Happy Halloween to all five of my readers out there (hi mom!). We are taking a break on the house stuff this weekend to get into the holiday spirit. Last year my plans to go as Wendy Peffercorn from the Sandlot were crushed by the frigid Chicago temps; as was my plan this year (sorry Wendy, but it’s snowing). Instead, we went as Chicago’s very own Smokin’ Jay Cutler and the Black Unicorn aka Martellus Bennett. Don’t know who Smokin’ Jay is? Check this out, but just know that Smokin’ Jay DON’T CARE if you don’t know who he is.
This year, we are going as only the greatest musical duo of ALL TIME: Hall &
Oates. {please turn on “you make my dreams come true” whilst reading remainder of the post}. Matt will be taking on the role of Mr. Oates with his thick mustachio and I will the hot blonde that is Daryl Hall. So far a mullet wig has been purchased and (sadly) the rest of the costume is in my current wardrobe (knew those electric blue acid wash jeans would come in handy!). I will also be wearing my badass H&O earrings – which coincidentally, I am also wearing right now at work – that I picked up at the Renegade Craft Fair from Leroy’s Place (awesome stuff; they have that Rick Ross keychain you have been looking allll over for). Matt is going to work on the brooding stare while I will be mastering the mid-air jump and point for the evening.
Fun fact: one the beers we brewed for our wedding favor was Hall & Oatmeal Stout because I love to love them so much. And the label I designed won label of the week on GrogTag. Big day for the Wagners.
And here is the full wedding brew line-up just in case you were curious.
