31st of October. LeAndra's favorite holiday. a.k.a...Halloween

I'd like to share a few fond memories. Plus it's been awhile since we've posted any pictures. First off i just want to say that LeAndra and I take Halloween very seriously. like, we go all out. and we have done--every year. well except for our freshman year. I guess we didn't know how much fun it would be to dress up together...meaning, well you'll see. Halloween. it's tradition for us. and we always have fun.
Our sophomore year we decided we wanted to be LMFAO. Their new song "Everyday I'm Shufflin" had just come out. And we both loved the music video. COULD. NOT. STOP. WATCHING. IT. if you haven't seen it--just go and watch it. anyway that's where we got the inspiration to dress up like this:

is it sad that both of us can pull off looking like men? I personally think I look more like a man, my big nose and everything...but yeah. we totes def {that one was for you rachael;} look like actual, real-life MEN in that last one.

And then last year we wanted to be a duo again but LeAndra had said that she lost a bet or something to her cousin. She had to be Napolean Dynamite. so obviously I was going to be Kip. We took a grand adventure to the D.I. and got our costumes. and that's how we became this:

never mind the fact i look like a pedophile...LeAndra was for sure, hands down thee best Napolean Dynamite impersonator. That whole night she ran like him, she talked like him--it was great.

aaaand this year we could not figure out what we wanted to be. we really wanted to be Shawn Spencer and Burton Guster-- only the greatest best friends of all time {besides us} buuuuut we figured it might be a bit wrong/racist if one of us painted our skin dark. and besides you can't have a white Gus. but just imagine that possibility for a moment ok. We would have BEEN PERFECT. Both of us have seen every single episode more than once and we know pretty much every single word they would say in a situation. you know that's right. if only LeAndra was actually black...
so this year it was sort of last minute, but we ended up deciding to be "creepy porcelain dolls". The first year we actually got to be girls. and we put so much effort and planning and detail into this. awesome. costume. we went to goodwill and target and target again and then back to target again. it was fun destroying our dresses and then applying the make-up. FYI never put fake eyelashes on your bottom lashes. EVER. here is our masterpiece:

WOO-HOO.
