Halloween week — guess what I’ll BEE?

It’s almost Halloween and the party got started early for me this year. Guess what I dressed up as this year? Wait for it, wait for it…

A Queen Bee!

Yes, I was a Honey Bee last year, but I graduated to queen status this year, complete with a crown. I figured it’s still a down economy so I might as well recycle my costume from last year. My bee wings did break down after getting hit by lots of folks throughout the night. So this year I got bigger and higher wings to reflect my queenly costume.

Here are some photos from the annual “Crazy, Sexy, Ghoul” Halloween costume party hosted by the Diamondhead Hui. I tried to look for the more creative and ODD costumes…

The Queen Bee and her Hive. Do those O&E bees on the shirt look familiar?

With a sexy angel and referee…

Here’s an idea for matt!

Or an idea for BananaFysh!

This guy was carrying around the Shake Weight! Wonder if he read my post…

The BP oil spill costume was reportedly supposed to be one of the more popular ones for 2010.

But I saw many more variations of the Chilean miners.

There were a whole lot of “dirty cops” at the party. My friend also had the handcuffs!

And yes, there were still lots of honey bees flitting around. The guy in the back was the flower! What’s up with the partners hiding behind sunglasses?

Didn’t know these characters…

Star Trek? Star Wars? Transformers?

The second guy on the right was a psycho sushi chef…

Role reversal!

Fairy friends…

My poor friend on the left had a hard time seeing in his costume.

Hot nurse and half-clothed guy who got to stay cool!

Lots of couples came as a theme…

Though single girls might want this guy instead!

Forgot what my friends said they dressed up as…

But this is the O&E picture of the night! Anyone recognize this guy with the head tilt?

So this is countdown week if you’re going to dress up for Halloween. Who has a costume so far? Anyone got any ODD ones this year?

Besides costume parties, what other fun Halloween traditions do you have? How many of you carve pumpkins? Or would you rather just eat pumpkin pie? Well, maybe not if you knew how they were made. See below…
