i have long wanted to host a sci-fi costume party, and so i finally did.
 |
| invitation from evite.com |
it was great fun and lots of people wore really imaginative costumes.
back l-r: a blind Romulan queen in disguise; Dr. Who; a short Storm Trooper;
and a crazy cat loving alien.
front l-r: "just another crewman" & a tribble; darth vader on his day off;
project runway's christian siriano (who really is an alien in real life)
more sci-fi fans: she-devil, a steampunk zombie hunter, and "just another crewman"
the cutest dolphin trainer ever.
(totally counts, because it's science.)
i totally want to be that when i grow up.
wolverine and his little boy.
best moment of the night was when he made his grand entrance carrying his little boy.
i'm so confused....

Thanks for a fun party. The girls had a blast. Love the picture of you with A.; too bad the little fairy princess wouldn't agree to a photo.
Sounds like it was amazing! Sad I missed it! The menu looks delectable! I so would have come as Deanna Troi!
