Since Hallowe'en is pretty much limited to (widely celebrated in) North America, we obviously weren't at all surprised by the lack of jack-o-lanterns, trick-or-treaters, or bite-sized candy in the stores. But that didn't stop us from hosting a Hallowe'en party for friends and colleagues.
Actually, we jointly hosted it with our friends (and neighbors on the 5th floor) Melissa and Arnaud, who also threw their doors open, so that people could wander back and forth between apartments—to sit and visit with folks, or (in our place) to stand up and dance... whether in John Travolta/disco-style, or doing the limbo (how low can you go?!), or zombie-like fashion.
Most people came in costume, and we were all duly impressed by the vast array and creativity on display: some pirates, a skeleton, a witch, a zombie, an angel, several Madonnas, a dead princess, a Ninja, an iPod, an underwater treasure-seeker, a gangster, a dancing queen, even a Frida Kahlo, you name it—everything, perhaps, except a Sarah Palin, which would have been truly horrific.
Plenty more photos at our photo blog, if you're interested.
And scroll down to the previous post, to check out the jack-o-lantern carving session from the day before.
