Virgin Queen’s Halloween
Guests Howl for More
Imagine, if you will, the characters from the latest
Star Wars’ movie, the dark atmosphere of a Batman movie, and the energy
of the toga party scene in Animal House and mix them together, much as
a witch would stir her cauldron. That pretty much sums up the Virgin
Queen’s (Sue Widman’s) Halloween Party. Sue and friends had spent many
hours decorating, not only the inside of her house, but also the patio
and yard with tombstones, jack-o-lanterns, grim reapers, skeletons,
dead people, dead rats, ravens, spiders, bats, witches.......Well, you
get the idea. To take it all in, you really have to go to Sue’s house
twice, once during the day to see all the decor and second, at night to
enjoy all the special lighting and the party. Yes, it is quite well
done. The Halloween theme is even carried on in the skull goblets and
plates. The “brain” in the Bloody Mary mix was a nice touch too. Many
of us, especially liked the talking rat with the stomach ache which was
a gift from Art and Sharon Arneson.
Almost everyone was in costume and some of the couples
coordinated their outfits. Jack Gillette and Laurie were Irish themed,
she as a bonnie lass, and he in battle kilt and sword. Jon Gilstrom and
Peggy Young were caped crime fighters as Superman and Cat Woman, Paul
and Betty came as a Southern belle (with the most fantastic costumes
made by Betty herself) and her butler, Bruce Burris and Mary Lynn came
as Zorro and his pretty Spanish senorita. The Most Unrecognizable Prize
should go to Jerry Peterson, who was really scary-looking and very hard
to identify the person behind the costume.
A number of guys were hoping to get arrested by the two
gals (Sandi Braget and Cindy Gordon) who were dressed as policewomen
who could to stop traffic. Louise Clem was a sexy Ms. Santa, which
wasn’t really scary, but worth mentioning. Others seen at the party
were Jeff Britt, Marilyn Kern, Rich, Mark, Fred, Candy, newcomer Chip,
new member Bobbie Hanna and, of course, Bill Power in beddie-time drag.
I think that I was the only pervert there. I came as a flasher, so I
didn’t have to go out a buy a costume, had everything for my costume
already.
Guy made a good pervert - flashing us with his little
personal flash-light, located in a conspicuous area under his
trench-coat. Actually, it was a great costume and he gave us many
laughs and almost got arrested.
Thank you again, Sue.....A great “Hoot” of a
party!
Sandi Braget and Guy Moyer
