I mostly enjoy Halloween for the little kids, they look so cute all dressed up, and some of them have such clever and creative costumes (such as Corin!). But big kids, a.k.a. adults, also seem to enjoy the holiday as their annual chance to shed their inhibitions. My friends and I gathered for a pre-party at my little apartment before heading out for the real festivities. The quick subway ride was an adventure in itself, watching riders in all sorts of costumes get on and off along the way.
Amy and Heather topped off their costumes with temporary tattoos.
I was a leprechaun. Not sure that was so obvious, but this was the best I could put together in a couple hours.
The doc in blue scrubs is a real doc, so her costume wasn’t much of a stretch.
The ladies (never thought I could fit so many people in my apartment!)

This guy was (barely) dressed as the naked guy with a tire iron, from “The Hangover.” You should thank me for the censoring.

Despite the fact that I don’t love Halloween, I had a good time, and I was certainly entertained by some of the costumes out there. Until next year!
