Hi Lovely Readers!
We apologize if there are a few days between posts this week. Cath and I (and my bf) are all struggling through the flu, so we’re moving a little more slowly. We hope a few more Halloween photos keep you entertained!
Cath and her bf went as Yoko and John. My bf and I went as Lady Gaga and. the Dread Pirate Roberts. Not exactly a couple, but I think their natural flamboyance (pirate boots, shirts, mustaches!) draws them together.
We also found a connection between Gaga and Yoko. After Lady Gaga performed Imagine a few weeks ago (see the performance here), Yoko called Gaga and told her how choked up she got watching the performance, and Lady Gaga said that Yoko was one of her idols. Awesome, non?!
Yoko’s Costume: Lar’s hat, Asos sunnies, H&M sweater, AA skirt, thrifted boots. Wig from Party City.
Lady Gaga’s Costume: AA leotard and metallic bandeau, belt from Asos via Anywhere But Here, River Island nude fishnets, Jeffrey Campbell thigh-highs, wig, lashes, gloves from local costume shops.
Cath and I only had to buy wigs and a few make-up items to create our costumes. I hate spending a lot of money on Halloween, but I love to dress up (not obvious, is it?). I decided to go as a pantsless Gaga because I was at house parties most of the night. I don’t think I would have been gutsy enough to wear this ensemble in public. maybe I need to channel my inner Gaga more often.
Thanks for all the sweet comments in the post below! For those of you curious about the rotating image of me as Lady Gaga in the previous post, I made an animated .gif in Photoshop. This guy gives a great tutorial here.
Hope you wonderful people are having a great week and are flu-free!
xoxo,
Lar (i.e. Lady LALA)

Husband Mike is gonna be SO JEALOUS. He’s wanted us to go as John and Yoko for years. You both looked utterly fab, as did the BFs.

Oh my goodness, you rock as Lady Lala!!! (Some of my friend’s nickname for me, btw :)) You look AMAZING!!! Eek!
Poor Cath and the groping shots – too funny! At least is was her BF so that’s OK. They both look fabulous!
Hope you guys feel better soon! Lots of liquids, fruit and extra calories to fight it off 🙂

Nicely done! Wish my hair was long enough for a Yoko costume (also need a boyfriend.it’s kind of hard to pull of Yoko without John haha). And Lar, your Gaga costume is amazing!
