 11:30 pm. I didn’t start dancing since i was told there was a costume contest at midnight and that i’d need to be near the stage for it. i had to go up on the stage when my name was called – i think they had picked out favorites ahead of time and then had them come up on stage for the winner to be announced. there were a lot of great costumes. the winner was a guy dressed as “hell boy” it was impressive, though i’ve never seen the movie.

<– here is me on stage with a pirate and someone from “farscape”, kraftwerk was to my left. (photo copyright/taken by sideshow bob)

<– and this would be the deer-in-headlights look i get when a stranger asks to take my picture. stranger danger! (photo copyright/taken by sideshow bob)

after all the costume fun i danced. and dance and danced. i *heart* dancing. i stuck to a corner of the stage since i typically need several feet of clearence on all sides due to my stomping and flailing. especially with my hair loose. i can pretty much dance until the music gets too sucky to bear. certain dj’s drive me away faster than others, but i shan’t name names. back in the day when danny was djing and i’d be out every week – sometimes 2x, i’d dance up to 4 hours straight. i really really miss it, so i am thinking of trying to go out once a month. i really like the club night kelowna has put together. she’s done a great job. perhaps i can time it so i go on the nights azcra has her art shows. i may go next weekend since it is the wonderful moosifer’s birthday celebration.

this weekend has gone way way too fast. i feel like i had time for little else but cleaning and errands. ah well, the week goes fast for me too since i am always busy.

i shall leave you with some dancing pics of me copyright/taken by the wonderful kollin bliss.

<– don’t stand too close when i’m dancing with my hair down…

<– this shot came out really pretty. the screen behind me was playing “the ring”.

<– oh! and one more taken by photo_obscuraazcra, velvetslade, and me!

night night!
