We joined a group called meetup.com last month. Specifically we joined the 'London fancy dress' group - a group of like-minded individuals that like to dress in costume and do pub crawls in the city dressed in certain themes. October's theme was 'halloween' (duh). We figure since Halloween isn' t huge here, we would go out with a group designed to do it right. And oh was it fun!!
We got all dulled up to go out on this pub crawl and we were pretty excited. Our costumes were awesome as pirate, sorceress and devil. We pulled ourstogether from a shop in Camden market, as well as existing clothes (I bought my shirt in Greece last year). It was really strange taking the bus to central London because no one was dressed up! Astrid used the mask to her advantage and just stared people down when they stared at us. Mwa ha ha!
The bars chosen were all done up real spooky and so it felt authentically Halloween. At the second pub Nyla and Astrid played a trick or treating competition where they had to 'sell' a pumpkin full of sweets to patrons in the bar and all proceeds went to charity. They did so well that they won the prize - a flashing 'tales from the crypt' skull! We had an amazing time meeting other ghouls and chatting the night away with some cool folks.
