Barbie's Halloween Party

This was my seventh consecutive year of attending Barbie's annual Halloween bash. As usual, it was a fun event. Barbie outdid herself this year with the spread of food. She had grilled shrimp, crab cakes, artichoke dip, and a range of desserts. It was excellent. Here are some photos from the bash. Thanks, Barbie, for being such a superb hostess.

1. Barbie and Chad as Gomez and Morticia Adams.

2. Jennifer E as the Devil in Disguise and me as Gilligan.

3. Barbie and me.

4. Michelle as a Swatch watch.

5. Mark as Ty Pennington from "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," and Ruben as a monk. Mark's costume was too funny, especially since he, Ruben, and I typically watch "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" with glasses of red wine since it comes on just before "Desperate Housewives." Mark had Ty's fake tan, megaphone, and crazy hair. It was great.
