Day 131

Day 131: Ah, Halloween.  Is there any better day on the calendar?  Is there any other day that encourages - nay, REQUIRES - that one wear 4 inch glittery platform shoes to work?  I know, I know, sure, one could make the case for President's Day, but after the Van Buren incident, it's considered a bit gauche. 

As for the why... well, let's remember that I have gigantic feet.  Usually the way I shop for shoes is as follows:

"Welcome to Shoe Warehouse, home of a nearly unlimited selection of shoes!  How may I serve your shoe-buying needs today?"
"What do you have in a size 13?"
"I have one pair of black and green New Balance sneakers with orange soles."
"Okay, fine."  *sigh*

So when I come across sequin-covered platform shoes, I pretty much have a legal obligation to buy them, no?

And now, a couple of quick pictures of the evening in question:

These two were taken at The Golden Bear, a local eatery that also occasionally serves alcoholic beverages.  The cute army girl is our J9, who was coordinating the evening's festivities.

CHRONOLOGY NOTE: The above two pictures were actually shot on the previous Saturday; I'm including them in the Halloween edition of ChainsawPenguin because... because Halloween.

And here we are picking Mindy up from the airport.  Yes, of COURSE we went into the terminal!  And we made people smile, which is part of the fun of life!  And, just, you know, for the record, we're not pimps.  We're doing 70s disco.  People frequently misunderstood our intent.  My shirt is see-through, for cryin' out loud!  What kind of pimp wears a sheer shirt?  I ask you!!

I hope your Halloween was filled with laughs and love, and I hope you got to make someone smile.

PSA: Remember, it's not cool to tempt children to your home with candy any other day of the year.  Just sayin'.
