I was kind of partial to the Mummy, but then I have a
soft spot for monsters.
I also thought ZZ Top and Kiss were pretty
awesome. Too tough to pick.

The Story of the
Hunchback Costume:
"I
saw your question on the internet
about who was the Hunchback.
I must confess I am the Hunchback.
My
name is Warren Milne - I have taken a
month of 2 step and cha cha lessons at SSQQ. I
made the constume myself and had help with the
make-up, and some of the cutting of the pants
and shirt. The hump was a Wal-Mart bag filled
with popcorn. I was delighted that no one
recognized me as that was the intent. I ask
many of the ladies to come to my bell tower and
ring my bells but had no takers.
The teeth were held in with dentu-creme, over my
real teeth- I don’t have false teeth yet - ha.
The reactions were various, in that some were
repulsed and some loved the idea. The worst of
the situation was that I had to cut off my
moustache in order to glue the eye to my face. I
am now in the process of re-growing
the moustache. I look forward to more lessons
when the schedule works out.
Thanks for a great party!
Warren"

"Diana's costume was great, but from a dancing physics perspective it had a fatal flaw - one of the planets "orbiting" her always came to rest under her left shoulder blade but couldn't be seen from the front, so coming back to closed every time, the lead would inevitably grab the planet, and not her. The funniest part of the costume, though, was her traveling third eye - it started the evening in the center of her forehead, but she experimented with various locations for it as the night went on. The most amusing was when she had it staring out from the middle of her chest for a while, to which I remarked that at least that way, guys would always be looking her in the eye one way or another."
