Well those of you who know us well know that Sophie celebrates Halloween every year, but so far I had managed to keep the decorations and celebration to a minimun. This however, I knew would change when we moved to Canada where Halloween is a big part of fall.
As it fell on a Saturday this year we decided to use that as an excuse to go out so we booked tickets to the Grave Gala, a charity halloween ball that had a very strict dress code....fancy dress or no entry. Sophie, as I'm sure you can guess, was more excited with the prospect than myself.
The theme this year was Parisian nightlife of the 1900's and the artist Toulouse Lautrec, this was even more pleasing to Sophie as it is the
theme of one of her favourite films Moulin Rouge, but I had made it clear I was
not going as Ewan Mcgregor! So using the film as inspiration Sophie went as a
prostitute/show girl and I went as the duke!
Here are some picture of
some of the other guests.
I must agree that we had a fantastic time and we both came away with
plenty of Ideas for next years fancy dress!
