Halloween SWA-style

I know, I'm behind. Here's a quick post on our All Hallows' Eve:
 
Jeff's work hosts an annual Halloween extravaganza for the employees and their families. People take their kids out of school for the day and bring them to headquarters for non-stop entertainment, including competitive skits and dances performed by different departments (which you need tickets to watch because they get so crowded and they're so popular), bounce houses, face painting, a costume contest and dancing. And booze. The company is even cool enough to host the festivities throughout the day and wrap up the party by 5pm - meaning no extended work day and you get to take your kiddos trick-or-treating that night. Local radio personalities even come to host the big party. We've heard about Halloween since the minute Jeff started working there, and was told he would be part of the Halloween party-planning committee. I wasn't going to miss out. 
 
So, we planned our costumes about 5 days in advance (thank goodness for Amazon 2-day shipping) and we were all set. I was Audrey Hepburn a la Breakfast at Tiffany's. One woman knew who I was. The other 600 just thought I was a weirdo dressed in black. 
 
Jeff attempted to be Donald Trump. No one knew who he was. His wig was so bad...and not in the desired Trump bad way. Just bad. And strangely bright orange. We had fun nonetheless.
Holly and The Donald
 Oh yeah, and the Golden Girls made an appearance:

  1. SWA knows how to throw a party, and you, Holly, look pretty Hollywoodish, especially in the second photo. Jeff looks great, but whatever was paid for the Donald hair was a bit of a rip. I forget how many Golden Girls there were, but the real ladies are all way too good looking for one to be Bea Arthur, so maybe the guy clutching his purse is Bea?? Gotta love Texas.

  2. As soon as I clicked on "Post Comment" and looked at the pictures again, I realized the guy was Klinger from m*a*s*h...should have known that immediately, but can't believe someone like Ali wouldn't have pointed that out to me.
