| November 2, 2009 | The (Frog) Princess and the Pea(pod) |
 It's hard to believe that I blogged about our Halloween costumes this year, and neglected to mention the dogs' costumes. What good is Halloween if you don't get a chance to dress up dogs in costumes? Any excuse to dress dogs up in outrageous outfits must be visually documented. Searches for "Dogs in costumes" needs to give "Funny cat viral videos" a run on Google trends, right? This year, we dressed Maggie and Bocce up as the (Frog) Princess and the Pea(pod). Bocce was a Dalmation puppy sidekick to my Cruella De Ville for her first Halloween in 1998. This is Maggie's first time dressing up.

Chris and I have two great ideas for our costumes this Halloween. Unfortunately I can't tell you what they are so that you can help us decide, because that would ruin the surprise. We take Halloween VERY seriously, and we don't like to announce our costumes ahead of time. It would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it? Last year we dressed up as Sid and Nancy and imitated their classic poses. When we were out at a party in Santa Monica at Joanna's house, to complete the effect, we made sure to shout key lines from the 1986 film "Sid and Nancy: Love Kills." Of course, this meant I was saying things like, "Siiiiid! They wouldn't send us any money! They said we'd spend it on DRUGS!" Check out our pics from Halloween 2008 in LA. For Halloween 2007, we dressed up as Rick Deckard and Rachael the replicant from 1982's "Blade Runner." We are both HUGE fans of the film, so we didn't forget the important details. For example, I don't even smoke, but I held a clove cigarette during the Voight-Kampff test "interrogation scene" photos. See our pics from Halloween 2007 in LA. For Halloween 2006, we dressed up as Britney and K.Fed. They were still married at the time. And we had the babies, and everything. No detail was spared. Chris wore huge diamond (well, Cubic Zirconia) stud earrings and white sneakers, and I drove the car with the babies on my lap. See our pics from Halloween 2006 in LA.For Halloween 2006, we made a video of trying to decide what to wear. We posted it on Yahoo! Video and YouTube and it went viral and received over 13,000 views.

On Friday night a bunch of us went to see Alfred Hitchcock's "Notorious" at Oakland's Paramount Theatre. The Paramount is absolutely gorgeous, one of the nicest art deco theaters in the country. But we weren't totally prepared for the magic of Deco-Win. All this for $5. Need to see more? Allyson has comments and more pics. Labels: allyson, film, movie, pics posted by Jess Barron @ 10:53 PM
