We Heart Halloween

Yet another holiday bash

There are certain holidays that call for a celebration extension, and Halloween is definitely one of them. We partied it up over the pre-Halloween weekend, but we just didn't get our fill of costumed dudes and whore-ish ladies. So we decided to check out the Ruby Room on Wednesday, October 31, to rejoice once again before burying the holiday until next year. (Click here for more photos.)

Maybe it was the purity of the actual date, but we thought the costumes this time around were even better than what we caught over the weekend. There was a great getup of "The Dude" from The Big Lebowski. He donned boxer shorts, a scummy bathrobe, and drank white Russians all night. But our absolute favorite was a band of three cholas who busted out the Dickies, wife-beaters, and heavy eyebrow pencil. It was so good, we can't wait until next year.
