Illustrated Oscar Party

So, last Sunday night I went over to Spec's place and we had ourselves an Oscar party.

The idea was to pick a character from a movie that was released in 2004 and dress up in a manner similar (hopefully) to that character. It's a whole kind of theme, you see?

So, I did, and we did, and there are pictures to prove it--such as:


As you can see here, there are a great number of us in Spec's apartment. (That's him with the hat in the top left, impersonating Howard Hughes from The Aviator. Beside him is Cordelia, dressed up as someone that I don't know because I didn't see the movie, because I'm not very cultured. Beside her is Jack Thunder, dressed as Joel from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Moving down to the seated partygoers is me (newly shaved for the occasion) in my role as Peter Parker from Spiderman 2. (You can't tell it but I have on a black t-shirt under my regular shirt and it had a Spiderman logo. Lulu is next to me, dressed as Eternal Sunshine's Clementine. Then there is Cameron as Bridget Jones, Terrie and her husband as Virginia Madsen and Thomas Hayden Church's Sideways characters, and Dr. Actually as Michael Moore.


This picture is noteworthy because it actually captured Jack T. smiling about something that was on television. I don't know how rare that actually is, but it seems like is should be fairly rare, so I thought I would include it. Also you get a good view of the wonderful spread of chocolate fondue that Spec laid out before us. (Come to think of it, that might be the real reason that Jack was smiling here.


Here you see me again, flanked by the lovely Raisinette, who was impersonating a college survey taker from Kinsey and the equally lovely E. who was dressed as Julia Roberts in Closer. I, as you can tell, am succeeding to look more like some old man that Spiderman's alter ego, but oh well.


Here is a better picture of Cordelia and Jack. I especially wanted you to get a good look at the authentic, period clothing of Cordelia's outfit. It is real folks, and looked very nice. A commendable effort.


We all had a great time. Thanks Spec for putting on a good event and thanks to Tegan for allowing me to go while she stayed home with the kids that night.

Glad that you and all the others could make it Burb. Thanks to everyone for dressing up and, especially to E for helping me clean up. 'Til next time.
