Halloween is one of the highlights of my year and not just because my birthday is only a couple of days before. Halloween has become a sort of traditional celebration with my High school friends. We may miss birthdays, the odd new year celebration but at Halloween, we are always together to PARTY! This has been true for at least the last six years and I was even lucky to get a hand baked birthday cake even if Derek and Nicky (I mean Nick) had to spend all day getting it right. And yes we of course always have a guise.
This year I had my costume ready two weeks early which was one up from last year when I scrambled to get something together on Halloween morning. I had planned this out, I had a Rasta dreadlock wig, a big spliff, a cannabis leaf necklace and a psychedelic t-shirt, I was set. The weekend before Halloween we has a bit of a night out together where I found out Derek and Calvin were dressing up as characters from Star Trek, namely Captain Picard and Commander Riker. Now I did not know anything about Star Trek until I was given some Star Trek DVDs about a month ago by Arun who is a big Trekie so I could understand who these characters were.
That Tuesday I had an inspiration. Costume change, enter Geordi La Forge. This was kept a secret apart from my accomplice Robyn who helped with sourcing the costume. Kudos to her as she managed to keep all this secret from Calvin and Derek (boyfriend and constant house guest respectively). All this only a few days before Halloween cost a bit, mostly in postage but it was definitely worth it. Entering Derek’s house for the pre party I was greeted with a roar and a massive bear hug. They weren’t expecting it at all. Then followed a pretty cool night at the student’s union, pictures below courtesy of Calvin and Robyn and DUSA (click for original sizes). Unfortunately I cannot manage to do a Vulcan salute at all.
