I stopped this couple at the Central West End Halloween party and asked them to explain their costumes. "I see the eggs," I said, "but what's the rest of it?" She pointed to her horns. "Oh, I see. Deviled eggs. But what about him?" She pointed to his head and wrist band and the brand on his shirt and told me "runny eggs!" I smacked my forehead like Homer Simpson finally realizing the obvious. "For this I went to college!" I said. They thought it was funny.
More from the Central West End Halloween parts. Awfully good makeup. He looks like he is waiting for a call or wielding his phone as a futuristic weapon (which maybe it is).
I made it to the Central West Halloween party. Didn't stay that long due to my creaky condition but got a few good shots. Everyone is happy to be photographed. Nice to see a family out for the evening but I think it's past the little one's bedtime.
You don't have to be good to be happy, so I thought I'd mix the theme with the day after Halloween. The illustration is from this year's St. Lou Fringe Festival in a show called Thee Wizard of Oz(es), a mashup of all the Broadway shows and movies. Other City Daily Photo members have a good cackle at https://citydailyphoto.org/category/theme-days/.
It's the day for another massive marketing ploy, but lots of people enjoy it. There is a huge outdoor party in our Maryland Plaza in the Central West End neighborhood. The costumes are outrageous and there are big prizes for the winners. This is a scene from last year. The weather look good tonight, my spine isn't too awful so I'm going to give it a shot. Results, I hope, to follow.
