LA CA GIRL |
My friends say I am easily amused. They are right. Like an ADD kid in a toy store, I am easily distracted by all of the wonderful things LA/CA has to offer. This blog will be my online version of my field notes from my adventures. Check back weekly for new pics, restaurant reviews and recaps of my shenanigans. |

I love Halloween!!! I had three costumes this year (Frankenstein and his bride with my bf, Troll dolls with my gfs and Hunger Games with my coworkers). It is so fun to get in the spirit and dress up. So, I am doing the top 10 BEST Halloween Costumes (I saw) of 2012!
10. Ace Ventura (pink tutu, crazy hair, combat boots)
9. Walter White (has to have a shaved head ;0)
8. North by Northwest (suit, tie pinned to the side and a model airplane attached above the head)
7. Publishers Clearing House winner (big check, hair in curlers, robe)
6. A Golden retriever dressed as Charlie Chaplan
5. French Kiss (Kiss makeup, beret, black and white stripped shirt)
4. Sister Wives (conservative dresses, long braid, 2+ girls + 1 guy)
3. Jaegar Bomber (vest with Jaegar and red bull attached to it)
2. Toy claw machine (glued stuffed animals all over themselves with twinkle lights and a claw arm)
