We were up 'til the wee hours of the morning having fun and being entirely ridiculous, joking and visiting, playing charades, and playing with one another's costumes. Speaking of, here are photographic highlights (and, by the by, MANY THANKS to Jay, Erin, and everyone for a fantastic time!):
Me as Obi-Wan Kevmobi. Susan bought a blanket from the thrift store and a bathrobe pattern from Wal-Mart, went home, set up her mom's sewing machine, and taught herself to sew so that she could make me this Jedi robe for my costume. She also made herself an apron for her own costume (below).
Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars
Susan as Cinderella (pre-ball)
Disney's Cinderella
Jay and Erin as Elwood and Jake Blues
Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as Elwood and Jake in The Blues Brothers
Jesse and Nicole as Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson. The white stuff on Nicole's jacket is faux spider web. Yes, Spidey webbed all over her before they came to the party.
Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane in Spider-Man
Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man. Jesse (above) is a dead ringer, wouldn't you say? (Come on, Jess! Where are the tights and codpiece?!)
Rob and Laurie as Dr. Emmett Brown and Marty McFly
Michael J. Fox as Marty in Back to the Future
Christopher Lloyd as Emmett
Missy as Mary Katherine Gallagher and Joey as Ron Burgundy
Molly Shannon as Mary Katherine in Superstar, based on the same character from Saturday Night Live
Will Ferrell as Ron in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
Tammy as Jennifer Aniston (um, "famous movie character"?!) and Mike as Napoleon Dynamite
Jennifer Aniston (she's still not a movie "character," though)
Jon Heder as Napoleon in Napoleon Dynamite
Chen and Ye as pirates (um, yeah)
Keira Knightly, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, and Geoffrey Rush in Pirates of the Caribbean
Ken and Traie as . . . themselves. (Tammy, in regular street clothes, trumps these two for at least pretending to be a movie star, if not a movie character.)
We got some mileage out of Joey's collection of sticky-backed mustaches. Rob is stylin' in a monobrow.
Mike's Napoleon wig also made the rounds. My favorite of all the models, though, is Jesse. This could be next year's Christmas card photo, Jess! (And, again, Spider-Man? Does NOT wear a 3-dimensional Halloween decoration wrapped around a red button-up shirt with blue jeans! Rent the DVDs!)
Before the crowd dispersed, some photog snapped a series of pics featuring the "movie buff" statuettes. Love Laurie's facial expression here!
Can you spot the statuette? Come on, ladies, focus!
How fun....some great pictures....I had a hard time finding the statue at the, er, end?...Sounds like a great party. And I loved the costumes!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the crappy pictures. We found out that the camera was set to low resolution. Dang paparazzi! Can't do anything right.
ReplyDeleteWe were SO glad you guys came all that way for the party and appreciate all the pre-party help you provided. We really miss you guys.

Are Erin and I going to face lawsuits due to these unauthorized, incriminating photographs? If so, I'm naming you as a co-defendant. Thans for making the cross-state trek to hang out with us. We love you guys, miss you guys, and look forward to the next time we can hang out with you. Thanks, also, for all of the party prep help. You guys are awesome friends.
ReplyDeleteIt was an awesome party! I'm going to go look through my closet to start planning my outfit for PROM! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a fun party!I really like the trophys!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that the light saber was really more of an action figure in itself as witnessed by many at the party. It's amazing it never fatigued out, but did get a bit sticky.
ReplyDeleteLove, SHALLOW THE BAIT!
Thanks for the wonderful pomegranate drink you were serving all evening...my head just stopped throbbing yesterday. Sorry for not replying to your email earlier...enjoyed the pictures and the commentary. If you try to sell the last one to one of those ladies magazines, I'd better get my cut! Best Regards, Ron
