Afrojet Costume Contest Winners
For my costume this year I went dressed as a photographer for Citysearch, which turned out to be, not just a pretty easy costume to wear but a fairly convincing one as well. Folks lined up for the chance to win the City Search’s ‘Best Halloween Costume in Portland’. Unfortunately, those folks will have to live with just a bit smaller scale celebrity status. Afrojet enjoys celebrating the ‘trick’ aspect of Halloween just as much as the ‘treat.

For me, the hands down winner goes to the genius execution behind ‘Team Zissou’. The attention to detail here was so good that there had to be speculation that these folks might have actually worked on the movie set. I was also impressed by the fact that an actual team was put together and it wasn’t just a solo Steve Zissou mission.

The ‘axe girl’ & ‘doom jesus’ costumes get the honorable mention. ‘Axe girl’ gets huge props in my book for those spooky eyes and for being one of the few women of the night not sporting some kind of ‘________ slut’ costume. I was a bit disappointed in the ladies this weekend as a good majority of the costumes fell into the ‘what kind of stripper are you’ motif (see: nurse stripper, cop stripper, pregnant britney spears stripper, devil stripper, dead stripper, etc, etc.).

Also note: the real axe that ‘Axe Girl’ is carrying. The security at the show didn’t even hesitate to let her in with it. You gotta love that.
