Fly me to the Moon, and let me play among the stars...of RMNAAFA!
|
On October 30, 1999, RMNAAFA put on one devil of a great Halloween party!
|
 |
 |
We all owe a world of thanks to Patti for her hospitality, to Angella,
Dina, JeanMarie and the others for their showmanship, to all the folks
who provided decorations, and refreshments, and elaborate and exciting
costumes....
|
It all added up to a spectacular party.

Leslie went as a Dominatrix and won for scariest costume with Joe's
son Nick a close second. He was a skeleton. Dina won "best of" with her
Marilyn Monroe costume sewn for her by Gaille. Margaret won cutest with
her "Hell's hula girl" costume. Debra N. came down with Margaret and had
an awesome costume of a dragon fly that she made herself. I was very impressed
with how it turned out. Jan Marie was one cool cat in her animal print
outfit and her face painted like a cast member from "Cats". We should have
had a prize for best face painting, she would have won hands down! Joe
and his wife came as couch potatoes. What was cute is that they took there
costumes off for comfort and set them on two chairs and they looked cute
as props too! Angela came as a vampire but nobody let her bite them, at
least not while I was looking! JeanMarie came as the devil with horns glued
onto her forehead. Janet S looked very pretty with her evening dress and
a feather mask over her eyes. Sherry G came as the queen of hearts. Dina
helped get that designed and put together for her. Patti Kelly came as
the Tooth Fairy (what a stretch huh!) and handed out Halloween survival
kits (toothpaste, floss, a toothbrush and sugarless gum) to everyone. Jeff
came as Jeff and Lyda came as Lyda. |
| We had 6 people bring craved pumpkins for a contest. Leslie had an
awesome bat pumpkin that won the prize. JeanMarie spray painted a pumpkin
gray and had little astronauts and the flag on it celebrating our moon
landing. Angela must have spent hours craving the "Welcome" pumpkin. Lyda
ad a very cleaver and cute Jack o lantern that is hard to describe but
was very creative. I got a white pumpkin...ok it was more grey/green...and
did kind of a Casper the friendly ghost pumpkin. Margaret had a scary pumpkin
that sort of looked like the devil I guess since she was "Hell's Hula girl"
it fit. |

Angela made a graveyard pudding treat complete with tombstones. She
also whipped up a wonderful punch with gummy worms in the ice ring. I had
a cute Jack o lantern cheese ball that we all ate from the back first.
His face finally did get eaten! Leslie and Joe brought cakes and others
brought pop, chips, dip, hot wings. Needless to say there was plenty of
food. |
We had a number of brave souls try out Angela's Karaoke machine. Of course,
Angela wowed everyone, but Dian and a couple of others turned in some stellar
performances.

We had two raffles that made 17 or 18 dollars. Angela and Leslie donated
those prizes. The prizes for the for the contests were donated by Angela
and Patti...mostly Angela and I must say they were cute! Angela and Margaret
made cute spider pops that everyone took home. One of our NAAFA members
came by while we were setting up and helped out. She left the cutest doodle
pads for us all. They have our Rocky Mountain NAAFA logo on them and are
very nice.

And no, Leslie, we don't believe that you dress like that to work....
