Safashiongirl: costume party

Halloween was so much fun, every year South Africans seem to get into it more and more because who doesn't love a dress up day? I had three trick or treaters and I was so excited to give them the candy I had left over from the party. I remember going trick or treating when I was younger, people weren't really as Halloweeny back then so we were lucky to get any kind of food, haha. I remember one year they gave my friends and I cranberry juice and breath mints...I used to dress up scarier but this year I was the cliche' sexy cop to celebrate being single for the first time since I was 15 (how did that even happen?!). Next year I want to bring out the fake blood and put crosses under my eyes for sure.

What I've learned from hosting a Halloween party:

Phones, cufflinks, name badges, hats and minds get lost
Fashion students are always fashionably late but it's worth it because they make their outfits
Drunk people are ok as long as they are "steppin"
Fake spiderwebs are tough to get off of your clothes, hair and ceiling
Silly string will end up in people's faces no matter where you aim it
Your Dreamgirls performance video will never see the light of day
Behave because a person who emailed you about a job might be there
It's not a party until someone gets punched
Hout Bay Mense & Co will forever live on in people's hearts
Bruises and high heel pain come with the territory
People get locked in rooms and give up trying to find a way out
Alcohol and exercise machinery don't mix
Handcuffs will somehow end up on someone so remember where the key is
Falling asleep to the Bratz movie at 4am is ok

All in all I'd say it was a success, I met two strangers this week who were telling me the stories they had heard about it which was fun to hear. Even if you were at a party, there always seems to be someone who has a hilarious tale to tell about something you didn't witness. I love my friends and it was so good to meet new people. Here's to a crazy Halloween next year! Have a lovely week. x
