This Halloween started with getting mani/pedis with mah girls at a place called Hand Job in the Castro (yet another extension of celebrating Misty’s fabulous 40th birthday!). Not only is the name brilliant, but they serve you champagne the whole time… LOVE IT!

After brunching & hitting the office for a bit, I went over to my friend Cam’s house to borrow some costume fixins (the black wig, hot boots & fabulous white fuzzy jacket I wore last night were thanks to her). We drank wine and had fun talking about clothes & boys – good ol’ fashioned girl time! Plus, I got to snap a few photos of her hotty outfit.

After dropping her off, I cruised over to Glen Park where I walked around trick-or-treating with Todd, Amanda & their neighborhood friends & kiddos. So cute!! I am going to try to do that every year from now on. Seeing all the cute babies, kids, dogs & parents in costume is so fun. Plus it gives such a nice neighborhood feel to this bustling city of ours!

After falling in love with some seriously adorable kids (who at one point literally had me laughing so hard I was crying), and hangin with Todd, Amanda & their fun neighbors (parents of said adorable kids), I swooped home to throw a costume on…which resulted in me being in some type of Annie’s Got Her Gun getup (sans gun). I made people guess all night, in order to come up some better description, but I never got one (uh, I mean, I don’t remember if I did).

This year I heard a lot of people talking about how Halloween is this instant excuse for girls to dress up slutty. (Seriously, I feel like I heard several people talk about that this year, more than ever before), but dressing up last night, it made me realize why that is. First of all, most of the time in San Francisco we either wear t-shirts, jeans & hoodies, or more professional work clothes… so what’s left? All the hot little dresses in our closet that we never have a chance to wear!

Plus, I gotta say, when people are in costume they’re in rare form. It makes for a super fun night & a great opportunity to meet someone new. So hey, why not look hot? I loved this tweet by JayZombie addressing the topic:

Ha! Love her. She was at Andy’s huge house party, too – most all my peeps were, so it was awesome! Sooo many people, so many ridiculous costumes, and so much whisky. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any photos there (I’ve completely given up on all my cameras, I need a new one so bad!), but I have one in the set Ryan Frietas snapped of me, Kristen & Aubs. Overall it was such a ridiculously fun day. This year really made me love Halloween a lot more. Hope you all had a fun one!
